What to do if your child keeps coughing from bronchitis

  Acute bronchitis in pediatric patients is an inflammation of the bronchial mucosa caused by various pathogens, often with simultaneous tracheal involvement, with more frequent and severe onset in infancy and early childhood. It is mainly an infection, caused by viruses, Mycoplasma pneumoniae or bacteria, or a combination of them.  The cough usually lasts 7 to 10 days, sometimes up to 2 to 3 weeks, or is recurrent.  Due to the long duration of cough in pediatric bronchitis, cough medications are often ineffective, and it is still unsatisfactory to try a variety of cough and phlegm-suppressing drugs, so non-pharmacologic therapy as an adjunct to pharmacotherapy is also a good choice.  1.Water vapor fumigation, a cup of boiling water, let the child inhale water vapor slowly and evenly with the mouth and nose near the mouth of the cup (note that rapid and loud inhalation will aggravate the cough instead) to keep the respiratory tract moist and help relieve the cough, do it 2 times a day 2.For dry cough or yellow sputum, you can use ice sugar and Chuanbei steamed snow pear to stop cough and dissolve phlegm.  3.If the sputum is white and clear, or if you have cold, you can boil ginger and honey water to expel cold and stop coughing.  4, pay attention to rest, keep the environment fresh air, change the position frequently, drink more water and supplement a lot of vitamin C, etc.  5. Patting your child’s back for 15 minutes a day can also effectively reduce coughing.  Regardless of the cause of the cough, it may be prolonged for a longer period of time. Parents do not need to be overly nervous and use medication indiscriminately, especially the use of antibiotics under the guidance of a doctor. As long as the child’s overall mental state is good and there are no obvious abnormal changes, then be patient and adjust and recover slowly.
