Kim Kardashian West and Kanye West's son Saint is recovering after being treated in hospital for pneumonia.

The two-year-old was rushed to hospital in the Los Angeles area according to TMZ where he was treated for a "bad case of pneumonia".

Kim and Kanye are said to have remained at his bedside, sharing overnight duties, as Saint was kept in for two days, before being released.

Kim took to Instagram to shed light on the "scary" experience.

The mother of two posted a photo of her holding her son along with the caption:

"My precious baby boy is so strong! After spending three nights in the hospital & seeing my baby get multiple IV’s and hooked up to oxygen machines, our end of year was challenging. Pneumonia is so scary. I just want to thank every nurse & doctor out there who works so hard around the clock. We are so grateful for you all! He’s home and all better. He’s so resilient I’m sure he will still say the ambulance ride was cool! My strong Saint."

The 37-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star and the 40-year-old rapper are expecting a third child this year, via a surrogate.

Meanwhile, Kim has revealed her New Year's resolution is to, "be on my phone less and be more in the moment."

She previously revealed she thinks the Paris robbers - who targeted her in October 2016 - did so because they could track her whereabouts on social media.

She said: "What I think happened now, after like thinking about it so much, is that there was probably a group of guys that were following us the entire trip. I was Snapchatting that I was home and that everyone was going out. So I think they knew [bodyguard Pascal Duvier] was out with Kourtney and that I was there by myself. They had to have known we were leaving that I was there by myself. They had to have known we were leaving that day. They had this window of opportunity and just went for it."
