I have a 6 month old and a month ago they said he has bronchitis. he has a inhaler. the next week he ran high fever still coughing and they gave him antibotics. It is going over a month and his cough is still there. His nose is always stuffy and i hear rattling in his chest not weezing. will the cough ever go away? I m doing everything to steam showers,vapor rubs, humidifier,cleaning his nose... He is tired and I m tired
Hello. I just read through your question. This can be very frustrating. The keys are his appetite, his growth, and fever. If he is feeding reasonably well, gaining weight and height at a normal pace, and is without persistent fevers, the symptoms will eventually resolve, and he will be fine. If any of these things are not normal, however, there could be a problem. If that happened, I recommend consulting with a pediatric pulmonologist. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
