How to treat bronchitis?

Treatment of bronchitis is common in the following situations:

1, anti-inflammatory therapy: The etiology of bronchitis is complex, including both infectious factors and physical and chemical factors. Infection factors may be virus infection, bacterial infection or other types of special pathogen infection, so it is necessary to treat the corresponding pathogens. If the patient has viral infection, antiviral drugs can be used early. If there is bacterial infection, antibiotics can be used in time to control airway inflammation;

2, sputum treatment: once bronchitis is formed, bronchial mucosal epithelial cells secrete mucus, sputum volume increases, sputum may become sticky. If it is difficult to expectorate, it can be treated with expectorant drugs, which is beneficial to clear the secretions inside the bronchus and correct airway inflammation.

3, cough treatment: patients with severe cough symptoms can use antitussive drugs to correct symptoms.

If the treatment of bronchitis is in the acute stage, the prognosis is usually good. If the disease persists, it may become chronic bronchitis.
