Question
How is pediatric bronchitis treated with traditional Chinese medicine?
Answer
If a child has this type of bronchitis, various traditional Chinese herbal medicines can be used for adjustment and treatment. The treatment of pediatric bronchitis with traditional Chinese medicine generally divides into two methods: wind-heat cough and wind-cold cough. Wind-heat cough usually presents with yellowish sputum and primarily focuses on acrid, cool, dispersing, and clearing the lungs. Generally, herbs like Sang Ju Yin and Xing Ren are used, each taken 10 grams to boil water and drink twice a day, which is very helpful in treating bronchitis. Both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have certain adverse reactions and side effects, and their clinical diagnostic effects are quite similar.
