Bronchitis cough in the elderly requires a combination of Chinese and Western medicine. TCM practitioners need to identify wind-cold and wind-heat coughs, as well as the severity of the underlying deficiency, and give Chinese medicines to identify the symptoms and treat the symptoms respectively. Chinese medicines can be given, such as Fishweed, Dwarf Tea, Banlangen, Zhebeimu, Piper betel, Gypsum, Scutellaria baicalensis, Bupleurum, Maidong, etc., which can effectively clear away the heat, resolve phlegm and stop coughing, and alleviate the patient’s clinical symptoms. If the cough is wind-cold, ephedra, almonds, cinnamon sticks, piper betel, calamus, etc. can also be given, which can effectively promote the lungs, disperse cold and stop cough. Western medicine, if you find geriatric bronchitis, you need to give routine blood tests, if the total number of white blood cells, C-reactive protein, calcitoninogen, neutrophils significantly increased, indicating that the bacterial infection is more serious, you need to give active anti-infection treatment. For example, amoxicillin clavulanate potassium of penicillin; cefuroxime and cefprozil of cephalosporins; oxfloxacin, levofloxacin and moxifloxacin of fluoroquinolones; azithromycin and roxithromycin of macrolides, all of them can effectively control bronchial infections of the patients, alleviate the clinical symptoms of the patients, and shorten the course of the disease.
