How to treat allergic bronchitis in children

Patient's question:

Gender: Male
Age:
Main symptoms: Cough, phlegm that cannot be coughed up, night sweats, night terrors
Onset time: Over 20 days
Laboratory test results: The doctor said it was allergic bronchitis

Doctor's answer:

(1) Control infection: Antibiotics should be selected based on the main pathogenic bacteria, severity of infection, or according to the results of pathogen drug sensitivity. Mild cases can be treated orally, while more severe patients may receive intramuscular injections or intravenous drip of antibiotics. Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin G, erythromycin, aminoglycosides, quinolones, and cephalosporins.
(2) Mucolytic and cough suppression: During the acute phase of the illness, mucolytic agents and cough suppressants should be used in conjunction with anti-infection treatment to alleviate symptoms.
(3) Spasm relief and bronchodilation: Aminophylline and terbutaline are often administered orally, or inhaled agents such as salbutamol may be used. If airway obstruction persists after bronchodilator use, corticosteroids like prednisone (20–40 mg/day) can be administered.
(4) Aerosol therapy: Inhalation of aerosolized moisture or the addition of compound benzoin tincture can help thin respiratory secretions, facilitating expectoration.
