Patient's question:
The baby just turned 15 days old today. A few days ago, it had a slight cough, but in the last two days, the coughing has become quite severe. It's not a constant cough, but when it does cough, it's like it can't catch its breath, which is quite frightening. There's no fever.Doctor's answer:
Hello, your child's condition may be caused by bronchitis. It is suggested that the room should be clean, quiet, with sufficient light and ventilation. However, avoid direct draft blowing towards the child. When the child has a high fever and is lying in bed, it is necessary to change their position frequently so that respiratory secretions can be easily expelled. Coughing can often be treated with cough suppressants, but avoid over-suppressing secretory cough.
