Introduction
Unexplained shortness of breath: If it is an upper respiratory tract infection, amoxicillin capsules, cefradine capsules, or ampicillin capsules may be used as directed by a physician. If it is pneumonia, dextromethorphan hydrobromide tablets, ambroxol hydrochloride dispersible tablets, or ambroxol and clenbuterol hydrochloride oral solution may be used. If it is pneumothorax, cefuroxime axetil tablets, cephalexin capsules, or cefradine capsules may be used.
The management of unexplained shortness of breath depends on the underlying cause. Common causes include upper respiratory tract infections, pneumonia, pneumothorax, etc.
1. Upper respiratory tract infection: If caused by an upper respiratory tract infection, antibiotics may be used as directed by a physician. Commonly used medications include Amoxicillin Capsules, Cefradine Capsules, and Ampicillin Capsules, which help combat the infection.
2. Pneumonia: If caused by pneumonia, patients often experience coughing and may take antitussive medications as advised by a doctor, such as Dextromethorphan Hydrobromide Tablets, Ambroxol Hydrochloride Dispersible Tablets, or Ambroxol and Clenbuterol Hydrochloride Oral Solution.
3. Pneumothorax: If caused by pneumothorax, cephalosporin antibiotics may be used under medical guidance, such as Cefuroxime Axetil Tablets, Cephalexin Capsules, or Cefradine Capsules, which can help reduce inflammation.
Besides the above-mentioned conditions, lung cancer could also be a possible cause. It is recommended to treat based on the specific diagnosis.
