How to deal with bronchitis in a 3-year-old child

Patient's question:

The baby got bronchitis in the hometown when he was one year and ten months old. Since then, he often suffers from it every month and a half. He coughs with phlegm, sometimes wheezes, and occasionally has a fever. This time, it's happening again. The doctor said he has an allergic constitution and needs to have a lung function test at the city's children's hospital. It may require long-term medication. I would like to ask: After the test, can this disease be cured? Will it affect his future? How can we prevent his frequent incidence? Thank you!

Doctor's answer:

Bronchopneumonia is a major and common disease in children, especially prevalent in infants and young children. Bronchopneumonia is caused by bacteria or viruses. Provide sufficient vitamins and protein, drink water frequently, and have small, frequent bowel movements to maintain respiratory tract patency. Timely and thorough removal of upper respiratory secretions, frequently changing body positions. Infusion of antibiotics for anti-inflammatory treatment, while using whey liquid atomizer for inhalation therapy. Pay attention to keeping the baby warm and avoid exposure to cold.
