Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please advise on what to do if the baby has bronchitis, gets IV drips, and has a cough with phlegm?Doctor's answer:
Hello, child. First, there was bronchitis, and now there is still coughing. This is a relatively common condition and is actually post-infection cough. Coughing in infants and young children is a symptom of respiratory infection. Lower respiratory tract infection is lung infection, which requires active anti-inflammatory treatment for about a week to heal. In your case, it might be bronchitis, and anti-infection treatment is the most important part of bronchitis treatment. The treatment of bacterial bronchitis includes empirical treatment and targeted pathogen treatment. Generally, antibiotics are administered intravenously.
