Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
When children with bronchitis experience coughing with phlegm, parents can take the following measures:
1. **Medication**: According to the doctor's advice, use medications such as ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution and dextromethorphan hydrobromide drops. These medications help relieve coughing and promote the expulsion of phlegm.
2. **Nebulizer Therapy**: Using medications like budesonide suspension and terbutaline sulfate solution for nebulizer inhalation can help thin the phlegm, making it easier to expel and thereby alleviating symptoms.
3. **Intravenous Infusion**: If the condition is severe or the above methods are ineffective, intravenous infusion therapy may be considered, such as ambroxol hydrochloride injection and dextromethorphan hydrobromide injection, to enhance drug absorption and improve symptoms.
4. **Daily Care**: During treatment, parents should ensure the child gets adequate rest, maintain good indoor air circulation, and encourage increased water intake to help alleviate symptoms.
