Patient's question:
In the seasons of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, I get colds easily. Because my husband and I both teach, he has been taken care of by his grandmother for a long time and rarely goes outdoors. He hardly leaves the house all winter and is quite afraid of cold. This year, he is six years old. Last autumn, he caught a cold which led to bronchitis. He received two rounds of intravenous fluids at the county maternal and child health hospital, which showed significant improvement. There was no longer inflammation, but he has been coughing persistently. The coughing occurs at irregular times, and it worsens when he catches a cold or when the air quality is poor. However, the coughing is not severe—it’s just a few short bursts. When he gets a cold, the coughing intensifies.Doctor's answer:
In your case, it may be bronchitis, and antiviral treatment is the most important part of bronchitis treatment. The treatment of bacterial bronchitis includes empirical treatment and targeted pathogen treatment. Additionally, the choice of antimicrobial drugs and administration routes should be based on the patient's age, presence of underlying diseases, risk of aspiration, whether they are in a general ward or an intensive care unit, length of hospital stay, and the severity of bronchitis.
