How to deal with a 8-month-old baby's cough, frequent urination, and shortness of breath?

Patient's question:

8-month-old baby has a cough, bronchitis, and always wheezes. Medication doesn't seem to help. IV drip for over 10 days has been ineffective. Medication has been taken, and even aerosol therapy has been done, but the results are not very good. It still wheezes severely when waking up in the morning, and wheezes when slightly agitated or excited. What could be the reason? Why is this happening? How can it be relieved and treated?

Doctor's answer:

The symptoms you described should have your baby tested for allergens to see what they are allergic to, and then avoid allergenic factors. When your baby is wheezing, you can take antiviral medication or undergo nebulization treatment to relieve wheezing, preventing them from crying and engaging in strenuous exercise. Especially, asthma treatment must be planned. It is recommended to visit a pediatrician, preferably at a large hospital, for standardized treatment. Pay attention to the air quality in the environment where your baby is.
