What kind of anti-inflammatory medicine should a child with tracheitis take?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop recently. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what kind of anti-inflammatory medicine is suitable for a child with tracheitis?

Doctor's answer:

Bronchitis in children is mostly caused by influenza virus or Streptococcus pneumoniae infection. In other words, anti-inflammatory drugs are only needed when there is a bacterial infection. Children are mostly given oral penicillin-class drugs (such as amoxicillin), erythromycin ethylsuccinate (Rifampicin), and, if necessary, intravenous medication.
Hello, most cases of cold and cough in children are caused by catching a cold or infections in the trachea or lungs. For treatment, you can give children some children's paracetamol and pseudoephedrine granules. Cephalosporin and children's cough syrup are also suitable. It is best to add some heat-clearing and detoxifying medications to treat the cold. Additionally, during treatment, it is advisable to feed them with light and easily digestible foods.
