How is asthma-like bronchitis in children treated?

Patient's question:

Recently, I've been experiencing chest pain and tightness in my chest. The hospital examination suggested a respiratory disease, but the medication hasn't been very effective. Recently, my cough has worsened. How should pediatric asthmatic bronchitis be treated?

Doctor's answer:

Childhood asthmatic bronchitis, a common cause is catching a cold, weather changes leading to acute respiratory reactions in children. Common symptoms include cough, sputum production, wheezing, shortness of breath, and difficulty breathing. Triggers include bacterial, viral, and mycoplasma infections. I recommend you visit the respiratory department for some relevant tests, such as blood tests, mycoplasma tests, chest X-rays, lung function tests, etc., to identify the cause and then provide symptomatic treatment.
