Does bronchopneumonia in children cause wheezing?

Wheezing can occur in children with bronchopneumonia. The main symptoms of bronchopneumonia are fever, cough, sputum with shortness of breath, and in severe cases, shortness of breath. The specific symptoms of bronchopneumonia vary with the age of the child, the pathogenic bacteria that are infected when the child has bronchopneumonia, and the child’s cough, sputum, and shortness of breath may occur due to sputum congestion or allergic reactions such as allergic cough or allergic pneumonia, and when the shortness of breath is severe, the child may also have difficulty breathing if there is sputum congestion. Therefore, when bronchopneumonia is diagnosed, appropriate medications are given to treat the cause of the bronchopneumonia, such as bacteria, virus or mycoplasma. According to the symptoms of cough, sputum and shortness of breath, oral cough medicine or nebulized inhalation treatment should be given. In case of heavy sputum congestion and shortness of breath, aspiration treatment can be given if necessary to relieve shortness of breath and dyspnea in children.
