Doctor's answer:

Normal fever is usually only due to upper respiratory tract infections and typically improves within about a week. If the immune system strengthens and bronchitis reappears, it may lead to symptoms such as coughing and excessive phlegm. If your child hasn’t recovered after two weeks, it’s recommended to visit a hospital for a thorough examination. At the hospital, blood tests and chest X-rays should be conducted to rule out acute bronchitis and pneumonia. It’s also advisable to check for Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and tuberculosis antibodies, as the incidence of these special infectious diseases has been increasing in recent years. Additionally, it’s important to follow the prescribed treatment plan and complete the full course of anti-infection therapy.
