Question

How many days of IV therapy are needed for children with asthmatic bronchitis? The situation is now better, there’s no coughing or fever, but there is still phlegm, which might be caused by a cold.

Answer

Bronchitis is a common respiratory disease in children, occurring throughout the year with a peak during winter and spring. When a child has bronchitis, they often exhibit varying degrees of fever, cough, decreased appetite, and may also have symptoms like vomiting and diarrhea. Younger children might experience wheezing or other signs of bronchiolitis. Parents should follow the doctor’s instructions to administer medication on time and ensure proper home care: first, keep warm; second, provide plenty of fluids; third, ensure a well-balanced diet; fourth, change positions and pat the back; fifth, manage fever; sixth, maintain a good home environment.
