2-month-old infant with bronchopneumonia needs hospitalization for treatment?

Patient's question:

1. For about a week, occasional cough with phlegm, more coughing in the past two days
2. Cough a few times while drinking milk
3. Coughing also occurs when waking up at night

Doctor's answer:

In your case, it may be bronchitis, and antiviral treatment is the most important aspect of bronchitis treatment. The treatment of bacterial bronchitis includes empirical treatment and pathogen-specific treatment. Additionally, the choice of antimicrobial drugs and route of administration should be based on the patient's age, presence of underlying diseases, risk of aspiration, whether they are in a general ward or an intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and the severity of bronchitis.
