Patient's question:
My baby coughs badly whenever he catches a cold, and now he's also wheezing. I couldn't go to the hospital for a check-up, but the doctor said it's bronchitis for children. What should I do? It's bronchitis at such a young age.Doctor's answer:
The baby is too young to cough out the phlegm in their lungs, so it takes longer to recover. As you mentioned, if there's frequent fever, you should go to the hospital for an X-ray. The main concern is the risk of developing pneumonia, which would be very troublesome and require immediate hospitalization for treatment. If it's confirmed that it's not pneumonia, you can take medication at home.
