Recurrent pneumonia can be due to various causes like a severe infective organism, poor child immunity, gastroesophageal reflux disease etc. There is no permanent cure but, if she is having loss of weight and poor weight gain, poor growth of height, recurrent vomiting after food intake etc, then the child needs to be thoroughly investigated for the cause.
