Question
How should children with bronchitis be treated?
- Persistent cough with phlegm lasting for more than a month, with symptoms also occurring at night.
- Poor appetite after the illness, with no other discomfort.
Answer
Generally, seeking traditional Chinese medicine treatment for bronchitis can be considered, as herbal formulas like Xiao Qing Long Decoction and Ma Xing Shang Gan Decoction have unique benefits. Traditional Chinese patent medicines such as Tong Xuan Li Fei Pill and Bronchitis Pill are also viable treatment options. There are many causes of respiratory diseases in children, so if a child is diagnosed with a pediatric respiratory disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, gastrointestinal decompression, and the development of good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
