Antibiotics for bronchitis
Antibiotics for bronchitis are selected after a thorough examination, examination and all necessary tests by the treating doctor.
Bronchitis is a common disease, both among children and among older people; in recent years, the disease has become chronic in the population. In an adult, the signs of the disease manifest themselves differently depending on certain factors. Before you start treating the disease, you need to determine the cause that led to the disease. Unfortunately, modern doctors prescribe antibiotics at random, according to the principle of "no more will be." However, with some forms of bronchitis, the use of antibiotics only hinders recovery. Bronchitis of a viral origin and without antibiotics is well treatable, since viruses are not destroyed by antibacterial agents. When treating viral bronchitis with antibiotics, depression of immunity begins, dysbacteriosis, allergic reactions, bacteria develop resistance to the drug.
With bronchitis in acute form, the focus of inflammation in the bronchi develops due to ingestion of viruses or infection. If before the disease in humans in the lungs there were no pathological processes, in 95% of the bronchitis was caused by viruses. At a bronchitis of the acute form of a virus origin antibiotics are not obligatory. If a person has a strong immune system, then treatment of a disease of staphylococcal, streptococcal, pneumococcal infection is predominantly symptomatic, recovery is an average of two of the week. If the defenses of the body are weakened, antibiotics must be taken. Acute bronchitis is manifested by a strong cough, pain in the chest, increased body temperature. Most of the patients recover fairly quickly (within two weeks), in some cases, cough lasts about a month.
Chronic bronchitis is considered if the disease occurs throughout the year often enough (the total number of days of illness for a year exceeds 90). At a chronic bronchitis of the person excruciates a strong cough with allocation of slime. Such a cough can be associated with harmful working conditions, smoking, allergic manifestations, infections in the upper respiratory tract. With exacerbations or repeated diseases, treatment is carried out with antibacterial drugs in combination with expectorants.
In a separate category there are bronchitis of Chlamydia and Mycoplasma origin. Recently, bronchitis, provoked by bacteria of chlamydia and microplasma, is diagnosed more often. The development of the disease is very slow, accompanied by signs of intoxication, the disease proceeds in a protracted form, with frequent relapses, treatment such bronchitis succumb extremely hard. In addition to a person's strong cough, fever, high fever, and muscle pains are excruciating.
Antibiotics for pregnant women with bronchitis
The frequency of bronchitis in pregnant women is quite high. This is primarily due to a weakened immune system that is unable to resist viruses and infections. The development of bronchitis begins as a manifestation of the common cold (weakness, temperature). After a few days, a dry cough begins, and after a couple of days sputum begins to appear from the bronchi. It is extremely important for a future mother to take their health seriously, because this threatens with various (sometimes quite serious) complications for the child. If there is a suspicion that the bronchitis is developing, you should immediately consult a doctor.
The excretion of sputum from the lungs in pregnant women is difficult, since the mobility of the diaphragm is reduced, and it is in a raised state. A long time stagnating in the bronchi sputum prolongs the term of the disease, in addition, this state is extremely harmful for the future mother, and for her baby. If in total the disease lasted no more than two weeks, most likely, the disease proceeded in acute form, but if the treatment lasted for a month or more - it means that the disease became chronic shape. Acute bronchitis has no harmful effect on the future baby, but a long chronic form of the disease can lead to intrauterine infection of the fetus. After the examination and all tests confirmed the diagnosis of bronchitis, treatment of a woman should be started as soon as possible.
X-rays to pregnant women are prescribed only in extreme cases, when the doctor has doubts about the correct diagnosis, the disease is accompanied by a very serious condition of the woman, a variety of complications. Antibiotics for bronchitis are prescribed quite often, but the use of such potent drugs for women in period of pregnancy is not recommended, especially during the first three months you need to exclude any medicinal preparations. As a rule, antibiotics are prescribed to pregnant women in extreme cases, when mothers are threatened with serious complications. In the event that it is not possible to dispense with antibiotics, preparations from a number of penicillins, which can be used in the treatment of pregnant women, are prescribed. These drugs virtually eliminate the possibility of harm to the child. If a woman is in the second trimester, then the use of cephalosporin group drugs is possible.
With bronchitis in acute form, you can use Bioporox - a local antibiotic with which inhalations are carried out. This agent acts directly in the respiratory tract, therefore, the possibility of penetration through the placenta is completely excluded, which is extremely important for a woman in the position.
List of antibiotics for bronchitis
Aminopenicillins:
- amoksiklav;
- amoxicillin;
- arlet;
- augmentin.
Antibiotics of this series are destructive to the walls of bacteria, their action is directed only at harmful microorganisms, and there is no harm to the body as a whole. The only drawback of such drugs is that penicillins are capable of provoking strong allergic reactions.
Macrolides:
- Macropen;
- sumamed.
Block the multiplication of microbes due to disruption of protein production in cells.
Fluoroquinolones:
- ofloxacin;
- levofloxacin;
- moxifloxacin.
Antibiotics for bronchitis of a wide spectrum of action, their frequent use leads to disruption of the digestive tract, provokes dysbiosis.
Cephalosporins:
- ceftriaxone;
- cefazolin;
- cephalexin.
Antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action, well cope with microorganisms resistant to penicillins. Preparations of this group are usually well tolerated by patients, in very rare cases cause allergic reactions.
Antibiotics for bronchitis in adults
Antibiotics for bronchitis in older people often have a major importance in the treatment of the disease. First of all, anti-infectious agents with antibacterial effect are used: rovamycin, flemoxin, chemomycin, azithromycin.
In second place is a cephalosporin group of antibiotics: suprax, ceftriaxone, cefazolin, cefepime. Such antibiotics are used in light and medium course of the disease, mainly in the form of tablets. Severe stages of the disease are treated with injections, in some cases it is advisable to use combination therapy combining injections and taking tablets. With bronchitis of viral origin, antiviral agents such as vifron, kipferon, geneferon, and the like are used. It is also necessary to take expectorants (ACS, lazolvan, bromhexine, etc.). If you suffer from dyspnea, you can use bronchodilators: teopek, euphyllin, berodual, salbutamol, etc. Also, treatment should be supplemented with vitamin preparations to strengthen the defenses of the body.
If antibiotics are prescribed without sputum analysis, preference is given to broad-spectrum antibiotics, usually penicillin or a protected penicillin group. The most commonly prescribed is augmentin from the group of protected penicillins, which has a disastrous effect on most bacteria that are unable to develop resistance to this drug. Augmentin is available in the form of tablets, injections, suspensions. The drug in the form of a suspension is convenient to use for the treatment of small children, this drug can also be used in pregnancy. Safety of use of the drug in childhood and pregnant women has been proved by numerous studies.
Also, antibiotic preparations of the macrolide group, for example, azithromycin, have a good therapeutic effect. Preparations are convenient to use, since it is required to be taken once, besides the course of treatment is not very long, 3 to 5 days.
However, the appointment of an antibiotic should be carried out taking into account the identified pathogens of the disease, on the basis of bacteriosives (sputum analysis).
Antibiotics for bronchitis in children
For the treatment of such a disease as bronchitis in children, drugs that improve drainage of the bronchi, i. a variety of mucolytic agents (liquefying phlegm): ambroxol, licorice root, althea, etc. Recently, inhalers have become very popular with the help of a special inhalation device - a nebulizer, which can be used at home.
