Patient's question:
The child has had poor health since childhood and has been catching colds frequently recently. Subsequently, bronchitis symptoms appeared. After receiving intravenous fluids and medication, the symptoms improved, but they returned soon after. The child is very concerned that this will not get better, with symptoms recurring repeatedly. They are worried that it might develop into asthma.Doctor's answer:
Hello, it is possible. The onset of bronchitis in children can be sudden or gradual. Generally, healthy children rarely develop complications, but in children with malnutrition, low immune function, congenital respiratory tract malformations, chronic nasopharyngitis, rickets, and other conditions, not only are they prone to bronchitis but also prone to complications such as pneumonia, otitis media, laryngitis, and sinusitis. If it does not heal for a long time, it can develop into chronic bronchitis, or even conditions such as asthma and bronchiectasis in children.
