Question
What are the treatment methods for baby bronchitis?
Answer
It is recommended to continue with antibiotic treatment and to adequately supplement fluids. After treatment, a follow-up blood test should be conducted. If discomfort occurs, seek medical attention promptly. Just like our situation, after a routine blood test, the doctor said it was a bacterial infection and bronchitis. After four consecutive days of intravenous drip, the fever subsided, and then we continued with antibiotics, and the condition improved significantly. However, a week later, the baby suddenly had a high fever again. I went to another hospital, and a pediatrician said it was a viral infection and antibiotics were not needed. When the fever reached 38.5 degrees, we gave the baby fever-reducing medication. In one day, we gave him three antiviral drugs and three cold syrups. At the same time, we made sure to keep him well-hydrated. If his stool is hard, we can use some infused water to brew some fructus amomi and give it to him to drink. After the child has several bowel movements that are slightly looser, the fever generally subsides.
