Question
For children with cough-asthma type bronchitis, the administration of azithromycin and Pulileke has been ineffective, and there are still asthma and cough symptoms. How can one recover quickly?
Answer
For cough-asthma type bronchitis, the following treatment methods can be adopted:
- For mild symptoms, intravenous injection of aminophylline can be administered, along with oral or nebulized inhalation of salbutamol.
- If the aforementioned treatment is ineffective, consider intravenous injection of dexamethasone, or nebulized inhalation using dexamethasone and chymotrypsin.
- For patients with heart failure or pulmonary hypertension, intravenous injection of phenylephrine or dobutamine can be given, or nitroglycerin can be used.
- If the above treatments are still ineffective, consider intravenous injection of magnesium sulfate, which usually yields good results, especially for patients with concurrent coronary heart disease and heart failure. Please note that these treatment methods should be determined based on the doctor’s professional judgment and the specific condition of the patient.
