How should I deal with a 2-year-old child suffering from bronchitis?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Four days ago, I had a fever. After taking fever-reducing medication, I started coughing two days ago, especially worse when exposed to cold. Previous Treatment and Effect: Currently, I am taking Cefpodoxime Proxetil Granules and Cetylpyridinium Hydrochloride and Ephedrine Sulfate Syrup. Desired Help: I hope to be guided on what medication to take.

Doctor's answer:

If the onset of pediatric bronchitis is not severe, the child does not have a fever, has normal appetite, and only has mild cough, then general cold care can be applied. If the child is listless, coughs severely, or has a fever above 38°C, it is important to seek medical treatment promptly. Medication should be administered as early as possible to avoid delaying the condition. The child can take Western medicine Fushilu Granules and some antibiotics, which are available at pharmacies. Pay attention to a light diet for the child. First, pay attention to the child's temperature, do not dress them too warmly, and allow them to have appropriate cold endurance exercises.
