Introduction
Allergic rhinitis and bronchitis are two distinct conditions. Patients with allergic rhinitis should take medications as prescribed by their doctor, such as ebastine tablets, loratadine tablets, montelukast sodium chewable tablets, cetirizine hydrochloride tablets, and chlorpheniramine maleate tablets. Patients with bronchitis may take medications such as amoxicillin capsules, cefalexin capsules, ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution, bromhexine hydrochloride tablets, and salbutamol sulfate tablets.

I. Allergic Rhinitis
1. Ebastine Tablets
The active ingredient is ebastine, classified as an H1 receptor antagonist. After administration, it helps reduce nasal mucosal inflammatory responses and alleviates allergy symptoms such as nasal congestion and runny nose caused by histamine.
2. Loratadine Tablets
This medication is a selective peripheral H1 receptor antagonist, clinically used to relieve various symptoms of allergic reactions, including allergic rhinitis, and effectively reduces symptoms such as nasal itching and sneezing.
3. Montelukast Sodium Chewable Tablets
Belonging to the leukotriene receptor antagonists, this drug blocks leukotriene receptors after intake, thereby reducing allergy symptoms such as wheezing, coughing, and nasal congestion.
4. Cetirizine Hydrochloride Tablets
A selective histamine H1 receptor antagonist that inhibits histamine activity and has mild sedative effects. It is commonly used in treating seasonal or perennial allergic rhinitis.
5. Chlorpheniramine Maleate Tablets
An antihistamine with long-lasting effects. After administration, it reduces capillary permeability and alleviates allergic symptoms.
II. Bronchitis
1. Amoxicillin Capsules
A penicillin-class antibiotic with strong antibacterial activity. After intake, it inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, exerting bactericidal effects and promoting resolution of inflammation.
2. Cefalexin Capsules
A cephalosporin-class antibiotic with broad-spectrum antibacterial activity. It can eliminate bacteria resistant to other antibiotics such as amoxicillin, thus achieving anti-inflammatory effects.
3. Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Solution
A mucolytic agent that helps thin mucus, promotes secretion of pulmonary surfactants, increases bronchial ciliary movement, and facilitates expectoration.
4. Bromhexine Hydrochloride Tablets
Also a mucolytic agent, this drug acts directly on bronchial glands to reduce mucus viscosity, making sputum thinner and easier to expel.
5. Salbutamol Sulfate Tablets
A selective β2-adrenergic receptor agonist with potent bronchodilatory effects. After administration, it relaxes bronchial smooth muscles, relieves bronchospasm, and alleviates breathing difficulties.
Patients with allergic rhinitis or bronchitis are advised to seek timely medical evaluation at a hospital and take medications under professional medical guidance to avoid improper use of drugs, which could hinder recovery.
