Patient's question:
The baby will bite the nipple while breastfeeding in the postpartum period. After 40 days, they will sleep all day with reduced milk intake. Around the 60th day, they had two days of continuous yawning. Later, when taken to the hospital, the doctor said it was a cold. Subsequently, they showed signs of wanting to eat but unable to, appearing as if their stomach was always in pain. Their legs were always stretched straight, and when held upright, their head would always tilt backward. At around the 70th day, a chest X-ray at the hospital revealed bronchopneumonia.Doctor's answer:
Hello: The baby's condition is considered to be caused by acute bronchitis leading to coughing. Currently, there is a lot of phlegm. The baby is also quite young. If the effect of taking expectorant and cough-relieving medication is not good, you can use a nebulizer to help with the treatment. It is important to focus on intravenous fluids for a few days. Bronchitis usually requires 5-7 days of intravenous fluids. Cephalosporin drugs can be used for intravenous treatment. You can also take lung-cleansing syrup and other medications to help expel phlegm and relieve coughing. Feed the baby plenty of warm water to prevent catching a cold.
