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. Could you please tell me what the symptoms and treatment for acute bronchitis are like?Doctor's answer:
If it's acute bronchitis, the main clinical manifestations are difficulty breathing, cough, and coughing up phlegm, among other symptoms. Some patients may also experience fever. The primary treatment for this condition is antiviral treatment, and we also need to use many lung-cleansing and blood-cooling medications. If the patient has low-grade fever, we should implement fever-reducing treatment. It's essential to quit smoking and drinking, maintain a light diet, actively participate in physical exercise, regulate physical and mental health, and keep personal hygiene.
