How to treat tracheitis in children

Bronchitis is divided into acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis. Although most of the patients with this disease are middle-aged and elderly people, some children are infected with bronchitis just after they are born. Bronchitis is generally caused by the patient's frequent coughing, and it is also related to our own immunity. So how should children with bronchitis be treated?

How does bronchitis develop in children?

1. Infection by bacteria

Infection is an important factor causing chronic bronchitis. If children have poor physical fitness, they will have poor disease resistance and be susceptible to viral infection and invasion.

Therefore, the respiratory tract is often infected. If not treated in time, the disease will recur and worsen. Viral and bacterial infections are one of the main causes.

2. Children are invaded by external evils

If the baby has a poor constitution or is not carefully treated, it is easy for external pathogens to invade and cause illness. If children are affected by wind evil entering their bodies, they will develop illness and damage the health of their lungs, which are primarily respiratory organs.

If the lungs are invaded by external evil and compressed, it will cause coughing. In addition, after catching a cold, the baby will have symptoms of nasal congestion, dry nose, dry cough, dry throat and burning lips.

3. Children with Qi and blood deficiency

If a child has congenital deficiencies, which manifest as physical weakness, if the exogenous cough cannot be cured for a long time, it may develop into a cough, resulting in lung yin depletion or lung and spleen qi deficiency.

What to do with bronchitis in children?

1. Keep warm

Temperature changes, especially cold stimulation can reduce the local resistance of the bronchial mucosa and aggravate bronchitis. Therefore, parents should add or remove clothes for their children in time as the temperature changes, especially cover the children with quilts when sleeping to keep the body temperature at around 36.5℃.

2. Feed more water

Children with bronchitis have varying degrees of fever and a large amount of water evaporation, so you should pay attention to feeding the children more water. It can be supplemented with sugar water or sugar and salt water, or with rice soup or egg soup. The diet is mainly semi-liquid to increase the water content in the body and meet the body's needs.

3. Reduce fever

Children usually have a low to moderate fever when bronchitis attacks. If the body temperature is below 38.5℃, there is generally no need to give antipyretics. Treatment should focus on the cause of the disease to solve the problem fundamentally.

If the body temperature is high, older children can be cooled physically, such as by applying a cold towel to the head or bathing with warm water. However, this method is not suitable for young children. If necessary, they should follow the doctor's advice and use medication to reduce the temperature.