Antibiotics for bronchitis in children are often prescribed together with antiallergic and immunomodulating drugs. Its effectiveness and safety for children was proved by the phytoantibiotic Umkalor, which includes bacteriostatic properties. This drug is well suited for the final cure of the disease, after using more powerful antibiotics, since the drug has good immunostimulating properties. Umcalor is recommended to take at least a week after the disappearance of the main symptoms of the disease for prevention.
It is mandatory to take funds aimed at maintaining and restoring the intestinal microflora in order to prevent the development of dysbiosis and weakening of the body's defenses. If treatment is started in a timely manner and an effective course of treatment is chosen, recovery occurs in 2 to 3 weeks.
Antibiotics for chronic bronchitis
Chronic bronchitis develops a change in the bronchial mucosa. Characteristic signs of bronchitis is sputum for more than two consecutive years, frequent prolonged exacerbations of the disease (at least three months a year). With chronic bronchitis there are stages of exacerbation and remission. In case of exacerbations, usually, the patient's extremely difficult condition is observed, in which he is forced to seek qualified help. In such periods, people suffer severe attacks of cough, weakness, increased sweating, fever. Periods of remission are accompanied by regular sputum discharge when coughing, which does not greatly affect a person's daily life. With chronic bronchitis, mucous ulcers get purulent sputum, sometimes bloody impurities appear.
The chronic form of bronchitis is most often sick at an older age, young people and children usually suffer the disease in a protracted form, with frequent relapses.
Antibiotics for bronchitis should be prescribed only after determining the sensitivity of pathogens to the active substance. Exacerbation of the chronic form of the disease can occur with the activity of chlamydia, legionella, and microplasmas. In this case, effective drugs for the treatment of the disease are antibiotics of the macrolide group (azithromycin, rovamycin). If the causative agent is Gram-positive coccal bacteria, antibiotics of the cephalosporin series are prescribed, with Gram-negative coccal infection - preparations of the last generation.
Good efficacy in the treatment of chronic forms of bronchitis are shown by antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action, tetracyclines, macrolides, etc.
Antibiotics for acute bronchitis
The causative agents of the acute form of bronchitis are mainly rhinovirus infections, respiratory-sentient viruses, influenza viruses, and the like. Bacterial pathogens of the disease are most often mycoplasmas, chlamydia. The culprits of acute bronchitis are viruses in 90% of cases, in the remaining 10% - bacteria. Also, acute bronchitis can develop as a result of prolonged exposure to poison gas or chemical compounds.
When acute form of bronchitis appears cough with the discharge of mucous sputum (sometimes with an admixture of pus), fever, weakness. In some patients, cough lasts about a month.
Antibiotics for bronchitis, which occurs in acute form, in most cases, use is undesirable, because the disease is most often caused by a viral infection, in which antibiotic therapy is ineffective. Treatment of bronchitis in acute form is mostly symptomatic (antipyretic, antitussive, vitamin preparations). If bronchitis has developed as a result of influenza virus, treatment is advisable to carry out antiviral drugs.
In some cases, the use of antibacterial drugs for bronchitis is still a necessity. First of all, these are people in old age and small children, since they have an increased risk of developing severe complications (exacerbation of chronic disease, pneumonia). Usually, in such cases, amoxicillin (500 mg three times a day), josamycin (500 mg three times a day), spiramycin (2 times a day for 3 million IU), erythromycin (500 mg four times a day) is prescribed in such cases.
Antibiotics for obstructive bronchitis
Obstructive bronchitis is accompanied by a dry obtrusive cough that lasts almost without stopping, usually arises, and after coughing, there is no relief. Cough often intensifies at night, thus preventing a person from resting, the first time the body temperature is not increased. The usual symptoms of the disease (weakness, headache, fever) are practically not observed. In most cases, dyspnea appears in the disease, difficulty breathing, small children often widen the wings of the nose when trying to breathe, while breathing noisy, with hissing sounds.
The course of obstructive bronchitis occurs in acute or chronic form. Diseases in the acute form are most often affected by children, chronic - adults and elderly people.
Antibiotics for bronchitis of the obstructive form are appointed after a bacterial infection is detected. The usual means used for treatment are fluoroquinolones, aminopenicillins, macrolides. With an exhausting cough that does not give the patient a full rest, an erespal is prescribed (usually one tablet twice a day).
Antibiotics for purulent bronchitis
The development of a purulent form of the disease usually occurs due to the initially incorrect treatment of the acute form of the disease. With bronchitis, sputum analysis is rarely prescribed for sensitivity, and in most cases, drugs with a wide spectrum of action are immediately prescribed. Usually this kind of treatment is effective. Together with antibiotics, thinner phlegm and antiallergic drugs are prescribed. A number of complications are caused by the viral nature of the disease, in this case, antibiotics for bronchitis are completely ineffective, since their effect does not apply to viruses. With such treatment, the disease progresses, and passes into a more severe form, most often into a purulent one. With purulent bronchitis, sputum appears with purulent impurities.
Treatment of the disease should be done after the mandatory determination of microflora and its sensitivity to antibiotics. Good efficacy in the treatment of purulent forms of bronchitis show inhalation.
Natural antibiotics for bronchitis
Natural antibiotics in bronchitis are not able to completely replace drugs, but they can fully protect the body from of most infections, to strengthen immunity (in contrast to chemical), besides natural remedies do not destroy microflora in the intestine and do not provoke a dysbacteriosis.
For a long time people knew the products and plants that had anti-inflammatory and bactericidal properties during treatment. One of the most famous strong antibiotics of natural origin is garlic. It well destroys viruses, bacteria, parasites, penetrating into our body. Garlic acts fatal to such bacteria as Styrmococcus, Staphylococcus, Salmonella, diphtheria, tuberculosis. In total, garlic fights with 23 different bacteria.
Onion is also a widely known powerful natural antibiotic that helps stop the reproduction of sticks of dysentery, diphtheria, tuberculosis, streptococcal, staphylococcal infections. The aroma of onion helps cleanse the airways.
The root of horseradish contains lysozyme, which destroys the cellular structure of bacteria, thereby eliminating the infection.
Black radish acts destructively on cells of microorganisms. In combination with honey, it has a strong bactericidal effect. In addition, it helps to strengthen the defenses of the body, weakened by the disease.
Garnet has strong anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, since ancient times pomegranate was used to treat typhoid fever, salmonellosis, colitis, stomach diseases, non-healing wounds, dysentery, cholera, sore throat. Substances in the pomegranate function in the human body selectively, in contrast to chemicals, and destroy only pathogens.
Raspberry has long been known for its sweating, anti-inflammatory, bactericidal properties, besides, it has a good soothing effect. Raspberries are especially effective for diseases of the throat, bronchi, and the like.
Kalina has good bactericidal properties, successfully destroys various fungi, bacteria, viruses, and also increases immunity. But the viburnum can not be taken continuously, it is recommended as a prophylaxis of seasonal diseases (in the autumn-winter period).
In honey contains all important for our body trace elements. It helps to cope with various diseases, in particular caused by bacterial infections.
