What about bronchitis and cough?

When bronchitis coughs, drugs that can eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, relieve spasm and asthma, and control infection can be used for symptomatic treatment.

1. Eliminating phlegm and relieving cough

If the patient only has cough symptoms and less sputum, drugs such as dextromethorphan and pentoverine can be used to relieve cough. If there is too much phlegm, we should use ammonium chloride mixture, bromhexine hydrochloride, ambroxol, strong dilute mucin and other drugs to relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Pay attention to drink plenty of water, which can also dilute sputum, which is beneficial to the discharge of sputum.

2. Relieve spasms and asthma

Patients with bronchitis can also be treated with antispasmodic and antiasthmatic drugs when coughing, such as taking aminophylline and terbutaline orally and inhaling salbutamol spray to relieve bronchospasm and relieve cough symptoms.

Control infection

When the patient coughs, if there are symptoms such as pus and phlegm, fever, etc., it means that there are anti-infection indications. The commonly used drugs in clinic are penicillin, erythromycin, levofloxacin, cefixime, clarithromycin, azithromycin and so on. If necessary, they can also do drug sensitivity tests and choose appropriate antibiotics for treatment. Because of individual differences, each patient's medication is different, so medication must be carried out under the guidance of a doctor.
