What Is the Lower Respiratory Tract?

The lower respiratory tract refers to the clinical upper trachea, main bronchi, and bronchial tubes of all levels in the lung. During inhalation, air enters the trachea through the nose or mouth, and the trachea branches into two bronchi, and enters the lung tissue in the chest cavity.

Lower respiratory tract

Lower respiratory tract infection is the most common infectious disease, and it must be clearly identified during treatment.

The prevention and treatment of respiratory infections should follow the principles of prevention first, accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. The main points of prevention include: 1. Vaccination of susceptible people; including pneumonia vaccine, influenza vaccine, etc. 2 The application of antibiotics in susceptible people, elderly patients with chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, diabetes, heart disease (heart failure) and children under the immune system, antibiotics can be appropriately applied to prevent bacterial infections when suffering from a cold. 3 In the case of a common cold or bacterial lower respiratory tract infection that is not correct, you should receive medical guidance from a respiratory specialist. Accurate diagnosis mainly refers to distinguishing common cold from bacterial lower respiratory tract infection. Timely treatment mainly refers to the treatment of bacterial infections. It should be noted that: sputum is taken for bacterial culture before the application of antibiotics; empirical antibiotic treatment of community-acquired pneumonia recommended by the Chinese Medical Association is used; general antibiotics are not effective within 3 days before considering replacement It is not advisable to change antibiotics frequently; the elderly can appropriately relax the application conditions of antibiotics; pay attention to the severe drug-resistant bacteria pneumonia in adolescents; use antipyretics as little as possible, especially do not use hormones frequently.

Pediatric Prevention

Recurrent respiratory infections refer to the occurrence of upper and lower respiratory infections too frequently within a year. This is a common infectious disease in children. Children have immature body development, relatively low immune system function, and weak anti-infection ability in the respiratory tract. In addition, some children have congenital underdevelopment, such as congenital epiglottic dysphagia, trachea softening, lung hypoplasia, congenital heart disease, and various causes Immune deficiencies, etc., make children prone to various infections. Poor living conditions and living a collective life are also important reasons for the onset of children.

The prevention and treatment of repeated respiratory infections in children can do the following:

(1) Enhance children's resistance. Usually nutrition should be comprehensive, not partial and picky.

(2) Keep the room air fresh. Winter is a season when respiratory diseases are prone, so take fewer children to public places.

(3) Choosing the right medicine, the proprietary Chinese medicine Pediatric Feerre Kechuan Oral Liquid is based on the well-known pediatric old Chinese medicine Zhao Xinbo based on decades of experience in treating acute respiratory diseases, and the classic famous formula "Ma Xing Shi Gan Decoction and Bai Hu "Tang soup" is made up of 11 flavors of Chinese herbal medicines such as ephedra, gypsum and bitter almonds, which have the functions of clearing heat and detoxifying, demonstrating lungs and resolving phlegm, and preventing and treating repeated respiratory infections.

The honeysuckle component can inhibit bacterial body protein synthesis, destroy the ultrastructure of bacteria, and play a significant role in the treatment of upper respiratory tract inflammation. It can also treat Gram-positive bacteria (such as S. aureus, pneumococcus, pertussis, etc.) and Gram. Negative bacteria (such as E. coli, typhoid, tuberculosis, meningococcus, etc.) have inhibitory effects. Combined with penicillin can significantly enhance the inhibitory effect on drug-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.
