Patient's question:
My son is only one and a half months old. Today, for some reason, he has a cough, but he doesn't have a fever. When he coughs, his lips turn blue, but they are normal when he isn't coughing. The doctor checked and said he has mild right lung bronchitis and prescribed Relin. What I want to ask is:1. Does Relin require a skin test?
2. Is the above condition bronchitis?
3. Do you have any other good methods to deal with this situation? What kind of medicine should be used? Thank you, please answer me. I will be grateful to you for a lifetime. Please, please, please.
Doctor's answer:
Hello:The main consideration is the possibility of cough-variant asthma. It is recommended that you go to the hospital promptly for a chest CT scan, pulmonary function tests, and a bronchial provocation test to confirm the diagnosis and receive appropriate treatment.
1. It is best to undergo a skin test.
2. This is a possibility, but I haven’t seen the child, so I can’t be certain.
3. For treatment, the primary approach is still anti-inflammatory therapy using antibiotics. You can follow the advice of the clinical doctor.
