Conditions

Pneumonia is inflammation of the lungs and fluid collection in the alveoli. The two most common organisms responsible for pneumonia in low-income countries are Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae . Children with pneumonia are treated with antibiotics, with hospitalisation and oxygen supplementation required in some cases, depending on disease severity. Accumulation of secretions in the airways due to respiratory infection contributes to the worsening of clinical symptoms and lead

Interventions

Intervention 1: In this study the sample size is 16, and is divided into 2 groups. Intervention group 1 and interventional group 2. Each group contain 8 individuals. Interventional group 1 will receiv

Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Forced Vital Capacity (FVC). Timepoint: Measurements will be repeated after 4 weeks of 1st intervention. Method of measurement: The pulmonary function variables which will be assessed would be the Forced Vital Capacity (FVC) with the use of a spirometer. A brief description about the assessment procedure including technical steps to obtain pulmonary function data and variables will be explained to each subject. After 2–3 tidal breaths, subjects will be asked to inhale deeply to total lung capacity and then immediately exhale rapidly (without any pause) through a disposable mouthpiece until as much air as possible has been expelled from the lungs. The test will be performed with each subject in in high sitting position. The assessment will be repeated 3 times after adequate rest. The average values of the forced vital capacity (FVC) will be recorded.;Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1). Timepoint: Measurements will be repeated after 4 weeks of 1st intervention. Method of measurement: The pulmonary function variables which will be assessed would be the Forced Expiratory Volume in one second (FEV1) with the use of a spirometer. A brief description about the assessment procedure including technical steps to obtain pulmonary function data and variables will be explained to each subject. After 2–3 tidal breaths, subjects will be asked to inhale deeply to total lung capacity and then immediately exhale rapidly (without any pause) through a disposable mouthpiece until as much air as possible has been expelled from the lungs. The test will be performed with each subject in in high sitting position. The assessment will be repeated 3 times after adequate rest. The average values of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) will be recorded.	—
