Does a child with a cough, phlegm, and shortness of breath need to do a nebulizer?

Patient's question:

I've been feeling quite tired lately, and my body feels unhealthy. Could this be because of this illness? Please ask: Is it necessary to use a nebulizer for children's cough with phlegm and shortness of breath?

Doctor's answer:

After recovery, there may be no need to continue with. The child has been diagnosed with asthmatic bronchitis and has undergone treatment with antibiotics and inhalation. If the chest X-ray shows no abnormalities and lung percussion and respiratory sounds are normal, there may be no need to continue with. Then, the patient needs to maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, and regulate physical and mental health. In daily life, it is important to maintain a positive mood, eat more light, soft, and liquid foods, drink plenty of water, and consume more vegetables and fruits.
