Patient's question:
Children have been constantly coughing at night recently, with each cough making their faces turn red. Occasionally, they also experience dry coughing, which worries us all. The doctor said the cough is caused by bronchitis.Hello: What should be done about bronchitis?
Doctor's answer:
Most cases of mild bronchitis in babies are caused by colds or catching a chill. Generally, you can take Amoxicillin, Cefuroxime, or Azithromycin, combined with Compound Furacilin Oral Solution and Xiao'er Qingfei Qingfei Oral Liquid. If Amoxicillin doesn't work well, you can switch to Azithromycin to see if it helps. If there is wheezing, it's best to use Pulmicort and Alvesco for inhalation. Mild bronchitis doesn't necessarily require intravenous fluids, but if coughing is severe, a chest X-ray may be needed. Bronchitis is an inflammatory response caused by bacteria, viruses, tuberculosis, and other remote attacks on the urinary tract. Symptoms may include coughing, phlegm production, wheezing, and severe high fever, and it may even lead to heart and lung dysfunction. It is recommended to seek timely treatment. The best course of action is to go to the hospital for detailed care.
