Doctor's answer:

Bronchitis refers to lower respiratory tract infections with asthma-like symptoms in infants and young children, and is a recurrent allergic disease. It typically occurs in early childhood (under 3 years old) and is often triggered by various allergens (such as pollen, dust, animal dander, mites, bacteria, etc.), as well as changes in weather and emotional distress.
Treatment Recommendations:
1. Clearing the lungs and expelling phlegm: If the phlegm is thick and difficult to cough up, it can be treated with inhalation therapy, along with 10% ammonium chloride mixture, bisolvon, and pediatric strong phlegm expeller (1-2 tablets for 2-4 years old, 2-3 tablets for 5-8 years old). Frequent mild coughing that interferes with deep sleep and rest can be treated with small doses of cough suppressants, such as diphenhydramine and chlorpromazine (0.5-1 mg/kg per dose, 2-3 times daily). It is important to avoid overuse and prolonged use, as this may impair the normal function of cilia and make it difficult to expel secretions.
2. Relaxing spasms and theophylline: 2-4 mg/kg per dose, 3-4 times daily orally. Salbutamol: For children under 6 years old, 1-2 mg per day, divided into 3-4 doses orally, or 0.1 mg/kg per dose. Salbutamol aerosol (0.5%, 1 puff = 0.1 mg) 1-2 puffs per dose, 2-3 times daily. In cases of severe wheezing, prednisone (1 mg/kg per day, divided into 3 doses orally) can be added, with a course of 4-7 days. Proprionate beclomethasone aerosol can also be used, but local medication may increase the side effects of systemic medication. It is not advisable to use this in infants and young children due to difficulty in negotiation. For children, 1-2 puffs (50 μg-100 μg per puff) per dose, 2-4 times daily.
(III) Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment
1. Cough relief and wheezing relief: During the period, many traditional Chinese medicine preparations for cough relief and wheezing relief can be used, which can also alleviate symptoms to some extent.
2. Externalmedication: Many infants and young children suffer from long-term medication, which can lead to various side effects. Externalmedication with traditional Chinese medicine is a safe and convenient alternative. Currently, the most commonly used include phlegm-expelling and expectorant Baicaoqiong Jitai and Jiujiu for winter use.
