Is it normal for my child to have bronchitis without a fever if they are less than four weeks old?

Patient's question:

My child has been coughing around the house for almost a month. Now the coughing is not as severe, there's no fever, and their spirits are good. Their appetite is also good. Yesterday, they went to a big hospital for a chest X-ray, and the diagnosis was bronchopneumonia. Is it possible to have bronchopneumonia without a fever?

Doctor's answer:

The baby has been coughing for a month, without fever, and is in good spirits. The chest X-ray suggests bronchopneumonia. It can be confirmed that the current condition is due to early mild cough relief. It is recommended to check the blood routine to confirm whether it is bacterial, mycoplasma, or viral bronchopneumonia, and to provide timely symptomatic treatment. Otherwise, if the condition further improves, it is likely to reappear with fever or other discomfort. This is the advice for the question "My child has been coughing for almost a month," and I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
