Question
The baby has a whistling sound in the throat when breathing out, accompanied by coughing. It has been diagnosed with bronchitis or pneumonia, and there is a fever. How can the baby recover faster?
Answer
Considering the diagnosis of bronchial infection or pneumonia, it is recommended to consult a doctor for auscultation and imaging examinations, such as chest X-rays if necessary. Mild infections can be treated with oral antibiotics. When coughing or having phlegm, you can use fresh bamboo decoction syrup or pediatric Mahan Gan Granules for treatment. In severe cases, it is recommended to undergo intravenous fluid therapy. Additionally, be aware of the possibility of mycoplasma infection; if so, treatments with erythromycin or azithromycin can be considered. I hope these suggestions will help you, and wish the baby a speedy recovery!
