Patient's question:
Cough, mental state, appetite, deep sleep, normal urination and defecation for two weeks, fever brought back past treatment and effectiveness: urethritis, took anti-inflammatory drugs. What kind of assistance is needed: I want to know if I need to take medicine anymore? What kind of medicine is good?...Doctor's answer:
Your description is a typical case of bronchitis in children caused by a common cold. The cause and treatment are complex. The etiology of bronchitis in children is primarily caused by respiratory syncytial virus, which accounts for 80% or more of cases, followed by adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, influenza virus, and others. In very few cases, it may be caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. After infection with the virus, small capillaries in the airways become inflamed, swollen, and produce excessive mucus. Additionally, purulent epithelial cells slough off, obstructing the airways, leading to significant pulmonary emphysema and atelectasis. The alveolar walls and interstitial spaces are affected, so it can be considered a special type of pneumonia. The inflammation of bronchiolitis primarily occurs in the small airways of the lungs.Medical advice: Personally, I recommend the following treatment: Western medicine treatment includes compound sulfamethoxazole 0.05/kg/day, taken orally in two doses; penicillin 3-5 million U/mg/day, administered intramuscularly in two doses; and midecamycin, erythromycin 30-50 mg/kg/day, taken orally in three to four doses. This method is economical and innovative. I hope my explanation brings you relief, and I wish your baby good health.
