Bronchopneumonia typically resolves within 2–3 weeks. It is commonly classified according to the causative pathogen—such as bacterial, viral, or *Mycoplasma* infection—each requiring distinct management approaches. Notably, *Mycoplasma* infections generally entail a longer treatment duration. The overall treatment course depends on disease severity, and individual recovery patterns vary significantly. Children with robust physical constitution and strong immune function tend to recover more rapidly following treatment.
