My son is a year old and has been detected with pneumonia. Yesterday night his wheezing got serious and he had to be admitted to the hospital. He was given oxygen support. I am extremely worried.

it depends on his underlying history ( has he had recurrent pneumonia) and the type of infection. Most children recover completely from pneumonia if there baseline health is good.
No pneumonia should be taken lightly.
Hello, I am sorry to learn that your baby has been diagnosed with pneumonia. Usually with treatment and breathing support as needed infants can recover well, but it can take time. However, sometimes, the pneumonia could progress and become more serious. Please follow with your pediatrician's advice about what is best for the baby. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.
