Patient's question:
My child has been experiencing frequent nose coughs lately, where they struggle to catch their breath. Even after taking medicine, it hasn't improved. The doctor said they have bronchitis, and I feel so heartbroken for my child. I want to get them treated quickly. Could you please tell me how to treat pediatric bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Children's bronchitis refers to the recurrence of inflammation in the urethra. There is a distinction between acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Acute bronchitis often occurs in infants and young children, manifesting as a clinical symptom of a series of upper respiratory infections such as colds, whooping cough, typhoid, and so on. It can be treated with Fuzheng Beipo sugar, 5 mg each time, twice a day. Alternatively, you can take Yangyin Qingfei ointment, 5-10 ml each time, twice a day. For patients under 18 years old, the dosage can be adjusted accordingly. This type of pediatric bronchitis involves varying degrees of body fluid loss, so it is important to pay attention to giving the child more fluids. You can also use rice soup and egg soup. The diet should primarily consist of semi-liquid foods to enhance body fluid intake.