The composition of propolis is rich in essential oils, flavonoids, flavonoids, organic acids. Scientists have repeatedly argued that propolis is effective in fighting a variety of pathogenic microorganisms. Propolis has no contraindications and side effects (except for individual intolerance), in addition, microorganisms do not develop resistance to it.
Aloe - a long-known medicinal plant, which is popular in our days. In scarlet, except for a multitude of trace elements, vitamins, etc., there is one substance that has a strong antiviral, antiseptic, antifungal effect. In addition, scarlet increases the body's defenses and helps cope with serious diseases.
Mumiye in its principle of action resembles propolis. Scientists have already been shown the presence in the mummy of an antibiotic, which is superior in strength to the effects of penicillin. The solution mummy destroys E. coli, staphylococcus and other pathogenic microorganisms. Take mummies should be a course of no more than 10 days, because there is a strong stimulating effect.
In the composition of chamomile is a large number of essential oils, which have a good anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effect on the human body. Also in the composition of chamomile are various acids, glucose, carotene, which are very useful for human health. Modern science has recognized the chamomile as one of the few plants that help a person effectively combat gastrointestinal diseases, nervous disorders, colds, etc. Camomile is also a strong antiseptic and has expectorant properties.
Calendula has a wide variety of uses. Its antibacterial properties of calendula is due to the essential oil entering into its composition. Infusion and flowers of calendula is usually well tolerated by people prone to allergic reactions.
Sage is one of the strong natural antibiotics, which has antiseptic and antiviral properties. Sage has proven itself as an additional remedy in the treatment of diseases that cause various viral and bacterial infections. It is very effective against gram-positive microorganisms (enterococci, staphylococci, etc.).
Essential oils of plants such as sage, cloves, tea tree, fir, lavender, mint, etc. are natural antibiotics that destroy bacteria, viruses, fungi and inhibit the reproduction of microbes.
A good antibiotic for bronchitis
Antibiotics for bronchitis are used in several groups:
- aminopenicillins - act destructively on the walls of bacteria, thus causing the death of microorganisms. Of this group, amoxicillin is often prescribed. The human body does not have components that are similar in structure to the bacterial cell walls, so preparations of this group act solely on microbes and do not have a harmful effect on the body rights. But penicillin antibiotics are more likely than other drugs to provoke severe allergic reactions.
- macrolides - disrupt the production of protein in bacterial cells, as a result, bacteria lose their ability to reproduce. A wide spread of azithromycin, roxithromycin. If the nature of the disease is protracted, drugs of this group can be treated for a long time, without fear that the medicine will harm the body. This group of drugs can be used in childhood, during pregnancy and lactation.
- fluoroquinolones - break the DNA of bacteria, which leads to their death. Usually moxifloxacin, levofloxacin is prescribed. Preparations of this group show a good result in the treatment of various forms of bronchitis, but they are quite expensive. Fluoroquinolones have a wide spectrum of action (an order of magnitude greater than macrolides and aminopenicillins), therefore, with prolonged reception, the development of dysbacteriosis is provoked.
Antibiotics from which group is better, it is rather difficult to say. The drugs of the first line (ie those that the doctor appoints first) are penicillin antibiotics. With individual intolerance or expressed resistance of microorganisms to penicillins, second-line drugs - macrolides are used. If, for some reason, macrolide antibiotics are not effective in treating bronchitis, they switch to fluoroquinolones. Usually, treatment is limited to only three of the above groups of antibiotics, but in some cases, tetracyclines, cephalosporins can be used. In different clinical situations, a drug is selected that is optimally suited to specific conditions, taking into account the analyzes, the patient's condition and the severity of the disease.
Sumamed with bronchitis
Sumamed is used in the treatment of various infectious-inflammatory diseases. This drug belongs to the group of macrolides, it is well absorbed into the digestive tract, it has a good ability to penetrate into the blood and bacteria cells. In particular, the preparation penetrates into the cells responsible for immunity, which contributes to its rapid entry into the focus of the infection, where it destroys the causative agents of the disease. In the focus of inflammation, a sufficiently high concentration of the drug is observed, for a long time, not less than three days, which reduced the course of treatment. Sumamed is prescribed a course three days once a day (500 mg), an hour before meals or two hours later. This antibiotic is active against a large number of pathogens of the upper respiratory tract, ENT organs, soft tissues and skin, joints, bones, as well as against ureaplasma, mycoplasmal, chlamydial infections, which are difficult to cope with treatment.
Antibiotics for bronchitis should be prescribed only after preliminary examination of excreta (sputum) on the sensitivity of bacteria. However, in practice, antibacterial drugs with a broad spectrum of action, such as sumamed, are usually immediately prescribed, and if after the analysis it is established that the bacteria are insensitive to this type of antibiotic, the doctor changes it to another antibacterial a drug.
Usually sumamed by patients is well tolerated and does not cause side reactions if all the necessary admission rules are followed. However, adverse reactions still occur in rare cases (as with any other medication): nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain. In the intestine, irritation is not caused by the drug itself, but by a conditionally pathogenic microflora inhabiting the intestine of a person who begins an active life after the destruction of a beneficial microflora. Also intensify the activity of Candida fungus, which threatens the development of candidomycosis (thrush) of the oral cavity, intestines, genital organs and other mucous membranes. Also, Sumamed can disrupt the liver, nervous system (lethargy, insomnia, dizziness, increased excitability, etc.).
In general, sumamed is an effective drug that must be applied correctly and accurately.
Augmentin with bronchitis
Augmentin inhibits the growth of bacteria and acts destructively on microorganisms. The drug refers to the semisynthetic antibiotics of the aminopenicillin group, contains clavulanic acid, which enhances the action of the basic substance. Antibiotic preparation is made in the form of injections, drops, tablets, powder for suspensions. Due to a wide spectrum of action, the drug is used in the treatment of most inflammatory infections caused by bacteria that do not develop resistance to penicillins. Despite the fact that augmentin refers to penicillin antibiotics, its effect on microorganisms is enhanced by clavulanic acid, which blocks the action of beta-lactamase, produced by microorganisms to suppress activity penicillins. As a result, augmentin is effective against a greater number of bacteria than other antibiotics in the bronchitis of the penicillin group.
Adverse reactions in the treatment of augmentin develop quite rarely, in some cases, the emergence of dysbiosis, violations of the liver, nausea, urticaria. Very rarely can anaphylactic shock occur. Do not prescribe augmentin for individual intolerance to penicillins, with hepatic or renal failure, during pregnancy (especially in the first trimester).
The dosage of the drug depends on the patient's condition, the individual sensitivity of the microflora, the age of the patient. For young children (up to a year), the drug is prescribed three times in the form of drops per day for 0, 75 or 1, 25ml. In severe cases, intravenous injections are given every 8 hours. Children 7 - 12 years are prescribed a drug in the form of a syrup or suspension of 5 ml 3 times a day. Children over 12 years of age and adults with a mild and moderate course of the disease are recommended to take the drug three times in the form of tablets per day (by, 75 mg). In severe bronchitis it is recommended to take three times a day, 25 mg (2 tablets). If the hepatic function, the individual dosage of the drug is determined by the attending physician.
