Question
How to deal with cough and phlegm caused by bronchitis in babies?
Answer
If your baby has bronchitis and is still coughing, it’s often due to post-infectious cough, a symptom of respiratory tract infections. In infants, coughing can indicate a lower respiratory tract infection, which may mean lung infection and requires aggressive anti-inflammatory treatment for about a week to recover. For your situation, it may be bronchitis, and anti-infection treatment is the main component of bronchitis treatment. For bacterial bronchitis, treatment includes empirical therapy and targeted treatment against the pathogen. Antibiotics are typically administered via intravenous infusion.
