What to do if a patient with pneumonia has a bad cough

In patients with pneumonia, if the anti-infective treatment is discontinued, the cough will remain after the cough is stopped. The duration of the cough varies depending on the condition, especially in patients with mycoplasma infection, where the cough lasts longer. For coughs, cough suppressants or nebulizer inhalation therapy should be applied to relieve cough symptoms. The most common clinical treatment is nebulized inhalation therapy, which allows the drug to reach the lungs directly, with few side effects and good clinical results. Commonly used nebulized drugs include terbutaline sulfate nebulized solution, budesonide suspension for inhalation, and compound ipratropium bromide solution for inhalation, or cough and sputum-relieving oral medications, such as procaterol, aminoglutethimide or compound methocarbamol capsules, amiloride, etc. . You can also apply Chinese medicine to moisten the lungs and relieve cough, such as cough suppressant or lung cream, strong loquat, etc., to treat the symptoms of cough.
