Suggest treatment for bronchitis
Patient: A friend of mine has a 3 year old son that was running a fever of 105 and vomiting yesterday. She took him to the ER and they sent him home with a diagnosis of Bronchitis. His current temp is 92 with cold sweats. He will not eat or drink and he can't stay awake. What could be causing his temp. to be so low? Doctor: Hi thanks for contacting HCM.Noted he had runny nose and fever with diagnosis of bronchitis...Here treatment is done symptomatically.His temperature is slowing down so he is in recovering phase...So no need for worry...As he has frequent sweating mostly it is viral infection ...For vomiting ondensetrone containing syrup can be given...Apply cold sponging whenever fever...Paracetamol can given for high fever.....If congestive symptoms more then levocetrizine might needed to relieve congestion and inflammation...If still condition increasing then respiratory examination done by physician for further work up..Hope your concern solved....Take care...Dr.Parth Goswami
