Answer

  1. Control Infection: Choose antibiotics based on the primary pathogen and the severity of the infection. For mild cases, take orally; for severe cases, administer intramuscularly or intravenously. Common antibiotics include Penicillin G, Erythromycin, aminoglycosides, quinolones, and cephalosporins.
  2. Remove Phlegm, Suppress Cough: During the acute attack phase, use expectorants and cough suppressants in conjunction with anti-infection treatment to improve symptoms.
  3. Relax Spasm, Alleviate Wheezing: Commonly used drugs include aminophylline, terbutaline taken orally, or salbutamol inhaled. If there is still persistent obstruction after using bronchodilators, consider using corticosteroids such as Prednisone 20-40mg/day.
  4. Nebulizer Therapy: Nebulizer humidification inhalation or adding Compound Benzoin Tincture can help dilute bronchial secretions and promote expectoration.
