Patient's question:
My daughter hasn't been to school for a week. She has a severe cough, can't eat, and keeps saying she wants to take a nap. She also mentions a sore throat. The doctor prescribed medication for acute bronchitis, and she has been taking it for a week, but it's not showing any improvement. Hello, how should I deal with acute bronchitis and cough?Doctor's answer:
Children with acute bronchitis are generally advised to use anti-inflammatory drugs and some symptomatic medications such as lung-clearing and blood-cooling drugs for treatment. This may be because the child's physical condition is relatively weak, so the effect after treatment is not very significant. When necessary, it is necessary to take the baby to the pediatric department of the hospital for careful examination and diagnosis, such as blood routine and chest X-ray, and then treat according to the doctor's advice. If the inflammation is significant, the doctor may also recommend intravenous treatment.
