Bronchitis
My son who is currently 2 months 10 days was diagnosed with acute bronchitis. The cold from the lungs was removed and the oxygen saturation is now back to 98 to 100. It was 90 to 95 before. He still has cold. What precautions can I take at home to ensure it does not worsen again. Is an air purifier or cool mist humidifier useful?

Cold can be due to seasonal changes or allergic response. If the child can take breast feeding properly and sleep comfortably, then don't worry about the cold. You can do home remedies like putting eucalyptus oil on his bed or clothes. Cold is not an illness. Visit a Paediatrician if child is coughing too or has fever along with cold.
