Patient's question:
My daughter has acute bronchitis. Recently, she has been coughing repeatedly. Taking anti-inflammatory and cough-suppressant medications provides some relief, but she still gets sick. The problem is that she always gets sick during the course of stopping medication. What should I do about my baby's acute bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Viral acute bronchitis in children, bacterial infection, and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection are relatively more likely. It is necessary to promptly identify the cause in the child. If it is Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection, azithromycin should be involved to resolve it without the need for lung-cleaning, cooling-blood, and anti-inflammatory drugs. Once the cough stops, stabilize for 1-2 days before stopping medication. At the same time, coordinate with budesonide and terbutaline inhalation treatment.
