Can a child with bronchopneumonia admitted for 3 days at 45 days old be discharged?

Patient's question:

Fever, sneezing~ Coughing. The X-ray diagnosis was bronchopneumonia, and the blood test showed white blood cells at 20~. On the same day, I received intravenous fluids and was admitted to the hospital. The next morning, I had another blood test and continued intravenous fluids. At that time, the doctor asked that I could be discharged in 7~10 days. However, on the third day, which is today, I was discharged after finishing the intravenous fluids.

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be bronchitis, and antiviral treatment is the most important aspect of bronchitis treatment. The treatment of bacterial bronchitis includes empirical treatment and targeted pathogen treatment. Additionally, the choice of antimicrobial drugs and administration routes should be based on the patient's age, presence of underlying diseases, risk of aspiration, whether they are in a general ward or an intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and the severity of bronchitis.
