Patient's question:
My child has been coughing non-stop recently, along with fever symptoms. The fever keeps recurring, and despite taking medication, the treatment hasn't been effective. After checking at the hospital, the doctor said it's bronchitis and that hospitalization is necessary. I'd like to ask what precautions should be taken when suffering from 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. If they catch a cold, they must seek medical treatment promptly. After recovery, it is advisable to minimize visits to public places and pay attention to strengthening cold prevention and warmth. Avoid getting sick again due to changes in external weather conditions. Proper cold endurance exercises, such as swimming or cold face washing, can be done, but it is important to progress gradually. In terms of diet, it should be light, avoiding overly salty, sweet, or spicy foods, as well as reducing the intake of fish, shrimp, and crabs. The indoor air should be kept fresh.
