What causes chronic bronchitis in a toddler?
Patient: My 3 year old child has been getting a cough (bronchitis) for the past 5 months. She gets better for a week or two and then goes back to being sick for 2 to 3 weeks. Doctor said is not asthma yet but seems to be cause by allergies. My question is...would Nido milk be one of her allergens? Or any milk maybe causing her allergies to spiked. I know the flowers are allergens since I seen her reaction to the pollen. Doctor: Hello,Are you taking her to any Refreshment park on a regularly basis? Or is she spending most of her time in Lawn (If present at your home)?Yes, Nido milk might be one of the allergens that may cause Recurrent Bronchitis. One need to get an x-ray done, along with it we need to check her ESR(Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), AEC(Absolute Eosinophil Count).Do not give her more of Sweet Content in her Diet. We may need to give some Nebulisation for 3 to 5 days if the Symptoms are severe. Be in Regular follow-up with a Paediatrician.Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.Regards,Dr. Mohammed Abdullah
