There is no fever, and the cough is not very frequent, but there is phlegm. Is it necessary to receive intravenous treatment?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, your baby's cough has improved, the phlegm has reduced, and if there is no fever, you can focus on the current treatment without the need for intravenous fluids. A 2-month-old child with bronchopneumonia must be treated promptly, and intravenous treatment may be necessary if required. It is recommended to follow the advice of the attending physician. The purpose of intravenous fluids is mainly to add medication, and bronchopneumonia must be cured as early as possible.
