Question
The child started to have a high fever due to bronchitis and was hospitalized for a week from the 19th. After returning home, the child still needs to take medication. There was a nasal congestion before hospitalization, but it was not severe, mainly occurring in the morning. Additionally, the child has been experiencing diarrhea with green, watery stools. During this period, the child has been taking Mamipai. However, when visiting the hospital two days ago, the doctor prescribed Aitang, but after taking it for three days, the situation seems to have worsened. The child makes a snoring sound while sleeping at night and no mucus is being discharged, which is very concerning.
Answer
Based on your description, the child may not have fully recovered from the bronchitis. Typically, bronchitis leads to increased respiratory secretions, which can cause difficulty breathing and snoring. However, the child should not be making snoring sounds, which may indicate other issues. It is recommended that you take another chest X-ray to confirm if there is inflammation in the lungs or airways. Moreover, since the child has frequent diarrhea with watery stools, dehydration may occur, and fluid replacement therapy is suggested.
