Bronchitis is one of the most common diseases of the pediatric respiratory system, especially in the winter months. Bronchiolitis is an inflammation of the bronchial mucosa, often with simultaneous bronchial involvement. The disease is often secondary to upper respiratory tract infections and acute infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough.
The onset of bronchiectasis can be acute or slow, with most children starting with symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection and then gradually starting to cough and getting progressively worse. The fever may or may not be consistent, and there is no fixed fever pattern.
If parents find that their child has bronchitis, the cough gradually worsens, and the temperature continues to rise, they should go to the hospital in a timely manner to get a clear picture of pneumonia through auscultation and a chest x-ray. If the inflammation is not controlled in time, the inflammation may spread downward and lead to pneumonia.
When a child has bronchitis, if the fever is not high, there is usually no need to actively lower the temperature, and the child can be allowed to drink more boiled water, which will help to lower the temperature and help to drain the phlegm.
