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 went down, she began coughing and having difficulty breathing, as if she couldn't catch her breath. What should she do now?Doctor's answer:
Now, it is mainly the common cold that has led to bronchitis, so coughing, shortness of breath, and wheezing have reappeared. Therefore, 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 be hospitalized for treatment to prevent the condition from worsening. In daily life, it is important to pay attention to preventing colds and avoiding exposure to cold.