Amoxiclav in bronchitis
Amoxiclav is a combined preparation with a wide spectrum of action, it acts perniciously on the majority of microorganisms-pathogens of infectious diseases. Produced by the drug, like many other antibiotics for bronchitis in various forms: tablets, injections, drops and suspensions. The dosage of the drug depends on the age, body weight, severity of the disease. The recommended dose for an adult is 1 tablet three times a day.
Amoxiclav contains an antibiotic of the penicillin series (amoxicillin) and clavulanic acid, which also has a slight antibacterial effect. Due to this, the drug is effective against bacteria that are resistant to penicillin.
Amoxiclav is well absorbed into the digestive tract, penetrates into the blood, from which it enters various tissues, and it also has the ability to penetrate the placenta. The drug is excreted mainly by the kidneys, decomposing into metabolic products. Usually the drug is well tolerated by patients and has virtually no contraindications. You can not use amoxiclav for individual intolerance, violations of the liver, with lymphocytic leukemia, infectious mononucleosis, in children under 12 years (in the form of tablets). After taking the drug in some cases, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headaches may occur, rarely convulsions appear. Also, the drug has the ability to reduce the defenses of the body.
New generation antibiotics for bronchitis
Antibiotics for bronchitis are usually prescribed with a wide range of effects, although the choice of drugs should depend on the results of a laboratory study of sputum. The best way to treat the disease will be that which has a disastrous effect directly on the causative agent of the disease. This approach to treatment is due to the fact that laboratory analysis takes quite a long time (3-5 days), and treatment should be started as early as possible in order to avoid complications.
In bronchitis, the following groups of antibacterial drugs are used:
- penicillins - the composition includes penicillin and substances that enhance their effect. Penicillin drugs have been used in medicine for quite some time. During this period, microorganisms acquired resistance to the action of penicillin, so it became necessary to strengthen the drugs special substances that will block the action of enzymes produced by microorganisms to reduce activity penicillin. Currently, the most effective antibacterial drugs of the penicillin series are panclav, amoxiclav, augmentin.
- macrolides - are usually prescribed when there is an individual penicillin intolerance. Today, erythromycin and clarithromycin are widely used for the treatment of bronchitis.
- Cephalosporins are usually prescribed for obstructive forms of the disease. Modern effective drugs are ceftriaxone, cefuroxime.
- fluoroquinolones - are commonly used in the treatment of bronchitis in chronic form in the stage of exacerbation, it is recommended to begin treatment from the first days. Today, moxifloxacin, levofloxacin, ciprofloxacin are of great efficacy.
The effectiveness of an antibiotic is determined after a laboratory test for the sensitivity of pathogenic microflora.
How to cure bronchitis without antibiotics?
Bronchitis is a widespread disease of the respiratory tract, so there are many recipes of folk medicine that help effectively fight against viruses and bacteria. Antibiotics for bronchitis are usually appointed in case of detection of a bacterial infection. In other cases, treatment with such drugs will harm the body more.
The most first aid to man in the fight against diseases are the well-known products: onions and garlic. Their action has been known to people for a long time. For the treatment of bronchitis, tincture of onions with honey was widely used. To make a medicine, grate the onion, then add the honey (1 part of honey and 3 parts of onions) to it. Take such a drug you need about three times a day for a tablespoon, after 20-25 minutes a field of food.
Also, the sweetly baked bulb is effectively helped to fight the diseases of the respiratory tract according to the old French recipe. For cooking, you need to remove the core from the half-cut bulb and pour a teaspoon of sugar into the cavity, bake in the oven at 150 degrees to caramelize the sugar.
A debilitating cough will help to defeat milk with sage. A glass of milk will require a tablespoon of herbs, the broth should be boiled for about 10 minutes. Then the mixture is filtered and taken in a warm form in half a cup. The broth should be drunk in small sips.
A good hot drink helps in the fight against bronchitis: tea with the addition of honey, viburnum or raspberry, in which there is a lot of vitamin C to maintain immunity. Certainly you need to consume more citrus (lemon, grapefruit). Good anti-inflammatory and supporting the body properties are decoctions of linden, mint, pine buds. A decoction from a mixture of plantain, licorice root, violet, mother-and-stepmother (mixed in equal amounts, then a tablespoon is poured into 200 ml of boiling water, brought to a boil and boiled for 20 minutes slowly fire). The broth is taken about six times a day for 5 tbsp. spoons.
In addition to broths, various inhalations have good efficacy in the treatment of bronchitis, after which dry mucous moisturizes, calms down, coughs die, directly in the hearth inflammation. Inhalations can be carried out with the addition of various essential oils (fir, pine, eucalyptus).
Antibiotics for bronchitis help cope with a disease that is of bacterial origin, i.e. is caused by the activity in the bronchi of various bacteria. With viral bronchitis (for colds, flu), antibiotics are prescribed only in extreme cases, when the disease threatens with severe complications, there is a risk of developing a bacterial infection, etc. Bronchitis with the right approach to treatment is cured within two weeks. To prevent the disease from turning into a heavier form, it is necessary to comply with bed rest, drink enough liquid (mainly teas with the addition of raspberry jam, viburnum, honey, as well as herbal decoctions of mint, linden, chamomile and etc.).

Natural antibiotics
Natural antibiotics not only do not weaken the defenses of the body, but rather strengthen it.
Antibiotics of natural origin have long helped to combat various diseases. With the discovery in the 20th century of antibiotics and the large-scale production of synthetic antibacterial drugs, medicine has learned to fight with severe and incurable diseases. However, how much harm the body is inflicted with antimicrobial drugs should not be underestimated. Natural antibiotics on the contrary, strengthen immunity, gently act on all body systems.
Nature is rich in plant-derived antibiotics with a pronounced antibacterial effect, for example:
- Garlic gives good results in the fight against bacteria and viruses, parasites. The sulfide contained in it diallyl breaks down the bacteria of the genus Campylobacter, which cause poisoning, as well as staphylococci, streptococci, salmonella, typhoid rod, diphtheria bacillus, etc.
- Onion stops the growth of staphylococcus, streptococcus, and others. Also effective for colds.
- Horseradish, thanks to lysozyme, destroys the bacterial membrane and eliminates the infection. Horseradish contains benzylisothiocyanate, a natural antibiotic that helps with diseases of the genitourinary system.
- Radish - destroys the membrane of bacteria, heals wounds and ulcers.
- Lingonberry suppresses the growth of pathogenic bacteria, fungi, and cranberry and cranberry juice is an excellent tool for the prevention of urinary tract infections.
- Garnet is useful in diseases of the stomach, and its bark is brewed and drunk in dysentery as an antibiotic.
- Propolis contains flavonoids and flavonoids, organic acids, which makes it an antibacterial agent with a wide spectrum effects on microorganisms • Mumiye has a powerful antimicrobial effect, is effective against E. coli, staphylococci and etc.
- Aloe Vera contains mucopolysaccharide asmentanan, which strengthens immunity and helps fight infections.
- Chamomile effectively fights inflammation, heals well, besides it is a natural antiseptic.
However, it is important to remember that each plant has contraindications, so before taking decision to be treated, with one or another natural antibiotic, it is better to consult with doctor.
