Patient's question:
On the afternoon of October 4th, the baby had a fever, and by that evening, the fever had subsided but coughing had started. On the third day, a runny nose appeared, and the cough had become dry for two days before progressing to phlegm. After taking medicine for a week, the condition improved, but lying flat at night caused severe coughing, significantly interfering with deep sleep. Blood tests and a chest X-ray confirmed bronchitis. After taking medicine for another week and undergoing inhalation therapy, the cough stabilized, but it still persisted with clear nasal discharge.Doctor's answer:
The treatment course for bronchitis is long, and the baby needs to take the medication attentively. Sputum culture and drug sensitivity tests can be conducted, and sensitive antibiotics should be used to suppress infection based on the results. Additionally, taking lung-cleansing and expectorant drugs can be quite effective. Drink plenty of water, and ensure the indoor air is fresh. In the initial stages of treatment, complete self-recovery is necessary, otherwise, it may lead to non-recovery and potentially develop into chronic bronchitis. The above advice is for the question "What should I do if the baby has a fever on October 4th in the afternoon?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
