Obstructive bronchitis in a child: treatment

If this disease is detected in a young child, then therapy is carried out in a hospital. Older children are hospitalized with severe bronchitis.

If obstructive bronchitis is detected in a child, treatment should begin with providing the baby with plenty of warm drink. It can be fruit drinks, juices, compotes and other fortified drinks. Also, the child needs to rest as much as possible and strain his throat as little as possible. To prevent the appearance of wheezing, it is necessary to dilute the accumulated mucus. Inhalations with alkaline solutions will cope with this. In addition, it is necessary to rinse the nasopharynx — this will help prevent the proliferation of viruses and bacteria. Rinsing is carried out with saline and means containing silver.

In addition, the baby's nutrition should be light, so as not to overload the sick body, but at the same time nutritious enough to maintain strength in the fight against the disease. Drug therapy can only be prescribed by a doctor, self-medication is unacceptable here.