Strongest natural antibiotic
The strongest natural antibiotic is propolis. In extreme cases, when each injury or injury can heal for months, and can often lead to the necrosis of the tissues and the infection of blood, it is necessary to know about natural remedies that fight against infection effectively, there are many natural antibacterial agents and herbs in nature, but not all of them know about it.
Propolis is one of the most powerful natural antibiotics of a wide spectrum. It strengthens the defenses of the body, heals cuts, burns, frostbite, fissures, kills fungi. Based on propolis, it is possible to prepare sufficiently effective antimicrobial agents in domestic or wild conditions.
Propolis ointment. You need 15-20 gr. propolis, 100 gr. oil (olive or any other, most importantly - unrefined). All components must be boiled in a water bath and boiled for an hour, stirring occasionally. After preparation, the mixture must be passed through a paper or fabric filter, and stored in a darkened container in a cool place.
Infusion on propolis. Need 10 gr. propolis insist on 100 ml of water at a temperature of 50 degrees during the day. Infusion can take 2 tablespoons 4 times a day for an hour before a meal.
Propolis is completely safe, but with allergies to honey from medicines based on propolis is better to refuse.
Chinese natural antibiotic
Chinese natural antibiotic - extract "Shuang Huang Lian" is one of the new developments in Chinese medicine. The preparation used as a natural antibiotic and antiseptic includes Japanese honeysuckle (Flos Lonicerae), Baikal skullcap (Radix Scutellanae), etc. Produced in the form of a powder or broth, and in its composition contains only natural ingredients.
Active substances strengthen the immune system, which is important in the treatment of viral respiratory infections, herpes, diseases of the upper respiratory tract (tonsillitis, bronchitis, pneumonia), bacterial damage of the urinary tract ways. The main advantage of an antibacterial medicinal product of natural origin is that it acts only on a direct pathogen of the disease, without disturbing the intestinal microflora and without harming the rest of the organs and systems.
Extract "Shuang Huang Lian" is effective against gram-positive and gram-negative microorganisms, pneumococcus, streptococcus, etc. Take the drug should be 40 minutes before meals, the daily dose is 10-60 ml, you need to take 3-6 times a day, depending on the pathology.
Before taking the Chinese natural antibiotic, you need to consult a doctor and study the instructions in detail, since with an inclination to allergies, intolerance of the components is possible.
Garlic
Natural antibiotic garlic has been defending its title in the fight against various viruses and microorganisms for several decades. Garlic, as a powerful phytoncide, has antiseptic, bactericidal, anti-inflammatory action.
Tincture of garlic is used to treat colitis, atony of the intestine, at high pressure, atherosclerosis, tincture of garlic acts as a cleanser for vessels. To make a tincture, you need 300 gr. garlic pour into a container, liter and pour alcohol. To sustain 3 weeks, after which you can take 20 drops per glass of milk for 3 weeks.
Also, garlic is used for the prevention of epidemics of typhus, dysentery, influenza. Inflammation enemas are a powerful anthelmintic remedy, and garlic paste helps with scabies and eczema. Infusion of garlic on milk is used for bronchitis and pharyngitis - it is not only a firming and antibacterial agent, but also an effective expectorant.
In spring and winter, garlic is used for the prevention of respiratory infections, but it is worth remembering that food can be no more than 2-3 denticles per day, and garlic is contraindicated in diseases of the kidneys, pancreas, acute gastritis.
Cranberry
Natural antibiotic cranberries contain a lot of vitamins and microelements, and in the composition of cranberries there are substances that can regulate the process of blood coagulability. It is enough to use 50-100 gr. berries without sugar or honey per day.
Cranberry tones up the body, strengthens the immune system, regulates the function of the pancreas. It is enough to consume 50-100 ml of juice per day for the prevention of diseases of the urinary system.
Cranberries, as a natural antibacterial agent, have a detrimental effect on many infections. Cranberry and cranberry juice helps to eliminate diseases caused by E. coli, Helicobacter pylori, bacteria of the mouth, causing caries and gingivitis, as well as against viruses that cause colds and parainfluenza, herpes.

Natural antibiotics against inflammation
Natural antibiotics against inflammation are harmoniously combined in one drug - Antivir. The drug has a pronounced bactericidal, antiviral, antiseptic anti-inflammatory, diuretic, choleretic and restorative properties. The structure includes:
The Baikal skullcap grows in Transbaikalia, is used in Tibetan medicine as a restorative, soothing and antipyretic.

Its main advantage is that active antibiotics of natural origin in the preparation destroy bacteria and viruses, without harming the body at the same time.
Natural antibiotics for bronchitis
Natural antibiotics for bronchitis, although not so toxic, but completely build on them a scheme of treatment is not worth it. It is best to use antibiotics as an additional, general restorative therapy. For more than one century, the title of one of the strongest natural antibiotics is garlic. In total, garlic destroys 23 types of pathogenic microorganisms. With bronchitis and respiratory tract infections, you can drink milk infused with 2-3 cloves of garlic. Onion is not much inferior to the antibacterial properties of garlic - it stops the growth and reproduction of the rod of dysentery, diphtheria, tuberculosis, streptococcal, staphylococcal infections. Onion inhalations contribute to the cleansing of the respiratory tract.
Propolis actively fights against microorganisms that cause respiratory diseases - bronchitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, etc. Propolis has no contraindications (except for individual intolerance), it does not develop resistance in pathogenic microorganisms. When bronchitis shows inhalation with propolis, you can also eat inside before going to bed warm milk, which is infused with propolis.
Mumiye is similar in nature to microorganisms with penicillin, but it exceeds its effectiveness several times. In addition, when the mummy is used, the resistance of microorganisms does not develop. Mummies need to drink 2 tablets 3 times a day, for, -1 hour before meals, a course of at least 10 days. However, the use of natural antibiotics for bronchitis can not replace full-fledged therapy, so before taking this or that remedy as the main, it is better to consult a doctor.
Natural antibiotic for cystitis
Such a natural antibiotic for cystitis, like cowberry, is valued for its medicinal properties. In fresh berries, the concentration of vitamin C is very high, but with heat treatment and drying it practically destroys, so it is preferable that the diet contains more fresh berries and cranberry juice. Cowberry berries have catechins, sugars, tannic and pectin components, organic acids - acetic, citric, malic, oxalic and formic, vitamin B2, C. Dried berries can be used in combination with rose hips and mountain ash, and drink as a vitaminized drink.
Berries and cowberry leaves act as a disinfectant and diuretic, are effectively used in the treatment of urolithiasis, cystitis, pyelonephritis. For the treatment of cystitis is based on the use of fresh berries, as a last resort, wet or boiled. Also, active substances in cowberry make potentiate the action of sulfonamides and other antibacterial agents, so fresh lingonberries and cowberry mors are shown in consumption at cystitis and nephritis. Also, cranberry juice inhibits the growth of microorganisms, and also improves appetite. To make lingonberry mors at home is very simple - you need to pour a glass of fresh cowberry with two glasses of water, and warm to boil, adding 4-6 hours. l. sugar, boil another 15 minutes. After that you need to cool the drink a bit and consume Morse with cystitis 2-3 cups per day.
The natural antibiotic for cystitis not only does not harm the body, it also enhances the effect of basic medicines, strengthens the body and replenishes the lack of vitamins.
