Patient's question:
The baby rarely coughs, occasionally with a couple of coughs, and then it has a recurrent fever. Is it caused by inflammation? An examination was conducted this morning. The doctor said it's severe bronchopneumonia. Is it the same as pneumonia?Doctor's answer:
The baby has been experiencing recurrent fever, with occasional coughing. It is recommended to take the child to the doctor for a chest X-ray to check if it is bronchopneumonia. Bronchopneumonia is a common lung infection in children, which is also known as pneumonia. Additionally, the symptoms the child is currently experiencing may indeed be indicative of bronchopneumonia. It is advised to undergo intravenous treatment, and it is necessary to closely monitor the child's temperature fluctuations. Generally, bronchopneumonia is much more severe than pneumonia.
