Modern antibiotics are of semi-synthetic or natural origin.
Antibiotics are used in the treatment of bronchitis and other infectious diseases provoked by the growth of harmful microorganisms.
Now let's look at the list of antibiotics used for a particular disease, consider the principle of their action and find out if they are needed at all? What are the benefits and harms of using antibiotics?
Antibiotics for bronchitis and pneumonia
For bronchitis, the following antibiotics are used:
- amoxicillin;
- doxycycline;
- motifloxacin;
- cmprofloxacin;
- amoxicillin-clavulanate;
- azithromycin;
- clarithromycin;
- levofloxacin.
For pneumonia, the following antibiotics are used:
- amoxicillin-clavulant;
- ampicillin sulbactam + macrolide;
- levofloxacin + ceftriaxone or cefotaxin;
- benzylpenicillin;
- ampicillin + macrolide;
- cefuroxime axetil;
- doxycillin.
Antibiotics used for chronic bronchitis:
- polysynthetic penicillins (ampiox);
- cephalosporins (cefotaxime, cephalexin);
- aminoglycosides (amikacin, gentamicin);
- macrolides (oleandomycin, erythromycin);
- long-acting tetracyclines (doxycycline, rondomycin, metacyclin).
Antibiotics used for acute bronchitis:
- drugs of choice (clarithramycin, erythromycin, azithromycin, doxycycline);
- alternative agents (cotrimaxozole, azithromycin).
Obstructive bronchitis is a very common and very serious disease of the broncho-pulmonary system. It is dangerous, first of all, because it recurs very often and is able to lead a child to the development of bronchial asthma. They prefer not to use antibiotics for obstructive bronchitis, since there is no need for it.
The unjustified use of antibiotics leads to the appearance of dysbiosis and forms an increased resistance of microorganisms to the perception of the antibiotic.
In treatment, antibiotics are mainly used for bronchitis in adults.
Most often, these are anti-infectious drugs that are antibacterial in nature:
- frolimide;
- azithromycin;
- rovamycin;
- macrofoam;
- flemoxin;
- chemomycin.
In addition, with an exacerbation of the disease, cephalosporins are used:
- rocephin;
- cefelim;
- fortum;
- cephalexin;
- glaforan;
- ceftriaxone;
- cephalozolin;
- suprax.
These drugs are prescribed orally for mild to moderate forms of the disease.
Severe forms of the disease require injections of drugs. The doctor can combine treatment methods: prescribe intramuscular injections or suggest taking medications in pills.
With bronchitis in children, they try to avoid taking antibiotics so as not to damage the growing child's body. However, in extreme cases, the use of new generation antibiotics, which have a mild, sparing effect, is allowed.
Children's antibiotic for bronchitis, for example, erespal, is prescribed by the attending physician depending on the body weight and age of the sick child.
Never buy antibiotics on your own, much less give them to your child. By these actions you will cause irreparable harm to your baby.
There are now effective new antibiotics of the latest generation for the treatment of bronchitis. These are, for example, cephalosporins (ceftazidime).
Antibiotics with a broad spectrum of antibiotics can sometimes be helpful:
- macrolides (oleandomyin, erythromycin);
- extended-release tetracyclines (doxycycline, rondomycin, metacyclin).
Antibiotics for tracheitis are indicated in severe cases of diseases and in the presence of severe symptoms of a bacterial infection. In this case, the use of antibiotics from the penicillin series may be beneficial.
If natural, natural penicillins prove to be ineffective, then you should turn to the use of semi-synthetic penicillins.
All kinds of suspensions are very effective and practical in treating children. For example, sumamed suspension is a wonderful and tasty antibiotic that children really like. It is very convenient to take, since the sumamed suspension is slowly excreted from the body tissues. It is enough to take it every other day.
Since people quite often take antibiotics without consulting a doctor, that is, they self-medicate, pathogens adapt to the type of antibiotic taken, open their way to further reproduction. Due to this, doctors are constantly forced to create a new, strong and effective drug.
Antibiotic flemoxin, for example, refers to just this type of drug. It is recommended for use in inflammatory processes on the mucous surfaces of the nose. However, with frequent use of this drug, the body may become addicted to the active substances, which will cause subsequent ineffectiveness in the treatment of the disease.
Amoxiglav - combined antibiotic, actively affecting most bacteria and microorganisms.
Amoxiglav is produced in the form of drops and suspensions for children and in the form of tablets for adults.
The use of amoxiglav quickly leads to relief of the general condition:
- the cough goes away completely or is significantly reduced;
- runny nose disappears;
- ears and throat stop hurting.
The dosage of the drug must be determined by the doctor.
Augmentin is a combined antibiotic, available in powder form for suspensions or tablets.
Augmentin has a wide range of effectiveness. Augmentin is recommended for the destruction of a wide variety of microbes. Augmentin contains amoxicillin and clavulanic acid. The combination of these components makes Augmentin particularly effective.
Some antibiotics are available in ampoules and are used for parenteral administration (gentamicin). However, they are generally contraindicated in newborn babies and pregnant women.
You can buy antibiotics for bronchitis today in almost any pharmacy. However, it should be borne in mind that when using them, the full responsibility falls only on you, because it is not known what independent experiments with medicines can lead to. Especially, this should be borne in mind if you want to cure your child yourself.
Remember that the child is not an experimental subject.
Before using ANY antibiotics, consult a doctor in advance.
Be healthy!
