How should children with bronchitis be 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 I treat bronchitis in children?

Doctor's answer:

Children experiencing bronchitis again must undergo thorough examination to determine if they have seasonal bronchitis or an allergic constitution. If they have an allergic constitution, they are prone to developing allergic asthma. For such conditions, it is essential to lower their immunity and prevent colds. Regular exercise, a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, and consuming light foods are also necessary. If acute infection occurs again, sensitive antibiotics can be prescribed. To prevent recurrence, Montelukast sodium can be used.
