Patient's question:
The baby has been born for just over a month. The doctor conducted a thorough examination and said that the baby has developed bronchitis. When the baby was first born, it caught a slight cold due to catching a cold. I don't know if these two are related. Is bronchitis caused by a cold?Doctor's answer:
The treatment for bronchitis caused by a cold is primarily based on symptoms and prescriptions: If there is severe cough or heavy mucus, cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan can be used appropriately. If cough or mucus is difficult to expel, ambroxol hydrochloride and eucalyptus oil extracts can be used. If the cough persists, codeine or inhaled corticosteroids can be considered to relieve symptoms. It is important to pay attention to protecting the respiratory tract and try to reduce the frequency of going out.
