How to treat bronchitis
Disease description:
I recently developed bronchitis, and my throat is especially sore. I'd like to ask the doctor: how is bronchitis treated?
The treatment of bronchitis mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Medication therapy: Use of cough suppressants, expectorants, anti-spasmodic and anti-asthmatic drugs, and anti-infective agents. Cough suppressants include dextromethorphan tablets and pentoxifylline tablets; expectorants include ambroxol hydrochloride tablets and carbocisteine tablets; anti-spasmodic and anti-asthmatic drugs include salbutamol aerosol and budesonide inhalation powder; anti-infective drugs include amoxicillin capsules and cefixime capsules. Specific medications should be selected according to the patient's condition and based on medical advice.
2. Lifestyle management: Maintain healthy habits, such as avoiding smoking or secondhand smoke, ensuring adequate sleep, eating a nutritious diet, and engaging in moderate physical activity.
3. Physical therapy: Such as oxygen inhalation, use of an incentive spirometer, and oxygen therapy, which can help relieve bronchial spasms and improve airflow obstruction.
4. Preventive measures: Maintain good personal hygiene, eat a balanced diet, and avoid exposure to harmful substances and toxic fumes.
