Patient's question:
I am an adult and have bronchitis. I tend to relapse easily whenever I catch a cold, and when it does, it becomes very difficult to breathe. It has been three days since the onset of the illness. Is it necessary to receive intravenous treatment for this condition?Doctor's answer:
During the treatment process, if possible, it is best to avoid taking medication. If medication is necessary, it is preferable not to receive intravenous fluids. Therefore, the choice should be based on individual circumstances. If the infection is particularly severe and affects normal breathing, it may be decided to use intravenous fluids for treatment, as this can be more effective. During this period, it is also important to pay attention to a light diet to prevent irritation, as this could worsen the condition. At the same time, rest should be taken more frequently.
