Effect of vitamin C supplement in treatment of childhood pneumonia requiring hospitalization: A randomized controlled trial
Vitamin C supplementation did not reduce the length of hospital stay among patients with CAP who required hospitalization. However, it improved the mean clinical severity score, with the greatest reduction observed at 48-hour posttreatment. A dose of 15 mg/kg was demonstrated effective with minimal side effects.
