Patient's question:
The baby has been coughing very badly recently. Upon careful examination, it was found that she has bronchitis. How can we relieve the cough from bronchitis?Doctor's answer:
Bronchitis can cause coughing, and generally, oral mucus-expelling and cough-relieving medications can be used for treatment. This helps to promote the discharge of mucus from the trachea, reducing pressure on the lungs. At the same time, it is important to carefully monitor for a potential drop in body temperature. If a fever occurs during hospitalization, oral medications can typically be used to reduce the fever. Additionally, it is important to increase fluid intake, as drinking more water is also beneficial for bronchitis.
