Hello
Thanks for your query.
I am telling you that it may not be a mere congestion only. There may be an underlying congenital abnormality or other chest abnormality which is causing recurrent pneumonia or pneumonia like presentation the evaluation of which you need to consult a pulmonologist and proper evaluation by HRCT scan with contrast study of thorax and fibre-optic bronchoscopic evaluation for which you need to consult a pulmonologist.
Thank you
