What should I do if my one and a half year old has bronchitis and has not recovered after taking medicine for a week?

Babies of one and a half years old have relatively poor immunity and are easily affected by the outside world. If they catch a cold or catch a cold, it is often easy to induce bronchitis and lead to pneumonia. If there is no complete improvement after taking medicine for a week, further treatment should be carried out. It is important to understand that bronchitis has an acute exacerbation period and a remission period. In addition to treatment, good conditioning is also important.

Generally speaking, chronic bronchitis develops in different stages: one is the acute exacerbation stage, and the other is the remission stage. Different treatments should be adopted according to different situations.

1. If chronic bronchitis is in the acute exacerbation stage, you should use medication according to the doctor's advice. Generally, you can choose some anti-infective drugs, bronchodilators and expectorants for treatment. Drug treatment can effectively control the infection, relieve the patient's condition, and relieve phlegm and asthma. Specific drugs should be selected according to the condition of the disease, and attention should be paid to whether the patient has a sensitive reaction to some antibiotics.

2. If the patient's condition is in remission, the focus should be on strengthening the physical fitness and improving immunity. Attention should be paid to personal hygiene and conditioning, eating more foods that are beneficial to the respiratory tract, eating less hot and greasy foods, and avoiding crowded and noisy places to avoid reinfection. Patients can receive bronchitis vaccine injections to reduce the incidence of colds or chronic bronchitis.

3. In addition, you can also take Chinese medicine to cooperate with the treatment. There are many prescriptions that can relieve exterior symptoms and dispel cold, warm the yang and strengthen the spleen, and clear the lungs with a pungent and cool flavor. They are beneficial to patients with chronic bronchitis, can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, clear away heat and detoxify, and help with recovery.

If you have symptoms of coughing, many people's first feeling is that you have a cold, but in fact you may also have chronic bronchitis. Many people cannot tell the difference between a common cough and chronic bronchitis, so what are the symptoms of chronic bronchitis?

1. Chronic bronchitis will cause coughing symptoms, which are generally more obvious in the morning and evening and relieved during the day. Many patients have coughing fits before going to bed, and the symptoms occur in spring and winter. The cough will be relieved in summer and autumn. Patients with chronic bronchitis have long-term, recurrent coughs that gradually worsen.

3. Many patients with chronic bronchitis will have symptoms of asthma. This is because after the patient's respiratory tract is infected, the bronchial mucosa will become congested and edematous, and some sputum will block the breath and cause asthma.

4. When the weather is cold or changeable, patients with chronic bronchitis are prone to repeated infections. At this time, some symptoms of asthma, sputum and cough will also be aggravated, and chills and fever may also occur, which requires special attention.
