Patient's question:
Recently, my baby has been feeling like something is wrong with him. Every night in the second half of the night, he coughs very badly, but during the day, he coughs very little. The weather has gotten cooler these past two days, and when he sleeps, we can clearly hear sounds coming from his respiratory tract.Doctor's answer:
This child has a severe cough at night, but it improves during the day, which may be caused by bronchitis. Your child may have bronchitis. Children with asthma usually cannot lie down, shrug their shoulders, bend their backs in a seated position, and experience upright breathing difficulties. Sometimes, wheezing sounds can be heard as if they are about to suffocate. Sometimes, thick white liquid is coughed up. The causes of asthma include allergens, non-specific irritants, genetic factors, and many other factors. The treatment of asthma attacks mainly includes oxygen inhalation and bronchodilators. The characteristics of bronchopneumonia are purulent inflammation of lung tissue centered around the bronchioles. It is mainly caused by bacterial and viral infections and can be treated with antibiotics. You can take your child to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and targeted treatment.
