Patient's question:
The child has been coughing quite severely recently, and despite taking many cough drops and other remedies, it hasn't helped. When the child coughs, they say their throat hurts and they can't cough up phlegm. The doctor at the children's hospital said it's bronchitis in children. What should be done about bronchitis in children?Doctor's answer:
Most cases of pediatric bronchitis are caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections, leading to respiratory inflammation symptoms such as difficulty breathing, fever, cough, and phlegm. It is important to promptly decide on a sensitive antibiotic for the child while also coordinating the use of inhalation to dissolve phlegm. Additionally, measure the child's temperature twice a day, and provide light, soft, and easily digestible foods, avoiding overly sweet or spicy foods.
