Patient's question:
Cough, wheezing bronchitis. White and thin sputum. The treatment and effectiveness since New Year's Eve: IV drips were administered for 7 days without any improvement, then traditional Chinese medicine was also taken. Later, both IV drips and traditional Chinese medicine were stopped. It seemed better for two days, but in the afternoons after 4 PM for the past two days...Doctor's answer:
For asthmatic bronchitis, in addition to using anti-inflammatory and cooling blood drugs, spasm-relieving and anti-asthmatic drugs are also employed. If it is a first recurrence, it may not recur after self-healing. However, if it has recurred repeatedly many times, the possibility of bronchial asthma should be ruled out. Qingkailin and Yinhuang Granules are primarily traditional Chinese medicine for clearing heat and detoxifying, and they can be taken.Advice: Anti-inflammatory drugs such as cefixime can be used, which are quite effective. At the same time, anti-asthmatic treatments can be administered, such as albuterol via inhalation, budesonide, or oral terbutaline. If necessary, bronchial provocation tests, bronchodilator tests, or pulmonary function tests should be performed to determine whether bronchial asthma is present.
