Question
The child has severe bronchitis and is in constant crying and fussing. The examination has been ineffective. What treatment should be taken?
Answer
The first step in treating bronchitis is to control the inflammation, taking symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication for about 5 to 7 days. Although the inflammation may have been eliminated, coughing may persist for some time, and cough syrup can be used to alleviate it. In addition, attention should be paid to a light diet and consuming more lung-nourishing foods. Parents should also ensure a balanced diet for their child and avoid picky eating.
