Patient's question:
A child was admitted to the women's and children's health station for treatment after 18 days of birth due to high jaundice, a bit of runny nose, mild cough, and phlegm. The jaundice improved on the third day of hospitalization. Now, the runny nose has subsided, but there is still phlegm, and sometimes the baby has shortness of breath. On the seventh day, the child was admitted to the neonatal department of People's Hospital, where a lung CT scan indicated bronchitis. The current symptoms are cough and phlegm. I would like to ask the doctor if we can be discharged for home care. I'm worried that giving the baby too many injections might not be good.Doctor's answer:
I'm glad I can help you. Based on the symptoms you described and the child's condition, it is suspected that the child has been infected by the upper respiratory tract. After the condition stabilizes, the child can be discharged and treated at home. You can try a few enemas. Intramuscular injections may affect the child's gluteus maximus muscle. Give the child more water and eat less extremely cold and spicy foods. Wish you a speedy recovery!The above is the advice for the question "A 18-day-old baby has high jaundice and a bit of a runny nose," and I hope it helps you. Wish you good health!
