Answer
Hello: The baby’s condition may be due to cough caused by acute bronchitis. Now there is more sputum. The baby is quite small. If taking expectorant cough medicine does not work well, you can use nebulization for treatment. It should be given intravenous fluids for several days. Bronchitis usually requires 5-7 days of intravenous fluids. You can use cefalosporin drugs for intravenous treatment. Take medications like lung-clearing syrup to thin and stop coughing. Drink plenty of warm water. Prevent catching a cold.
