What should I do if my baby has bronchitis and is breathing rapidly?

Patient's question:

Because the child just started kindergarten, it has caused the child to frequently catch colds and fever. Recently, the baby has developed bronchitis with rapid breathing. The doctor suggested that for the child's condition, it would be necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination, or it could be treated with anti-inflammatory medication at home.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, your child's bronchitis has reappeared with shortness of breath. It is necessary to take your child to the hospital for examination, diagnosis, and treatment to prevent the inflammation from spreading further and causing pneumonia. After a thorough examination at the hospital, if the symptoms are not particularly severe, you can follow the doctor's advice to give your child medication at home for treatment. If the condition is severe, it is recommended to give your child intravenous treatment while also coordinating with inhalation treatment.
