Bronchopneumonia in a 2.5-month-old infant typically resolves within 2–3 weeks, but the actual duration of recovery depends on the specific clinical condition and its progression. The chosen treatment approach also influences the treatment duration—different therapeutic strategies may result in varying treatment lengths. For infants with bronchopneumonia, it is essential to complete the full prescribed course of treatment. During therapy, regular blood tests are required for follow-up evaluation. Intravenous infusion is generally the primary treatment modality, supplemented by nebulization therapy.
