Patient's question:
Baby got sick at nine and a half months, coughing, sneezing, and running a nose for a week. Went to the hospital, and it was diagnosed as bacterial infection. Took medicine for several days but didn’t get better. Then visited a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, who said it was bronchitis. Drank traditional Chinese medicine for three days but still didn’t get better. So urgent, please help!Doctor's answer:
Based on the child's symptoms, it is preliminarily considered that 1. Upper respiratory tract infection? 2. Acute bronchitis. The child is often caused by viral or bacterial infections, which can frequently recur symptoms such as nasal congestion, runny nose, hiccups, and coughing. When bronchitis occurs, coughing is often more severe, and fever symptoms may appear. It is recommended to rest sufficiently. Avoid spicy foods, greasy foods, and overly salty foods. Do not over-tense, avoid cold drafts, and properly hydrate. The treatment for acute bronchitis typically takes about a week. It is recommended that the child have a chest X-ray to confirm the presence of bronchitis and then proceed with anti-inflammatory and lung-cleansing treatment.
