Answer
The baby has been coughing for a week without improvement, and the doctor has diagnosed it as bronchitis. The blood test shows elevated white blood cells, suggesting a bacterial infection. It is recommended to follow the doctor’s prescribed medication, using symptomatic anti-inflammatory and lung-clearing drugs. Pay attention to keeping warm, preventing catching a cold, avoiding spicy and irritating foods, and ensure the child drinks plenty of water. In daily life, always pay close attention to the child’s symptoms, and seek medical attention promptly if they worsen.
