What to do if you are still coughing after 10 days of hospitalization for bronchopneumonia

Possible reasons for coughing symptoms even after 10 days of bronchopneumonia treatment include poor treatment, the condition being in recovery and airway hyperresponsiveness. You can apply cough suppressant drugs, adjust the treatment program, continue to take oral medication and so on to deal with. 1. Poor therapeutic effect: the cause needs to be actively analyzed. If the symptoms are aggravated, the doctor needs to adjust the treatment and choose sensitive anti-infective drugs. 2. In the process of recovery: the cough is not completely relieved may be the treatment cycle has not yet been achieved, still need time, can continue the current treatment, extend the treatment cycle. 3. Airway hyperresponsiveness: many patients will continue to cough for a period of time after the inflammation has been controlled, and cough medication can be applied appropriately, such as compound licorice tablets, montelukast sodium, cough syrup and other drugs. At the same time of active treatment, it is necessary to regularly review chest radiographs or chest CT, improve blood routine, inflammation markers and other tests to assess the efficacy of treatment.