Natural antibiotic for angina
A natural antibiotic for angina can not be the main treatment. Angina is a very serious disease, not so much because of the course of the disease, but because of the serious complications - the defeat of the heart, joints. Angina refers to acute infectious diseases, characterized by inflammation of the lymph nodes of the oropharynx, fever, severe intoxication. The causative agent of angina is usually streptococcus, but the cause may be staphylococcus and other bacteria. As a supportive antibiotic therapy, patients with angina are shown as often as possible, more than 10 times a day doing gargling. The solution can be used:
- Decoction of natural antibiotics - sage, marigold and chamomile. These plants have antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects against staphylococci and streptococci.
- You can also gargle with a tincture of propolis. To do this, 5-10 drops of alcohol tincture of propolis is diluted in half a cup of warm water and this remedy needs to gargle as often as possible. Propolis also has a powerful antimicrobial and healing effect, and is a natural broad-spectrum antibiotic.
To an angina it is impossible to concern as a trifling disease and to prescribe to itself treatment independently. Strong antibacterial treatment is an obligatory step on the way to recovery, and only a doctor prescribes the necessary antibiotics, based on tests. Natural antibiotics can not give a full bactericidal result, since it is impossible to control a certain concentration in the blood, but as an auxiliary therapy, natural antibiotics for angina quite are appropriate.
Natural antibiotics for sinusitis
Natural antibiotics for sinusitis are used only in severe cases and not as a basic therapy, but as an addition to antibiotics and sulfonamides. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the paranasal sinuses (maxillary sinus). Often, sinusitis occurs as a complication after a cold, the first symptoms are a headache, a feeling of pressure in the nose, nasal congestion, purulent-mucous or purulent exudate from the nose. In general, natural antibacterial agents are prescribed for severe sinusitis. Also, along with sulfonamides, such natural antibacterial agents are administered individually or in combination with each other:

Blend propolis with honey from the mixture obtained, make cakes and attach to the maxillary sinuses, fixing with hypoallergenic adhesive plaster, leave for the night.
If after 3-5 days of therapy there is no improvement, the temperature will hold or even rise, a throbbing headache, you should immediately seek medical help.
Natural antibiotics for coughing
Natural antibiotics for coughing are simply irreplaceable, because there is not always a vital need to consume synthetic antibiotics, because this is an additional burden on the liver, the organs of hematopoiesis, kidneys, besides the systematic use of antibiotics leads to the development dysbiosis. In this situation, natural antibiotics come to the rescue - they act only on the pathogen, while strengthening the body and make up the vitamin deficiency. Raspberries contain vitamins and salicylic acid, which lowers the temperature and helps to relieve inflammation, and also relieves cough. Garlic, rich in flavonoids, one of the most effective folk antibiotics, well helps with colds and coughs. Kalina - a natural antiseptic, helps with angina, flu, bronchitis, pneumonia, violent cough. Tea with raspberries and honey eliminates cough and normalizes the temperature. Radish helps with bronchitis, colds, sore throats, coughs, flu. Radish juice with honey is a good antitussive. There are many more natural antibiotics, similar in effect to synthetic antibiotics (sage, calendula, cedar oil, cranberry, etc.). But, before proceeding to self-management of these drugs, it is better to consult a doctor.
Natural antibiotics for children
Natural antibiotics for children should have such qualities as:
- Gentle effect on the child's body.
- Pleasant, sweet taste (if the antibiotic is applied inward).
This will facilitate the procedure for taking medications, and will not provoke a child hysteria or refusal of treatment. If the child's condition is not severe or if the first signs of a cold appear, then, so as not to poison child with synthetic antibiotics and antiviral drugs, you can give your baby natural antibiotics.
Reduce the temperature and ease cough will help tea with raspberries and honey, you can also eat fresh berries. Also, anti-inflammatory and antitussive effect has viburnum, black currant and its leaves.
With a cold, children can drip into the nose a mixture based on garlic. Finely chopped garlic and onions are poured with boiling water, insist, diluted with warm water, so that the liquid does not burned mucous, then add oil (linseed, pumpkin, sunflower), 2-3 drops of Kalanchoe juice or aloe. Such drops will remove the inflammation and quickly rid the child of a cold. Very small children can be allowed to breathe garlic-onion gruel on a steam bath.

The best natural antibiotics and their use
Currently, there is a huge number of different diseases. Sometimes you can cope with them only with the help of antibiotics. Many people are wary of their reception, because such medications can not only significantly help in treatment, but also harm the body. It turns out that there is a good alternative to synthetic drugs - it's natural antibiotics. We'll talk about them in our article.
What it is
The very first antibiotic, which was synthesized from a mold fungus, is penicillin. It was he who saved millions of lives during the war. Currently, there are a lot of such drugs, each has its own effect on certain groups of microorganisms. Literally "antibiotic" from Greek is translated as "against life".
If to understand, it is really so, because, getting into the body, these drugs destroy not only harmful microorganisms, but also a useful microflora. But there's nothing to be done, with many diseases without them simply can not do.
Harm to synthetic antibiotics
During the course of treatment with antibiotics, it is almost always possible to observe side effects. In some, they are weaker, others stronger. Everything here depends on the state of the body and the immune system.
Among the most common phenomena can be noted:
- Dysbacteriosis, since the beneficial intestinal microflora is destroyed on a par with the pathogenic.
- The immune system suffers.
- There is an inability to absorb certain foods.
- Disturbed intestinal microflora.
All this can practically be guaranteed with a controlled intake of antibiotics, but what if the person takes such medicines for any reason and without prescribing a doctor? With special care to receive such drugs should be treated pregnant women, if they want to give birth to a healthy child.
Natural antibiotics
Since ancient times, people used medicinal plants for the treatment of various diseases. At first it was on an intuitive level, but gradually the experience in the use of herbal medicines was accumulated, it was passed on from generation to generation. Now each of us has a choice - to use a natural antibiotic against inflammation or go to the pharmacy and buy a synthetic one.
A lot of familiar herbs, vegetables, fruits in their composition contain substances that are close in their action to antibiotics. They are quite capable of helping in the fight against unwanted microorganisms as well as pharmaceutical preparations.
Only the difference will be that natural gifts will not reward our body with a bunch of side effects. Although, as with conventional medications, before receiving treatment with natural antibiotics, it is necessary to get consultation with the attending physician. These substances, although of natural origin, but they also have their contraindications to the application!

- Ginseng, or rather the root of this plant, has been known since ancient times as an excellent natural antibiotic. Its extract is included in many drugs that are aimed at fighting viruses and bacteria.
- Mustard has good anti-inflammatory properties, so it is successfully used in the fight against colds.
- Black radish is a good anti-cold remedy, it also differs in its antiseptic properties.
The medicinal substances contained in these plants are antibiotics of natural origin, therefore you can use them almost all, of course, you need to focus on their chronic disease. In some cases, it may be necessary to restrict or prohibit the use of a particular herbal preparation. Always consult a doctor!
Antibiotics from nature to enhance immunity
Most folk healers believe that the best natural antibiotics are found in the following plants and foods:
- Horseradish is distinguished by its powerful antimicrobial properties, it contains enzymes and mustard oil. They are activated by grinding and together form the strongest natural antibiotic - allylic oil.
