How to treat baby bronchitis

Bronchitis is a respiratory disease that everyone is familiar with, and it occurs more frequently nowadays due to environmental problems. Many parents are very worried because many children are troubled by bronchitis, so they want to know how to treat bronchitis in children? This will lead to a better life. Let’s take a look together below.

Infection Control

If acute bronchitis is caused by bacterial infection, the following antibacterial drugs can be used: co-trimoxazole 0.05/kg/day taken orally twice, penicillin 30,000-50,000 U/mg/day taken intramuscularly twice, medetomidine and erythromycin 30-50 mg/kg/day taken orally 3-4 times.

If there is no clear bacterial infection or mixed infection, ribavirin 10-15 mg/kg/day divided into 2 times for intramuscular injection, or 5 mg/kg/day divided into 2 times for nebulized inhalation can be used or added. Interferon a-200,000 U/day for intramuscular injection can also be tried.

Symptomatic treatment

1. Relieve cough and eliminate phlegm: If the phlegm is thick and difficult to suck out, you can use nebulization inhalation and choose 10% ammonium chloride mixture, Bisouping, and Xiaoer Qiangli Tanling (1-2 tablets for 2-4 years old, 2-3 tablets for 5-8 years old). . Frequent dry coughs affect sleep and rest. You can take a small amount of antitussive drugs, such as promethazine and chlorpromazine 0.5-1 mg/kg/time, 2-3 times a day. Care should be taken to avoid overdose and prolonged use, which will affect the physiological activity of cilia and make secretions difficult to discharge.

2. Antispasmodic

Aminophylline: 2-4 mg/kg/time, 3-4 times/day, orally.

Salbutamol: For children under 6 years old, 1-2 mg/day, orally in 3-4 doses or 0.1 mg/kg/time, Salbutamol aerosol (0.5% 1 press = 0.1 mg) 1-2 presses/time, 2-3 times a day.

If the wheezing is severe, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day can be added, taken orally in 3 divided doses, with a course of 4-7 days. Beclosan propionate aerosol can also be used. Local administration can reduce the side effects of systemic medication. It is not suitable for infants and young children who are difficult to cooperate. Children should take 1-2 presses (50μg-100μg) each time, 2-4 times a day.

Chinese medicine treatment

1. Antitussive and antiasthmatic: During the remission period, some antitussive and antiasthmatic Chinese medicine preparations can be used, which can also alleviate the symptoms to a certain extent.

2. External application of medicine: When many infants and young children become ill, long-term medication may cause some drug toxic effects. The safety and convenience of external application of Chinese medicine is also a good solution. Currently, the more commonly used ones include Baicao Qiongjiang Yiqi Patch for removing and removing phlegm and Sanjiu Patch for use in winter.

Massage therapy

Through traditional Chinese medicine massage techniques, children with bronchitis symptoms are given acupoint massage and acupressure to unblock the breath and achieve the therapeutic effect. Currently, the more well-known pediatric massage clinics include Shanghai Kangyao Pediatric Massage, Qingdao Pediatric Massage, and Beijing Yuming Pediatric Massage.

Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment

The superposition of magnetic medicine to regulate immunity is based on the theory of syndrome differentiation and treatment. It is not a single Chinese medicine treatment. According to the physical characteristics and symptom differences of each patient, different acupoints and prescriptions are selected according to the individual and syndrome, and different treatment plans are formulated. It is mainly treated by combining various methods such as acupuncture, cupping, fumigation, and Chinese medicine plasters.

After the above introduction, I believe some parents have a better understanding of how to treat pediatric bronchitis. Parents should be reminded that when their children are sick, it is the parents who need to pay more attention. Parents must maintain a good attitude and insist on using the correct methods. I believe that the child's body will be cured as soon as possible.
