There is no specific drug for bronchitis, and different kinds of antibiotics or antiviral drugs should be used under the guidance of physicians to treat the cause of bronchitis after identifying the type of pathogens that cause bronchitis.
1. Bacterial infection: For bronchitis caused by bacterial infection, penicillin V potassium tablets and other penicillins, cephalosporins such as cefixime tablets and other antibiotics such as quinolones such as ofloxacin can be used for the treatment of the cause of the bacterial infection when there are clear signs of bacterial infection;
2. Mycoplasma infection: for bronchitis caused by mycoplasma infection, it is recommended to take macrolide antibiotics such as roxithromycin capsules and azithromycin capsules for the treatment of the cause;
3. Viral infections: bronchitis caused by viral infections can generally be treated by paying attention to rest, drinking plenty of water, light diet and other life interventions, and can be appropriately treated with drugs such as aminoglutethimide hydrochloride and carboxymetholestyramine when the symptoms of coughing and phlegm are severe.
When using medication, it is important to follow the doctor’s instructions, apply the medication reasonably, do not use the medication arbitrarily, in order to avoid causing serious side effects and adverse reactions. Patients with bronchitis are advised to seek prompt medical attention if symptoms are severe.
