Patient's question:
Recently, I often feel a scratch in my throat and keep wanting to cough. There's a lot of phlegm, and sometimes I cough so hard that I almost can't breathe. My deep sleep quality at night is also not good. I went to a nearby hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's the symptoms of bronchitis. What are the general causes that lead to bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
The etiology of bronchitis and environmental pollution factors are increasing. Non-circulating environments provide a favorable habitat for the growth and domestication of HDM (House Dust Mites), which also enhance the risk of lower respiratory tract diseases. Bronchitis is a relatively common disease, especially for those who consume a lot of spicy foods, which may lead to bronchitis, causing symptoms such as coughing, sputum production, wheezing, and in some cases, chest tightness and difficulty breathing. It is primarily important to pay attention to diet and avoid consuming excessive spicy foods, particularly avoiding beer. Appropriate use of Guilong Cough and Asthma Relief Capsules can be helpful, along with taking Amoxicillin to aid in anti-inflammatory treatment. During the acute recovery phase, neutrophil infiltration contributes to airway inflammation, involving many inflammatory cells, inflammatory mediators, cytokines, and other substances.
