How should acute bronchitis be treated?

Patient's question:

I feel that my breathing is particularly difficult. I went to the emergency department and found that it was acute bronchitis. How is it better to treat acute bronchitis?

Doctor's answer:

Acute bronchitis is essentially acute inflammation of the urethral mucosa, primarily caused by viral or bacterial infections. Therefore, the treatment mainly involves the use of antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs, supplemented by additional symptomatic treatment medications. For example, for cough and phlegm, lung-cleansing and blood-cooling drugs can be used. If shortness of breath occurs, oxygen therapy can be administered, or drugs that dilate the airways can be used, all under the guidance of a doctor and used appropriately.
