Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. I wonder if rhinitis could cause recurrent bronchitis.Doctor's answer:
The baby is too young, and the condition changes rapidly. Self-administering medication will delay the baby's condition. Currently, the baby has an upper respiratory infection with symptoms of coughing. Treating the disease only addresses symptoms, which is treating the symptoms but not the root cause—it's a misconception. It is recommended to take the baby to see a doctor. Otherwise, if the upper respiratory infection is not properly controlled, it may develop into bronchitis or bronchopneumonia. Pediatric ear, nose, and throat diseases pose significant harm to patients. It is advised that patients seek timely treatment at a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily care can include drinking more water and paying attention to dietary issues. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
