Patient's question:
My relative's child has bronchitis, and they are still breastfeeding. They cannot take medicine because they are too young. At first, they were eating breast milk, but in the past two days, they have refused to drink milk. It might be because they are sick and uncomfortable. The child has become thinner, and I want to know what to do if a baby with bronchitis refuses to eat milk?Doctor's answer:
Bronchitis in babies can lead to a decrease in appetite. Pay close attention to observe how the baby frequently spits up milk, how they only have a bowel movement every few days, or experience nausea and vomiting. You can give the baby some probiotics to help regulate their digestive system. Additionally, the most important thing is to provide targeted treatment for the baby's bronchitis based on the symptoms they are showing. It's also necessary to have the baby's lung infection checked locally to ensure additional treatment is administered.
