My child has severe bronchitis and pneumonia, with frequent recurring cough. What are the treatment options for pediatric bronchitis and pneumonia?

The treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia in children mainly includes the following aspects: 1. General management: Ensure indoor air circulation, provide nutritious food, frequently change the child's position to reduce pulmonary congestion and promote absorption of inflammation. Maintain isolation to prevent cross-infection, and ensure adequate fluid and electrolyte intake. 2. Medication: - Bacterial infection: Oral antibiotics may be prescribed by a doctor, such as amoxicillin granules or cefixime granules. Note that cefixime granules should only be used in infants older than 6 months. - Viral infection: Antiviral medications such as ribavirin granules or antiviral oral solution may be prescribed. - Cough relief: For children with significant coughing, appropriate cough-suppressant medications may be administered. 3. Other treatments: For children showing clear signs of hypoxia, such as restlessness or cyanosis, oxygen therapy may be provided to relieve symptoms.
