Question

How do I treat my child who has bronchitis? Condition Description: Coughing Previous Treatment and Effectiveness: I had my child receive more than ten days of intravenous drip treatment in our county city, but there was no effect at all. The medications used included penicillin, ceftriaxone, and asarone brain, among others. We also changed several medications, but there was still no effect. Yesterday, I went to Qilu Hospital for a check-up, and the blood test showed slightly elevated levels, and the myocardial enzymes were slightly elevated. It was not a mycoplasma infection. The X-ray examination results (thorax symmetry, mediastinal trachea centered, many textures, heart and diaphragm without abnormalities) and globulin levels were normal. The doctor at Qilu Hospital prescribed some medications for me, including Serevent, Ambenidine, and Eitanjing. What kind of help do I need: Doctor, how should I change the treatment for my child?

Answer

Pediatric chronic bronchitis is not caused by a single factor but may be related to various factors such as low immune function, bronchial foreign bodies, congenital bronchial and lung development abnormalities. When encountering children suspected of having chronic bronchitis, one should consider the above common factors, combine immune function tests, chest X-rays, to clarify the cause, and avoid diagnosing chronic bronchitis in a general way and blindly treating with antibiotics.
