Huasheng**, December 7 (Quan** reporter Li Qi correspondent Hu Shaya Fu Qing) After a few days of fever and cough, 7-year-old Dongdong (pseudonym) in Changsha actually "grew" small branches in his bronchi. Doctors say that when the "twigs" of this sputum plug block the airway, it can cause a large area of the lung to become solid or atelectasis, resulting in partial or full ventilation of the lungs.
A week ago, Luo Dongdong began to have a fever after returning home from school, with a maximum body temperature of 400 , and a slight cough. "At first, I thought that the child just had a cold, and his physical fitness was usually very good, so we fed him ibuprofen several times to reduce fever, but the child's fever was always repeated, and the body temperature could not drop to 38 at night5 or less. Seeing that the child had difficulty breathing, Ms. Li rushed Luo Dongdong to the hospital's pediatric emergency department for treatment.
Liu Lin, deputy chief physician of pediatrics at Changsha Central Hospital (Changsha Central Hospital affiliated to the University of South China), said that through bronchoscopy, doctors found that the bronchial lumen on Luo Dongdong's left side was full of white jelly-like secretions. The doctor immediately suctions and removes a large amount of jelly-like discharge that looks like a "tend." Subsequently, the doctor gave him anti-infection, anti-inflammatory and other symptoms**. At present, Luo Dongdong's body temperature has dropped to normal, his cough has been significantly reduced, and his condition has been effectively relieved soon.
Plastic bronchitis is an extensive bronchial obstruction caused by an endogenous foreign body that occurs after infection with various pathogens in the bronchi. Liu Lin introduced that this situation generally occurs in mycoplasma infection, adenovirus infection and influenza virus infection, which causes a large area of lung solidification or atelectasis after blocking the airway, resulting in partial or full ventilation dysfunction of the lungs.
