For a 5-month-old baby, bronchitis is a difficult disease to resist. Due to the young age of the baby, their resistance is naturally relatively weak. Therefore, various reasons may cause the baby to suffer from bronchitis or even asthma. So how long does it take to cure bronchitis and asthma in a May baby?
A 5-month-old baby has bronchopneumonia, and the treatment course takes about 7-10 days. Depending on each baby's constitution and ability to receive medication, some babies can be cured within 5-7 days of treatment. But some babies have weaker constitutions and generally take longer to recover.
If a baby has bronchopneumonia accompanied by asthma, diet is crucial. During the period when the baby is sick, the diet should be light and liquid foods should be the best. Especially during asthma attacks, the demand for water increases, so it is important to pay attention to timely and adequate hydration. If there is insufficient water, it is easier for sputum to become more viscous and difficult to cough up, which can block the respiratory tract and worsen the symptoms of asthma.
Especially during acute asthma attacks, if the respiratory tract is not replenished with water in a timely manner, the child is very prone to dehydration. Therefore, it is necessary to give asthmatic children plenty of water. Children can eat more foods rich in vitamin A, vitamin B, and vitamin C. Because vitamin A can enhance the body's ability to resist diseases and maintain the normal development of the child's body; Vitamin B and vitamin C can promote metabolic function, while also increasing appetite and promoting recovery from illness.
