When a baby has bronchitis, persistent coughing may be caused by several factors: local mucosal congestion and edema caused by inflammation, the accumulation of phlegm that is difficult to expel, allergic reactions triggering symptoms, and bronchospasm leading to narrowed airways. In this situation, parents should take their child to the hospital for diagnosis as soon as possible and follow the doctor’s advice for treatment.
For cough exacerbated by inflammation, the doctor may prescribe medications such as amoxicillin granules to alleviate symptoms; if the issue is due to phlegm accumulation, pediatric cough syrup or ambroxol oral solution can help with phlegm clearance and cough relief; for symptoms aggravated by allergic reactions, antihistamines like loratadine tablets or cetirizine hydrochloride capsules can be effective; cough caused by bronchospasm requires treatment with albuterol sulfate inhalation aerosol or terbutaline sulfate tablets to relieve symptoms.
In daily life, proper dietary management is equally important. It is recommended to primarily consume light foods, avoid spicy and irritating foods, ensure adequate fluid intake, and maintain fresh and circulating indoor air, as these will all help the baby recover more quickly.
