Treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia in children

The treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia in children mainly includes: 1. General management: maintaining a suitable living environment, regularly ventilating the room, ensuring adequate rest for the child, and appropriately changing body positions to facilitate sputum clearance. 2. Medication: selecting appropriate antibiotics, antiviral drugs, etc., based on the type of pathogen. For bacterial infections, amoxicillin granules or cefixime granules may be used; for viral infections, ribavirin granules or antiviral oral solution may be administered. Note that cefixime granules should only be used in infants older than 6 months. 3. Oxygen therapy: if signs of hypoxia are present, oxygen can be delivered via nasal cannula or face mask; severe cases may require mechanical ventilation. 4. Dietary adjustment: providing nutrient-rich, easily digestible foods such as egg custard and milk to enhance the child's immunity.
