Patient's question:
The baby's health is always not good, and they often catch colds. This year, the baby started attending kindergarten. On the first day, they came home with a slight runny nose (the reason was not covering up during their nap at noon). At first, I didn't pay much attention, but gave them more warm water. However, it got worse day by day, so I took them to the hospital, where they were diagnosed with bronchitis. I want to know what I can do on a daily basis to prevent it from happening again.Doctor's answer:
Hello, child with bronchitis. You should wash your hands frequently, enhance nutrition, get enough sleep, and avoid contact with other sick people. All your preventive measures against illness are beneficial in preventing your baby from getting bronchitis. If you think your child is prone to bronchitis, it doesn't recover easily after getting sick, or has other severe respiratory infections, consider getting the flu vaccine during flu season. However, before vaccination, you must consult a doctor and describe your baby's condition in detail. Of course, no matter how healthy your baby is, keep them away from secondhand smoke.
