Question
For children with bronchitis pneumonia, besides traditional nebulization therapy, are there any alternative methods that can more effectively control symptoms? My child is two years old and has been hospitalized for bronchitis pneumonia for four days. Despite undergoing nebulization treatment, they are very resistant each time and require several people to hold them down to complete it. I would like to inquire whether this nebulization treatment is effective? Are there any other methods that can replace it?
Answer
Currently, the treatment for pediatric bronchitis pneumonia focuses on combating infection and symptomatic treatment. If diagnosed with bacterial infection or a viral infection triggering a bacterial infection, it is recommended to use pediatric Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid. This is a commonly used medication for treating pediatric pneumonia and bronchitis, with significant efficacy. When used in conjunction with antibiotics such as Azithromycin, it can reduce antibiotic resistance and extend the treatment course. This is also a commonly used medication during the consolidation phase of pneumonia and bronchitis treatment. For children aged 1 to 3 years, it is recommended to take one dose three times a day; for children aged 4 to 7 years, one dose four times a day; and for children aged 8 to 12 years, two doses three times a day.
