Why didn't the anti-inflammatory medication work for pediatric bronchitis?

Patient's question:

Doctor, I would like to ask about the best treatment methods for pediatric bronchitis. What are the main approaches? This bronchitis in my child has been going on for a year. At first, after the child had a cold, they started experiencing asthma-like symptoms and kept coughing. The child has taken many anti-inflammatory medications, but the results have not been very ideal.

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, if the medication under the guidance of a doctor is not effective, you can communicate with your attending physician to see how further treatment or a change in the treatment plan is needed. If the condition does not improve, it is generally considered that the inflammation may not be controlled or other diseases may be involved. The doctor will provide effective treatment based on the examination results and clinical symptoms. If you are self-medicating, it is recommended to go to the hospital promptly. During treatment, pay attention to rest, drink more water, eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy and irritating foods.
