Symptoms and Treatment of Chronic Bronchitis

Symptoms of chronic bronchitis: 1. Cough: Long-term and recurrent cough is the most common symptom of chronic bronchitis. 2. Sputum production: Cough is often accompanied by abundant sputum, usually white mucus or serous frothy sputum, especially in the morning. 3. Dyspnea: Due to airway narrowing and obstruction, the ability of air to pass through the airways decreases, leading to difficulty in breathing. 4. Wheezing: Some patients may experience bronchospasm, causing wheezing, especially after physical exertion. Treatment methods: Select antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, roxithromycin, amoxicillin, etc., according to the main causative bacteria and severity of infection; use expectorants such as ambroxol hydrochloride and compound licorice mixture to help expel sputum and reduce coughing; for patients with wheezing, use medications such as aminophylline and terbutaline sulfate for antispasmodic and anti-asthmatic treatment.
