Patient's question:
My baby has been coughing up phlegm in her throat recently. We gave her a medicine specifically for infant bronchitis, and it worked well. However, after stopping the medication, she got sick again after a while. She's only one year old, and we can't bear to see her in pain. What should we do about infant bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
The occurrence of this illness in children may be related to factors such as their relatively weak immunity and slower recovery ability. If the symptoms are currently quite noticeable, it is best to first undergo a thorough examination at the pediatric department of the hospital. At this point, we can consider the possibility of a respiratory infection, but we cannot diagnose bronchitis. It is necessary to have blood tests and other examinations such as chest X-rays conducted, and then follow the doctor's advice for medication.
