Bronchitis is a serious disease that requires immediate treatment. Usually it develops against the background of acute respiratory viral infections (acute respiratory viral infection) or after untreated colds. It is safe to say that almost every person in his life at least once suffered from this insidious disease.
Modern medicine has in its arsenal medications for bronchitis that can completely cure the disease in a few days without leaving any consequences, although the cough can last more than three weeks. If you have bronchitis more than three to four times a year, then this may indicate the development of a more serious condition that destructively affects the lung tissue. It can be
chronic bronchitis, emphysema, asthmatic bronchitis or bronchial asthma.
The main symptom of bronchitis is cough with sputum. Remember that coughing is one of the most important protective functions of the human body. It helps cleanse the airways. In this case, only a productive, moist cough may be useful. In the bronchi, the accumulation of mucus leads to difficulty in breathing, as a result of which the work of the lungs is disrupted. And the mucous secret itself is a breeding ground for the propagation of microorganisms.
If you have a cough with thick, opaque sputum, discomfort or sore throat, a slight fever - you should immediately consult a doctor. In no case should you take medications for bronchitis yourself - this can complicate the treatment and worsen the situation.
Usually the doctor listens to the patient with a stethoscope. In order to rule out a more formidable disease, such as pneumonia, an x-ray may be prescribed. A sputum test will be performed to identify the pathogen. Only after that you will be prescribed a cure for bronchitis.
These include expectorant stimulants. These are, first of all, preparations of coltsfoot, marshmallow, thermopsis, licorice. These drugs act for a short time, so they should be taken quite often - every 2-3 hours.
Medications for bronchitis are very diverse, and they are prescribed by a doctor depending on the general state of human health, as well as on the basis of laboratory tests.
Now, in the
treatment of bronchitis , Bromhexine, Ambrobene, Lazolvan are successfully used - these are mucolytic drugs. In addition, there are a huge number of combined drugs - Bronchicum,
Doctor IOM, Broncholitin, etc.
Applying medications for bronchitis, it is also useful to use alternative methods of treatment that have come to us from the depths of centuries. Many of them have long been adopted by traditional medicine. The first such remedy for bronchitis is breast collection. This is a unique set of medicinal herbs in its composition and combination that can clear the airways of accumulated mucus, suppress the growth of microbes, and relieve inflammation in the bronchi and lungs.
Massage with bronchitis is also of great importance, but you must immediately make a reservation that a specialist should do it - "amateur activity" is inappropriate here.
