Patient's question:
The baby had a cough and runny nose recently and went to the hospital for a thorough check-up. It was diagnosed with bronchitis. After taking medicine for three days, the condition gradually improved. The cough became less severe, and only occasionally occurred in the past two days. However, yesterday, the cough and runny nose returned. Tonight, the baby vomited milk after coughing, and vomiting occurred every time after feeding. Yesterday, another baby with a cold was also coughing, and they spent the entire day together. Now, my baby has also started coughing. Could it be an infection, or has the bronchitis not fully recovered yet?Doctor's answer:
I am very willing to help you solve problems and answer questions. According to your description, the baby has a cough and runny nose, and has been diagnosed with bronchitis. After the medication improved the condition, the cough returned along with vomiting milk. It takes time for the illness to fully recover. I suggest you take good care of the baby at home. Ensure the room is well-ventilated, clean, and maintains a suitable temperature and humidity. The mother should eat a light diet, avoid spicy foods, and consume more fresh vegetables and fruits to ensure a high-quality milk supply for the baby. Try to minimize visits to public places to prevent cross-infection.
