Question
Can pediatric bronchitis be cured?
Answer
Pediatric bronchitis is a common disease in children, with symptoms typically starting with mild coughing and runny nose, which may later progress to thicker respiratory sounds or wheezing with the presence of sputum. This condition is often caused by bacterial, viral, or mycoplasma infections. Treatment usually involves antibiotics such as penicillin, cephalosporins, and erythromycin. If there is a lot of sputum, expectorants can also be used.
