Patient's question:
The child is 2 years old. On January 15th, they started coughing. The doctor initially said it was due to the hazy weather, but by the 22nd, it was diagnosed as pneumonia, and they were hospitalized for 7 days to recover. On February 8th, they started coughing again and received 3 injections. On February 23rd, they started coughing once more and have been receiving injections since then. The day before yesterday, they had stopped coughing and were preparing to stop the treatment, but last night they started coughing again. Yesterday, they received another injection and were told to continue for 3 more days.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 targeted pathogen 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.
