Dr. Xie Zixing
For pediatric bronchitis, it is recommended to use cough syrups, ambroxol, and Kechuanling Granules as prescribed by a physician to relieve coughing and expel phlegm. If the condition is severe, antibiotics may be prescribed by a doctor for rapid symptom relief. Additionally, the child’s diet should emphasize light, easily digestible foods such as fruits and vegetables, while avoiding spicy and irritating foods.