- The antiviral qualities of cranberries have been known for a long time, it is a powerful antibiotic that will help get rid of bacteria, especially those found in the genitourinary tract.
- Even children know that garlic is good at fighting bacteria. This is especially true during the cold epidemics. The substances contained in this plant can even protect our body from cancer cells.
- Blueberries contain a good natural antibiotic against inflammation. It is rightly called natural aspirin. Berry doctors are recommended to use to clear the urinary tract from bacteria.
- Almost everyone during a cold tries to drink more tea with raspberries. The ability to neutralize fungi, spores of yeast and Staphylococcus aureus makes it an excellent anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent.
All these natural antibiotics and their use are known to mankind from ancient times, even the abundance of synthetic drugs could not push them.
Mold fungi in the service of medicine
These substances have long been successfully obtained from various types of mold fungi of the genus Penicillium. Usually penicillins work well on Gram-positive microorganisms, which include:
- Streptococci.
- Staphylococci.
- Diphtheria causative agents.
- Pale treponema.
- Gonococci and others.
Antibiotics - natural penicillins - often find their application in the fight against the following diseases:
- Angina.
- Scarlet fever.
- Pneumonia.
- Diphtheria.
- Meningitis.
- Purulent infections.
- Gas gangrene.
- Actinomycosis.
As a supplement to the main treatment, penicillins are used in the therapy of syphilis, as a preventive agent during exacerbations of rheumatic diseases. Penicillins are quite popular as natural antibiotics, and their use should be done with considering that they are powerless against staphylococcal infections, because they are destroyed penicillinases.
Varieties of natural penicillins
All natural penicillins can be divided into two large groups.
1. For a transdermal injection:
- Drugs of short duration: benzylpenicillin sodium salt.
- Long-acting: benzylpenicillin novocaine salt.
2. Preparations for enteral administration. These include "Phenoxymethylpenicillin".
Depending on the variety of microorganisms, penicillins of different groups may be prescribed.
Natural antibiotic in the fight against tuberculosis
Healing properties of propolis are known to all. Especially it has recommended itself as a natural antibiotic for tuberculosis. Preparations based on propolis have many properties, for example:
- Destroy the pathogens of tuberculosis.
- They have a restorative effect on the whole organism.
- They have excellent antitumour properties.
- Increase the regeneration of tissues.
A distinctive feature of propolis as a natural antibiotic is that in the process of destroying the pathogenic microflora, the native remains intact and unharmed. About a dysbacteriosis it is possible to not recollect.
Often during therapy, a joint use of synthetic antibiotics and propolis is prescribed. The latter helps accelerate recovery, as it enhances the effect of drugs. Propolis also surprisingly increases the excretion of foreign cells from the body, which prevents the poisoning of products by their vital functions.
More recently, scientists from Switzerland have been able to isolate natural antibiotics to fight a tubercle bacillus from the bacterium Dactylosporangium fulvum, which lives in the soil. These microorganisms are able to synthesize a natural antibiotic called pyridomycin.
From all previous drugs, he is distinguished for his activity against those types of tuberculosis pathogens that can not be treated with synthetic antibiotics. It can be considered that this is a new step in the treatment of such a serious disease as tuberculosis. Thus, natural antibiotics for pulmonary tuberculosis may prove to be irreplaceable in treatment.
Treatment of inflammatory diseases in bronchi with natural antibiotics
Bronchitis can be attributed to those diseases that occur with an enviable frequency in children and adults. To my great regret, recently many have developed a similar problem into a chronic one. Synthetic antibiotics played a significant role in this.
Signs of bronchitis are not the same in different people, but after the diagnosis is made it often happens that the doctor, without determining the cause of this condition, prescribes antibiotics. It is believed that such treatment will not be superfluous.
But quite a lot of forms of bronchitis are caused not just by bacteria, but by viruses or allergens in general. In this case, the appointment of antibiotics - just an extra blow to the immune system. Recovery does not occur, but the adaptation of bacteria to the medicine will not keep you waiting.
If the disease is not exactly provoked by microorganisms, then natural antibiotics for bronchitis are quite capable of much more help than synthetic ones.
If there is such a diagnosis as bronchitis, then you can resort to the help of the following assistants:
- Bow. This natural antibiotic perfectly copes with the duty to stop the process of reproduction of pathogenic bacteria. In addition, the phytoncides in the vegetable cleans the respiratory tract well.
- Horseradish is an irreplaceable healer during bronchitis. The lysozyme contained in it, quickly copes with bacteria, destroying their cell wall.
- All known garnet can be used not only as a treat, but also as an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial agent. Antibiotics in this fruit are able to selectively destroy only the pathogenic microflora.
- Probably, there is no such disease, in which the viburnum would not be able to help. This plant well destroys bacteria, viruses, increases immunity.
- Aloe can often be found on windowsills in urban apartments, but not everyone knows that this plant in its composition has a substance that extinguishes viruses, fungi, has antiseptic properties. Aloe increases immunity, so it is indispensable in the treatment of protracted bronchitis.
- Mummy is very similar to propolis in its action. It has already been proven that it contains a powerful antibiotic, which by its characteristics is many times greater than penicillin. Take it usually courses, as there is a stimulating effect.
- Chamomile is also an excellent natural antibiotic. It turns out that it can not only be guessed, but also used with great success in the treatment of colds, in particular bronchitis. It is not only a strong antiseptic and anti-inflammatory agent, but also a good expectorant.
- If you plant a sage on your personal plot, you will always have a natural antibiotic at your fingertips. Grass contains essential oils, they are excellent at coping with viruses and bacteria.
Do not forget that all natural antibiotics do not have a negative effect on the body, although there may be contraindications to some, so a doctor's consultation is mandatory!
The use of natural remedies in the treatment of children
If adults, as a rule, without hesitation, begin to take synthetic antibiotics, which the doctor appointed, then when treating children with this, one must be doubly cautious. That's why most parents try to find ways and means to replace drugs with more natural means.
In such situations, a natural antibiotic for children comes to the rescue. You can make the following list:
- Honey. This curative delicacy has always and at all times been used for medicinal purposes. The scientists found defensin-1 in it. This component, which bees are added when creating honey, has a powerful stimulating effect on immune system, and is also capable of killing many bacteria that drugs can not cope with.
- Not contraindicated for children and propolis. It is used in the form of tinctures and drops in the fight against viral and bacterial infections.
- Various berries that children usually eat with great pleasure. You can combine business with pleasure and allow the child to eat raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, viburnum, currants. The natural antibiotics contained in them will cope with the infection much faster and safer than the drugs from the pharmacy.
- Among the herbs that are recommended for use in the treatment of children, you can call calendula, aloe, lobaznik. Tinctures and decoctions of them perfectly kill bacteria, viruses, fungi, so they are indispensable in the treatment of colds and infectious diseases.
- Aromatic oils can be used even without the knowledge of the baby. It is enough to place them in the aroma-lamp, and the healing process will go much faster. The strongest antiviral and antibacterial properties are fir oil, pine, eucalyptus.
What natural antibiotics to choose for the treatment of a child, each mother should decide together with the pediatrician. Such funds can significantly help in the fight against viruses and bacteria. At the same time, they will not have a harmful effect on an organism that has not yet gained strength. Be healthy!

