Patient's question:
My little one has been coughing non-stop recently, especially at night, making it impossible to sleep well. They also frequently have fevers. Despite taking many medications, it hasn’t helped. The doctor at the hospital said it’s bronchitis. I’d like to know what general precautions are usually needed for bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, parents should pay attention to respiratory isolation for infants and young children to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Encourage children to drink more water to facilitate the discharge of respiratory secretions. Try to minimize taking children to public places and pay attention to strengthening cold prevention and warmth preservation to avoid relapse due to changes in external weather conditions. In terms of diet, it is advisable to keep it light and avoid overly salty, sweet, or spicy foods. Also, limit the consumption of fish, shrimp, and crabs. The indoor air should be kept fresh.
