Patient's question:
The baby is 33 months old. A little over a month ago, they were hospitalized for bronchopneumonia. Now, they occasionally hiccup, about three or four times a day, with no nasal discharge and occasional coughs. Is it necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough check-up?Doctor's answer:
Occasional cough or chills may be a response of the respiratory tract to foreign substances in the environment. If coughing is accompanied by chills and a runny nose but no fever, it could be a possible upper respiratory infection. It is recommended to take oral pediatric herbal medicine for surface relief and pediatric cough and asthma effervescent tablets for treatment, while carefully monitoring the condition. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Does the baby need to be checked after treatment for bronchopneumonia?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
