Patient's question:
The son has severe coughing in the morning and before bedtime. He also coughs during the day. Today, he went to the hospital, and the doctor listened and said there was inflammation in the trachea, with wheezing in the cough. The doctor prescribed azithromycin dispersible tablets, aminophylline, and phenylephrine. I don't really like giving my child anti-inflammatory medication. Is there traditional Chinese medicine treatment for tracheitis? Currently, I am giving my child antiviral oral liquid and anti-phlegm cough syrup. Is this effective?》Doctor's answer:
Bronchitis is characterized by symptoms such as cough, phlegm production, and wheezing. The causes are often due to external pathogens like wind-heat or wind-cold. Treatment medications include Amoxicillin, Bromhexine Hydrochloride Oral Solution, and Levofloxacin, among others. Ribavirin Granules are antiviral drugs. Blood tests can be conducted for children, and if there is no viral infection, this medication may not be necessary. In severe cases, intravenous fluid treatment is recommended. It is also important to be vigilant about Mycoplasma infection. If Mycoplasma infection is detected, intravenous Erythromycin Injection or oral Azithromycin Granules should be used.
