Patient's question:
The day before yesterday, I had a cough and sometimes a fever. Today, I went for a check-up and was told it was bronchopneumonia. I got an injection all day, and when I took medicine at night, I vomited with a little bit of blood in it. I'm very worried!Doctor's answer:
Bronchopneumonia is one of the main common diseases in infants and young children. It can occur in all four seasons of the year, with the highest incidence during winter and spring or when the climate changes rapidly. It severely interferes with the health of infants and young children and can even harm their bodies. The onset is abrupt, with irregular fever, cough, and initially mild coughing, followed by phlegm, increased respiratory rate, shortness of breath, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and dry cough. In more severe cases, symptoms such as high fever that does not subside, bluish lips, and purplish lips may appear.
