Treatment of bronchopneumonia requires individualized medication plans based on the type of pathogen and the patient's condition, mainly including antibiotics, antiviral drugs, and symptomatic treatments.
1. Antibiotics are the first-line drugs for treating bacterial bronchopneumonia. Commonly used drugs include amoxicillin, cefuroxime and azithromycin. The specific choice should be determined based on the results of pathogen culture and drug sensitivity test.
2. For viral bronchopneumonia, antiviral drugs such as oseltamivir, peramivir and ribavirin can be used to inhibit viral replication, but they should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
3. Symptomatic treatments such as dextromethorphan (a cough suppressant), ambroxol (an expectorant), and acetaminophen (an antipyretic analgesic) can relieve symptoms and improve patient comfort.
4. For critically ill patients, it may be necessary to use glucocorticoids such as methylprednisolone in combination to reduce the inflammatory response, but side effects need to be strictly monitored.
5. During medication, attention should be paid to drug dosage, course of treatment, and adverse reactions to avoid antibiotic abuse that could lead to drug resistance.
Treatment of bronchopneumonia should follow the principle of individualization, rationally selecting drugs based on the type of pathogen and the patient's condition, while also focusing on symptomatic treatment and prevention of complications to ensure the patient's safe recovery.
