2. The patient has allergic reactions that occur during treatment with phytotherapeutic drugs.
3. As the only therapy for severe conditions, such as: severe intoxication syndrome, increased body tempetature, difficulty breathing, intense cough.
4. In case of incomplete examination, when the diagnosis of chronic bronchitis needs to be differentiated from other diseases of the bronchi and lungs.
Phytotherapy can be used, but with caution:
1. For self-treatment with the established diagnosis of chronic bronchitis.
2. If the patient's condition worsens. Only the doctor will be able to tell what the deterioration of this patient is due to and make the necessary decision on the further tactics of treatment! But remember, ask for help from a doctor as soon as possible if the condition worsens!
3. At pregnancy it is necessary to select individual phytotherapy individually depending on the term of pregnancy, concomitant diseases.
4. When breastfeeding, I also recommend not to engage in self-selection of fees, but contact your doctor, since all herbs are ingested with breast milk into the body of the child.
5. Children, as it is necessary to select individual dosages of medicines taking into account age, body weight.
Forecast of treatment of bronchitis with herbs
What effect can it achieve in the treatment and why is it so important and the traditional treatment prescribed by the doctor?
With the established diagnosis of chronic bronchitis without bronchial obstruction, treatment with phytotherapeutic drugs is fully justified. This is due to the fact that the patient needs a long reception of medicines. But, as I have repeatedly written, all chemicals of chemical nature have side effects, whether it is an effect on the liver or kidneys, a local irritant effect on the gastric mucosa. That is why it is necessary to select strictly and individually the preparations of the chemical nature, as well as the dosages and the duration of the medication intake.
Phytotherapy can be used both for prophylactic purposes in the season of colds and ARVI, and as an auxiliary treatment for therapy with chemical substances. Herbal treatment helps the body fight infection, removes intoxication syndrome, "gives" strength to the body, bringing vitamins and trace elements, also reduces the side effects of chemotherapy and enhances their therapeutic effect.
In my medical practice, I quite widely prescribe phytotherapy at the very beginning of treatment as an auxiliary therapy and I advise you to finish the reception of herbs no earlier than 2 weeks( and better in a month) after the end of treatment with chemical preparations.
If it is impossible to add phytotherapeutic agents as an auxiliary therapy in the treatment of chronic bronchitis, the addition of foods rich in phytoncides and vitamins is recommended, which allows to increase the body's immune status naturally.
Please note that the treatment of chronic bronchitis, even if this diagnosis has been exposed to you for a very long time and the disease is always the same, it is necessary to undergo the control of a doctor who can correctly select you treatment and prevent the development of complications and the transition of bronchitis to pneumonia.
