What Causes Wheezing And Coughing After Medication For Bronchitis?

My 2 month old has bronchitis and we were given arithromycn (sp?) yesterday, he has had a double dose and 1 single dose so far, but still wheezing and coughing lots. Also very sleepy. Is this something to be concerned about, should we take him back in?

Hello,

Yes, definitely needs attention if wheezing present. It lower respiratory tract infection requires nebulization, oxygen support sometimes.

If the baby is sleepy, accepting less feeding, passing less urine, these are alarming sign suggestive of the need of hospitalization.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
