Patient's question:
My relative's son has had particularly poor immunity since birth. He often gets colds and discomfort for no apparent reason. Tonight, he also started sniffling and coughing, and his breathing sounded heavy. My partner quickly took him to a nearby hospital. The doctor said it was bronchitis caused by the cold and discomfort. How should bronchitis caused by a child's cold and discomfort be treated?Doctor's answer:
Children with bronchitis are usually the result of upper respiratory infections progressing, with significant consumption of nutrients. Additionally, fever and toxins from pathogens like bacteria interfere with gastrointestinal function, leading to poor nutrition absorption. Therefore, the lack of nutrition in children with bronchitis should not be ignored.In this case, parents should adopt a small-amount, frequent-meals approach, providing light, nutritious, balanced, and easily digestible semi-liquid or liquid diets, such as congee, well-cooked noodles, egg custard, fresh vegetables, and fruit juices.
