How to treat bronchitis in a one-week-old baby

Patient's question:

Frequent shortness of breath, apart from coughing, without bronchitis, accompanied by prolonged nausea and vomiting, high fever, and a rash similar to tinea. Went to the hospital for a check-up, and the doctor said the immunity was low, and the blood count was also low. Took medicine, drank medicine, and about 7 days later, the condition improved. But it recurs when the weather changes or when not paying attention. What should I do? What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, how should I stabilize the child's low immunity? After all, the child is still young. Thank you for your help, doctor.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, parent of the patient! Based on your description of the condition, it is highly likely that your baby has asthma and eczema. It is recommended to inhale fluticasone for treatment. For children to effectively inhale fluticasone, a spacer device is required. The medication and spacer can be purchased at the hospital. It is advised to bring your child to the hospital for a follow-up visit in the pediatric respiratory department, where the doctor can also teach you how to use it at home. The inhalation treatment itself can prevent recurrence when your child has a fever in the future. Wishing all children a speedy recovery.
