Question
How to Treat Pediatric Bronchitis?
Answer
It is recommended to perform sputum culture and drug sensitivity tests for pediatric bronchitis to guide the use of antibiotics. Parents should pay attention to strengthening care, ensuring the child’s rest, nutrition, and fluid intake, keeping the respiratory passages clear, actively controlling infections, and preventing complications. At the same time, symptomatic treatment should be carried out, including sedation, fever reduction, cough suppression, asthma relief, antihistamines, expectorants, oxygen therapy, and correcting electrolyte imbalances. Since the causes of respiratory system diseases in children are diverse, if a child is diagnosed with a respiratory system disease, parents should cooperate with doctors for treatment, including gastrointestinal decompression and cultivating good hygiene habits. Children should have a balanced diet and avoid consuming irritating and cold foods.
