Acute bronchitis is believed to be familiar to many parents. It is a common upper respiratory disease in children, mainly caused by viral or bacterial infections. The most common symptoms of acute bronchitis are fever, cough, and phlegm. Some mothers want to know what to do if their baby has recurrent fever in acute bronchitis?
When a baby suffers from acute bronchitis, the mother should first take the baby to the hospital for medical examination as soon as possible to identify the pathogen causing the disease, and then provide targeted treatment. If the baby's symptoms are not very serious, only coughing and phlegm, then oral cough suppressants or nebulization inhalation therapy are needed. However, if it is a serious bacterial or mycoplasma infection, antibiotics need to be used for treatment.
If a baby with acute bronchitis has recurrent fever, this situation is quite dangerous. Firstly, it is necessary to give the baby antipyretic medication as soon as possible for antipyretic treatment, and at the same time, give the baby antibiotic treatment to eliminate the inflammation in the baby's body as soon as possible. Only when the inflammation is eliminated can the symptoms of recurrent fever in the baby be relieved. As the baby has recurrent fever, appropriate infusion treatment is also very important to prevent dehydration symptoms.
In addition, mothers can also do some physical cooling for their babies, such as placing ice packs on the baby's head, taking warm water baths, drinking moderate amounts of hot water, etc., to avoid the repeated fever that can affect the brain and brain nerves. Once it causes permanent damage, it will affect the baby's intelligence. During the treatment period, mothers should feed their babies light and easily digestible foods, drink plenty of water, pay attention to rest, maintain room humidity and air circulation, so as to help their babies recover their health.
