Abstract: In underdeveloped nations, severe lower respiratory infections are the principal reasons of infant mortality. The best treatments and early diagnosis are now being used to alleviate this issue. In developing nations, better treatment and prevention approaches are still required. Clinical, microbial, and radiographic clinical studies have a broad range of applicability within and across populations, and it much depends on the knowledge and resources that are made accessible in different situations. The most appropriate procedure is a chest radiograph (CXR), although pediatric chest X-ray techniques using machine intelligence are uncommon. A strong system is required to diagnose pediatric pneumonia. Authors provide a computer-aided diagnosis plan for the chest X-ray scans to address this. This investigation provides a deep learning-based intelligent healthcare that can reliably diagnose pediatric pneumonia. In order to improve the appearance of CXR pictures, the suggested technique also employs white balancing accompanied with contrast enhancement as a preliminary step. With an AUC of 99.1 on the testing dataset, the suggested approach outscored other state-of-the-art approaches and produced impressive results. Additionally, the suggested approach correctly classified chest X-ray scans as normal and pediatric pneumonia with a classification accuracy of 98.4%.
