What symptom expression can bronchitis appear?

Bronchitis in children is the existing symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, followed by cough as the main symptom. Frequent and deep dry cough appeared at first, and then bronchial secretion gradually appeared. Cough usually lasts 7-10 days, sometimes 2-3 weeks, or recurrent. Bronchitis in children with mild symptoms, no obvious appearance, generally no systemic symptoms. Infants have severe symptoms, easy to feel tired, affect sleep appetite.

In the chest can hear dry, wet rales, rales or thick or thin, mostly medium wet rales, children bronchitis symptoms mainly scattered in the lower chest, occasionally limited to one side. After coughing up secretion, rales can be reduced temporarily. Occasionally, due to too much sputum in the bronchus, the breath sounds can be reduced, but after expectoration, the breath sounds will return to normal.

In severe cases, the respiratory sounds of both lungs are rough, and there may be irregular scattered dry and wet rales and rough middle wet rales. But it should be difficult to distinguish from pneumonia in the early stage. If you hear deep rales or twist sounds, and the rales do not decrease significantly after coughing, you should consider pneumonia for chest X-ray examination to make a definite diagnosis.

matters needing attention

Eat more foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin C. Because vitamin A can maintain the normal function of respiratory epithelial tissue and relieve cough symptoms, we should choose foods rich in vitamin A and carotene, such as egg yolk, animal liver and kidney, green vegetables, carrots, tomatoes, etc. Vitamin C can protect bronchial epithelial cells and reduce capillary permeability, participate in antibody formation, promote inflammation, so we should eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamin C.
