Patient's question:
At first, the doctor said it was chronic bronchitis. Later, I went to the hospital and received fluids for several days. At first, it didn't work, but later after changing the medication, it improved. During this time, there was another episode of dry cough, and it was found that milk could not be consumed. Currently, it is being suppressed, but now there has been a recurrence of...Doctor's answer:
If the diagnosis is pediatric bronchitis, the causes and treatment are complex. The primary cause of pediatric bronchitis is respiratory syncytial virus, which accounts for 80% or more; others include adenovirus, parainfluenza virus, rhinovirus, influenza virus, etc. In very few cases, it may be caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. After infection with the virus, small capillaries in the respiratory tract become inflamed, swollen, and produce excessive mucus, while purulent epithelial cells shed and block the airways.After a child develops bronchitis, they should be taken to the hospital for treatment. Since bronchiolitis is caused by a viral infection, early treatment generally does not require antibiotics. However, if secondary bacterial infection is suspected in later stages, antibiotics may be used.
Personal recommendation: Cook 200 grams of Chinese yam, remove the mud, and then roast 250 grams of millet until it is dry and ground into powder. Also, roast 500 grams of almonds (with skins and tips removed) until dry and ground into powder. Each morning, mix 10 grams of millet and almond powder with hot water, add an adequate amount of yam mud, and stir in sesame oil before consuming. This helps boost energy, replenish vitality, warm the center, and moisturize the lungs, making it suitable for children with persistent or recurring coughs. Wishing the baby good health.
