Question
A 13-month-old boy showed symptoms of anorexia and irritability on the morning of the 13th, and by 4 pm, his body temperature had risen to 38.5 degrees. He was immediately taken to the emergency department of the local county-level hospital for treatment. Are these symptoms of acute bronchitis pneumonia?
Answer
Based on your description, your baby should be suffering from acute bronchitis pneumonia. From the photos you provided, it has already been diagnosed as acute bronchitis pneumonia. As for whether it is allergic cough or asthma, these symptoms usually manifest as worsening cough at night, and children often have a history of allergies when they are young. You can take your child to the hospital for an allergen test to determine the cause. If the local hospital is unable to perform this test, it is recommended that you go to a provincial children’s hospital for a follow-up consultation.
