Patient's question:
I often suffer from bronchitis, and now I am pregnant. What should I do about acute bronchitis during pregnancy?Doctor's answer:
If a pregnant woman suffers from acute bronchitis, there is generally no other option but to treat the symptoms accordingly. You can first try taking some traditional Chinese medicine to see if it can alleviate the cough. If the symptoms do not improve after taking traditional Chinese medicine, a chest CT may be necessary in some cases. However, before undergoing a chest CT, it would be advisable to check a complete blood count to see if the inflammatory markers are elevated. If the inflammatory markers are high, you can consider using a small amount of antibiotics first.
