Ayus D., 1

Ayus is a 5 month boy who is living happily with his parents in a tin shedded house. Ayus is a very charming boy. His parents want him to be a сricketer. His father is the only earning member in his family. He was suffering from Pneumonia with the complaints of severe respiratory distress, shortness of breath, cough, cold, fever and lethargic. Ayus's Mother says: "I am worried about my child. His condition doesn't improve. Government hospital couldn't help us dues to lack of medicines and the price of treatment. We have met Dr.Aziz from Narayanaganj Polyclinic who told us about Helpster Charity. The hospital has started treatment but we will still need to pay the hospital. I beg Helpster Heroes to support us to cover the treatment cost. Thank you!"

Ayus, a 5-month-old baby boy, was suffering from severe pneumonia. Despite multiple courses of antibiotics from a local pharmacy, his condition continued to worsen, necessitating emergency hospitalization. Upon his arrival, Ayus received oxygen therapy and nebulization with sulbutamol, ipratropium bromide, and budesonide. He also needed injectable antibiotics and corticosteroids due to the critical nature of his illness. Fortunately, he has made a significant recovery and is now back home with his parents. Filled with joy, his parents shared their heartfelt appreciation: "We were incredibly anxious about our little Ayus. Without the support of the medical team and Helpster Heroes, we don’t know what we would have done. Thank you for saving our son!" Their smiles reflect the immense relief and happiness they feel now that Ayus is healthy once more.

Pneumonia should be treated with antibiotics. If left untreated, pneumonia may lead to the permanent lung damage, respiratory failure, septicaemia (infection entering blood stream and causing sepsis), pleural effusion (accumulation of fluid in the space between the lung and chest wall, which can make breathing difficult), and other life-threatening complications.
