What should I do if my child’s bronchitis cough doesn’t go away?

Bronchitis is usually accompanied by symptoms of coughing. If this disease occurs in a child, parents should lead the child to seek effective treatment. In addition, they should supervise the child to do a good job of home care. Treatment needs to be approached from multiple aspects.

1. Family care for children with bronchitis must be done as follows: 1. Keep warm, keep the body temperature above 36.5 degrees; 2. Feed more water, and mainly eat semi-liquid food to increase the body's water content and meet the body's needs; 3. Sufficient nutrition, the nutrient consumption is large, fever and gastrointestinal absorption, parents should eat small meals frequently, and give light, nutritious, balanced and easily digestible food; 4. Turn over and pat the back, so that the child eats in a semi-recumbent position, which is conducive to the discharge of sputum; 5. Reduce fever, no need to reduce fever below 38.5, high body temperature, older children can use cold towels and other physical cooling; 6. Maintain a good family environment, the child's room should be warm, well ventilated and well lit, and have a certain humidity, and smokers at home should be avoided.

2. For children with cough, cough medicine with expectorant and expectorant effects is suitable. Syrup is better than tablets. Syrup adheres to the pharyngeal mucosa after taking it, which reduces the irritation to the mucosa and can achieve the purpose of antitussive. Do not dilute it with water or take it with water. Children are not suitable for central antitussive drugs such as codeine, Kebiqing, and Kemifen.

3. The principle of treatment for pediatric bronchitis is to use anti-inflammatory drugs to kill pathogens. Select sensitive drugs according to different pathogens, early treatment and sufficient treatment course, and choose the treatment plan according to the condition. It is recommended to take pediatric lung heat cough oral liquid, which is a commonly used auxiliary medicine for pediatric pneumonia and bronchitis in clinical practice. The efficacy is greatly improved. Combined use with azithromycin can reduce antibiotic resistance and shorten the course of treatment. It is also a recommended drug for the consolidation treatment stage of pneumonia and bronchitis. It can effectively prevent and treat influenza, and is also used as a key clinical recommended drug for influenza, bronchitis, and pneumonia.

4. Pat the back. When the baby coughs violently, it is best to hold him up with his upper body at a 45-degree angle, and gently pat his back with your hands to dilute the secretions adhering to the trachea and facilitate coughing.

5. It is very important to maintain air temperature, humidity and cleanliness. The room temperature should be kept at around 20-26℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity at 50%-70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it out. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge.

6. Boil white radish in water: If your child has been coughing for several days and has difficulty falling asleep at night, buy a few white radishes, cut half of the radish into slices every night, and boil them in clean water. After the radish is cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and drink it after it cools down a little. Coughing can be reduced. Drink it for a few days in a row and your cough will be cured.
