Treatment of bronchopneumonia in children

We all know that children are very likely to develop bronchitis after catching a cold, especially when they are very young. The chance of contracting this disease is very high. In addition, in spring, children are also more likely to develop bronchitis. When children have bronchitis, they will feel very uncomfortable and uncomfortable breathing. At this time, we carefully observe the symptoms of the children and find that the children are breathing very quickly. So what should we do when children have bronchitis?

⑴ The purpose of expectoration is to make the sputum thinner and easier to discharge, otherwise it will easily increase the chance of bacterial infection. However, there are few effective expectorants. In addition to increasing turning over, patting the back, nebulization, and suctioning sputum, you can choose expectorants such as Bisuoping and Tanyijing. Since cough is the most prominent clinical manifestation of Mycoplasma pneumonia, frequent and severe coughing will affect the sleep and rest of children. Sedatives such as chloral hydrate or phenobarbital can be given appropriately, and small doses of codeine can be given to suppress cough as appropriate, but the number of times should not be too many.

⑵ For patients with severe asthma, bronchodilators can be used, such as oral aminophylline, 4-6 mg/kg. once, once every 6 hours; salbutamol inhalation can also be used.

3. Application of antibiotics: According to the microbiological characteristics of MP, antibiotics that can hinder the synthesis of microbial cell walls, such as penicillin, are ineffective against mycoplasma. Therefore, antibiotics that can inhibit protein synthesis should be used to treat MP infection, including macrolides, tetracyclines, chloramphenicol, etc. In addition, there are lincomycin, clindamycin, vancomycin and sulfonamides.

Children should not be given medicine casually if they are too young. If bronchitis is confirmed, they must be hospitalized for treatment because bronchitis is a viral infectious disease that is prone to recurring. 1. Use antibiotics to control infection and prevent further deterioration of the disease. However, it is important to reduce the dosage and choose less irritating drugs for treatment. It is forbidden to use gentamicin, amikacin, streptomycin, etc., because these drugs can cause deafness in children and may also lead to renal failure. 2. Choose drugs such as nebulizer inhalation or 10% ammonium chloride mixture, Bisuoping, and Xiaoer Qiangli Tanling to relieve cough and expectorant. However, care should be taken to avoid overdose and prolonged use, which will affect the physiological activity of cilia and make secretions difficult to discharge. 3. Use drugs such as aminophylline and salbutamol to relieve spasms. However, it should be noted that prednisone and becloracone propionate aerosols should not be used for infants and young children. The use of medication for bronchitis in children must be under the guidance of a doctor. Parents must not give medication to their children at will, so as to avoid the medication causing more harm to the children.

Children will feel uncomfortable sleeping at night after suffering from bronchitis. At this time, it is necessary to improve the disease for the child, let the child sleep on his side to keep the respiratory tract unobstructed, and open the window when sleeping at night. It is best to let the child take the medicine before letting the child go to bed, so that the child will relieve some symptoms. When a child has bronchitis, he needs to take antibiotics, but pay attention to the dosage.
