What should I do if my child has a bacterial infection?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask for some information. My child has a cold, but the test shows it's a bacterial infection. What should we do?

Doctor's answer:

Bacterial infection is one type of respiratory infection. It doesn't necessarily require a shot; pay attention to changes in body temperature and breathing. Additionally, if it is indeed a bacterial infection, it means you have not treated it promptly or taken medication on schedule. Killing bacteria must be thorough and complete. You can't be sporadic in treatment—like fishing for three days and drying clothes for two. Currently, bacterial infections are not as stubborn as this; most are due to improper medication use. It is recommended to have the child drink more water, eat a light diet, and follow the doctor's advice for treatment.
