Patient's question:
My older daughter caught a cold a week ago. She started feeling feverish while taking a nap in the afternoon. In the middle of the night, I took her to the hospital and gave her fever-reducing medicine. After her fever came down, she began coughing and having difficulty breathing, as if she couldn't catch her breath. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
Currently, the common cold has led to bronchitis, so coughing, difficulty breathing, and shortness of breath have reappeared. It is necessary to go to the hospital for a chest X-ray examination and lung percussion examination. If bronchitis is confirmed, it is more appropriate to use antibiotic medication for treatment, which will help control the disease. It is recommended to receive hospital treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. Daily, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold.
