Patient's question:
My three-year-old son has recently been diagnosed with bronchitis, and the doctor has prescribed medication for him. Which medication is best for pediatric bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
The child has bronchitis, which can be caused by either bacterial or viral infections, so different types of bronchitis require different medications. If it is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics such as amoxicillin or cefalexin can be used for treatment. If it is caused by a viral infection, oseltamivir can be used. If it is caused by mycoplasma infection, azithromycin can be used. Please follow the doctor's advice for the specific dosage and usage of the medication.
