Question
Neonatal bronchitis with excessive phlegm, X-ray shows increased lung textures.
Answer
Based on the chest X-ray, thickening and blurring of lung textures may indicate acute bronchitis or pneumonia. If there are patchy blurs on the chest X-ray, it may be accompanied by pneumonia. These symptoms are often accompanied by recurrent coughing, fever, and a hoarse throat. Since infants have weak expectoration ability, phlegm tends to accumulate in the bronchi or lungs, leading to repeated infections. It is recommended to pat the back frequently and seek local pediatric care for nebulization or intravenous treatment to help loosen mucus.
