Question

How should one handle acute bronchitis in a 5-month-old baby with symptoms including excessive phlegm, cough, hoarseness, and wheezing? The baby is currently receiving intravenous glucose and antibiotic treatment, but there has been no improvement. Should other treatment methods be considered?

Answer

Before considering other treatment options, it is essential to confirm whether the condition is caused by mycoplasma infection or atypical asthma. Try antimycoplasma therapy and anti-allergy treatment. Additionally, it is not ruled out that the baby might have tuberculosis infection or chronic pharyngitis, tonsillitis, or chronic bronchitis. Relevant checks should be conducted. For children with weak resistance, if urinary system issues arise, parents should not over worry and should quickly take the child to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and regularly perform routine checks under the guidance of a doctor to use medication reasonably.
