Question

A 40-day-old infant was diagnosed with tracheobronchitis and bronchiolitis, accompanied by neutropenia and myocardial damage, and was hospitalized for 10 days. After discharge, coughing and nasal congestion appeared again in the following 10 days.

Answer

Newborns, due to their weaker resistance, are prone to infections caused by low immunity and incomplete lung development, such as prematurity or infection. They should be treated promptly at a hospital. In severe cases, bacterial or viral infections can also lead to myocardial damage, such as coxsackievirus myocarditis. It is recommended to take medication promptly and have regular follow-up appointments. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
