Patient's question:
Recently, due to changes in the weather, I have been coughing. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I was diagnosed with bronchitis. Hello, do you need to be hospitalized for bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
The severity of bronchitis must first be determined based on blood test results, in addition to chest X-rays to confirm if there are obvious signs of lung inflammation. If symptoms of significant lung inflammation reappear, or if high fever occurs again, hospitalization is necessary to avoid delaying the condition. If the symptoms are not severe at the moment, anti-inflammatory and cough-relieving medications can be taken initially for symptomatic treatment, while closely monitoring the condition before making a conclusion.
