Question
Every time my child catches a cold, they cough and it turns out to be bronchitis. What can be done to effectively treat bronchitis? What precautions should be taken? Besides taking medication, are there any other good methods?
Answer
Infants and young children tend to develop coughs after catching a cold, and bronchitis often results from their still-developing immune systems. Oral expectorants and cough suppressants can be taken for treatment, along with oral anti-inflammatory medications for combined therapy. It’s also important to pay attention to nutrition and increase intake of high-protein foods to enhance the body’s constitution. Additionally, it’s crucial to prevent colds and avoid exposure to cold weather.
