How To Confirm That Bronchitis Is Fully Cured?
My Son is 21 /2 years old and he has been having problem relating to cough. He was last year admitted for Phemonia and this april 2011 for Bronchitis. His chest reports are normal and blood report aswell. But still I fear that in future there may arise some other complications. Can I assume that he is fully cured. Kindly guide

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Bronchits would be associated with coughing which would be productive (bring up sputum). There would also be systemic symptoms indicating he was not well- decreased appetite, decreased activity, fatigue, fever
If he has no symptoms at present then he is well.
It is possible ,since young children do not have a fully developed immune system, that he may have repeat infections but he should be able to recover from this if he is otherwise well.
I hope this helps
