After bronchitis occurs, it is easy for people to cough. You should know that there are many causes of bronchitis, but some people have symptoms of dry cough without sputum. For this situation, many people want to know what to do? In order to relieve physical discomfort. 1. When patients have systemic symptoms, they should pay attention to rest and keep warm. The goals of treatment are to relieve symptoms and improve body function. People often require fluids and antipyretic drugs. Antitussive drugs can be used appropriately. When the sputum is large or sticky, expectorants can be used. 2. Control infection. Antimicrobial drugs are selected based on the main pathogens and severity of the infection or according to the drug sensitivity results of the pathogens. If the patient has purulent sputum, it is an indication for the use of antibacterial drugs. Mild cases can be taken orally, while more serious cases can use intramuscular injection or intravenous drip of antibiotics. Commonly used antibiotics include penicillin G, erythromycin, aminoglycosides, quinolones, cephalosporins, etc. 3. Expectorant and antitussive. For patients in the acute attack stage, expectorants and antitussive drugs should be used at the same time as anti-infection treatment to improve symptoms. Commonly used drugs include ammonium chloride mixture, bromhexine, ambroxol, carboxymethylcysteine and strong diluent. Chinese patent medicine also has a certain effect in relieving cough. For the elderly who are weak and unable to cough up sputum or have a large amount of sputum, they should be assisted in expectoration to clear the respiratory tract. The use of cough suppressants should be avoided to prevent central nervous system depression, aggravation of airway obstruction and complications. Bronchitis is a very serious disease, so it is very important to prevent bronchitis in time in our daily life. The elderly should be more aware that decreased adrenal cortex function may induce bronchitis. |
