Should children with acute bronchitis and fever need to go to the hospital after several days?

Patient's question:

My baby is 3 years old this year and has bronchitis. He had a fever last week and it has been 4 days now. I would like to consult. How many days does acute bronchitis with fever usually last? My son has had a fever for 4 days. What's going on? Do I need to go to the hospital for a detailed check-up?

Doctor's answer:

Children with acute bronchitis and fever for several days vary in condition, as each child's constitution and the severity of the illness differ, leading to different clinical presentations. It is recommended to take the child to a large hospital's pediatric department for follow-up, improve relevant tests, and use intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment. Commonly considered medications include cephalosporins or penicillin. Drink plenty of warm water, maintain a light diet, and supplement with vitamins.
