Tracheitis cough caused by bacterial infection in children needs to be treated with antibiotics, combined with cough suppressants and expectorants. The specific type of medicine should be determined based on the doctor's diagnosis. Parents should take their children to the doctor in time to obtain a reasonable treatment plan and use the medicine under the doctor's guidance. 1. Antibiotic treatment When bacterial infection causes tracheitis cough, antibiotics are the core of treatment. Commonly used antibiotics include: Amoxicillin and clavulanate potassium: It is effective for a variety of respiratory bacterial infections and has low drug resistance, but attention should be paid to whether there is a history of drug allergy. Cefaclor: Suitable for children with mild allergic reactions to penicillin, it works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls. Azithromycin: It is effective against infections with sensitive bacteria such as streptococci. It requires a small dosage and a short duration of administration, and is suitable for cases that are resistant to penicillin. When taking medication, you must strictly follow the doctor's prescription and avoid increasing or decreasing the dosage or stopping the medication on your own to prevent drug resistance or reduced efficacy. 2. Cough and expectorant drugs To relieve cough symptoms, cough suppressants and expectorants can be used appropriately. It is recommended to choose the following medicines under the guidance of a doctor: Dextromethorphan is commonly used in outpatient clinics: it is mainly used to relieve non-infectious severe cough. Carbamazepine: It can help children to expectorate and reduce mucus accumulation in the trachea. Expectorant syrup: such as Xiaoer Qingfei Huatan Granules, can effectively improve the viscosity of sputum and improve breathing. 3 Auxiliary nursing measures Increase indoor humidity: Use a humidifier or place a basin of water in the room to keep the air moist to help relieve respiratory irritation. Feed plenty of warm water: Encouraging children to drink more warm water can dilute phlegm and help it pass smoothly. Avoid irritants: Avoid exposing your child to secondhand smoke, fumes or other irritating gas environments. The key to treating bacterial tracheitis is to use antibiotics as early as possible and in a standardized manner, combined with cough suppressants and expectorants and daily care. If a child has severe symptoms, such as persistent high fever, shortness of breath, or worsening cough, seek medical attention immediately without delay. |