Antibiotics for bronchitis
The thunderstorm of the autumn-spring period is bronchitis. Often it begins with a common cold and other respiratory diseases - sore throat or sinusitis. How to treat bronchitis correctly, only the doctor will say. Many people avoid using strong medicines and are treated with folk remedies. Often this is the reason for the transition of manifestations of bronchitis in the chronic course of the disease. Antibiotics for bronchitis should not be taken alone - be sure to contact your doctor.
Scheme of treatment of bronchitis and pneumonia with antibiotics
Treatment of inflammation of the respiratory tract is carried out in a hospital or outpatient. Light bronchitis is successfully eliminated at home, chronic or acute manifestations require hospitalization. Bronchitis and pneumonia are insidious diseases, so do not self-medicate. For adults and children, doctors prescribe different antibiotics and apply different healing procedures. Thus, antibiotics for bronchitis and the treatment regimen depend on:
- age;
- having a tendency to allergies;
- the nature of the disease (acute, chronic);
- type of pathogen;
- parameters of the drugs used (speed and spectrum of action, toxicity).
Antibiotics powerfully affect the human body, and their thoughtless use can harm, not help. For example, the use of strong drugs in the prevention of bronchitis can have the opposite effect. The constant intake of antibiotics inhibits immunity, promotes the emergence of dysbiosis, adaptation of strains of the disease to the drugs used. Therefore, it can not be said that antibiotics are the best remedy for bronchitis. Treatment of obstructive bronchitis with antibiotics is prescribed in the case of:
- if there is a high temperature (more than 38 degrees), which lasts longer than 3 days;
- purulent sputum;
- protracted nature of the disease - treatment for longer than a month does not bring recovery.
- manifesting severe symptoms during exacerbation.
- if the analysis of sputum revealed pathogens, bacterial or atypical nature.
In adults
What antibiotics to drink in adults with bronchitis? A specific treatment regimen is used based on the severity of the disease, its course and the age of the patient. With bronchitis of acute type, drugs of penicillin group are prescribed - Amoxicillin, Erythromycin. With chronic it is possible to use Amoxiclav, Augmentin. If this group of drugs does not help, they switch to the use of Rovamycin, Sumamed and others.
For the elderly, Flemoxin, Azithromycin, Suprax, Ceftriaxone are prescribed. If sputum analysis was not performed, then a wide range of antibiotics are preferred: Ampicillin, Streptocillin, Tetracycin, etc. After the analysis, the doctor prescribes directed drugs. The decision on what antibiotics to take when bronchitis in adults is taken by the attending physician. In any case, the following treatment principles should be adhered to:
- Drugs are taken strictly according to the instructions (dosage, schedule) at regular intervals.
- It is unacceptable to skip the reception of tablets.
- If the symptoms of bronchitis have disappeared - you can not arbitrarily stop treatment.
Children
Unlike adults, the treatment of bronchitis in children with antibiotics is extremely undesirable and dangerous. It is allowed to use drugs only if there is a suspicion of an infectious type of disease. Children should take penicillin group drugs. For children with asthma, the use of azithromycin, erythromycin is allowed. In the rest the treatment scheme of the child is standard and is aimed at eliminating symptoms. Assign:
- bed rest, child care;
- drugs to reduce temperature;
- means for eliminating cough and sore throat;
- application of traditional medicine.
Groups of antibacterials of new generation
Penicillins (oxacillin, ampicillin, ticarcillin, piperacillin). The group of drugs includes such as "Amoxiclav "Augmentin "Panklav etc. They have a bactericidal effect, they affect the formation of the protein wall of a harmful bacterium, as a result of which it dies. Preparations with it are considered the safest. The only negative is the ability to excite allergic reactions. If the disease is started and the drugs with penicillin do not have the proper effect, then they switch to strong drugs.
Macrolides. An extensive group of drugs, which include erythromycin, oleandomycin, midecamycin, dirithromycin, telithromycin, roxithromycin, clarithromycin. The brightest representatives of macrolides on the pharmacological market are preparations "Erythromycin "Claricin "Sumamed". The mechanism of action is directed to the disturbance of the vital activity of the microbial cell. In terms of safety, macrolides are less harmful than tetracyclines, fluoroquinols, more dangerous than penicillins, but they are good for people who are allergic. In combination with penicillins reduce their effectiveness.
Fluoroquinolones (pefloxacin, lomefloxacin, sparfloxacin, hemifloxacin, moxifloxacin). On the market, the drugs are presented by "Afelox "Afenoxin and medications that are of the same name with the main active substance, for example, "Moxifloxacin". This group is used as a medicine for bronchitis. It is prescribed only if the previous two groups of antibiotics did not affect the causative agent of the disease.
Cephalosporins (active substances - cephalexin, cefaclor, cefoperazone, cefepime). According to the type of pathogen, the patient is prescribed "Cefalexin "Cefuroxime axetil "Cefotaxime". Limited to the effect on some pathogens. For example, such antibiotics absolutely do not affect pneumococci, chlamydia, microplasmas, listeria. Preparations of the first generation are practically not absorbed into the blood, and therefore are administered in the form of injections.
Which antibiotics are the most effective?
Amoxicillin. Form release - capsules and granules. Adults take 500 mg (1-2 capsules) 3 times a day, if the bronchitis in severe form is doubled to 1000 mg. The child is prescribed from 100 to 250 mg per day, depending on the age. To facilitate admission for children, a suspension is prepared - in half a glass of water, the antibiotic is diluted and shaken. The method of intake is only oral, by injection the drug is not administered.

Antibiotics for bronchitis: indications for use
Bronchitis - acute or chronic inflammation of the bronchial mucosa. Dry, wetting, coughing, fever, fever, malaise are the main symptoms of this disease. The most common cause of acute bronchitis is a bacterial or viral infection. Chronic bronchitis is already a complication of the acute, or the body's response to long-acting irritating factors (for example, dust).
Unfortunately, not only many lay people, but also doctors do not pay much attention to the differences between acute bronchitis, respiratory viral infections, complications of chronic lung diseases and pneumonia. Therefore, antibiotics for bronchitis and pneumonia are prescribed routinely, practically to every patient. But if the inflammation of the lungs is the real reason for antibiotic therapy, then with bronchitis it's not so simple.Do you need antibiotics for bronchitis?
Recently, a group of European and American clinics conducted an evidence-based scientific study (meta-analysis). As a result, it was found that antibiotics for bronchitis are practically useless. Their effectiveness in adult patients does not exceed the efficacy of placebo. Whatever is given to patients (antibiotic or substancepacifier"), cough and fever passed in them for the same period of time. And in some cases, bronchodilators (eg, salbutamol) showed the greatest efficacy, leading to a speedy recovery, rather than antibiotics or a placebo. Thus, in most cases, a patient with acute bronchitis will benefit from copious drinking, bed rest and symptomatic treatment (bronchodilators and expectorants).
Does this mean that antibacterial therapy is not prescribed at all? No, it's not. Antibiotics for bronchitis are used most diverse, but the most effective are semi-synthetic, broad spectrum of action, and also drugs that are a combination with inhibitors of lactamases, for example, "Augmentin" (incidentally, the main antibacterial agent for treatment of various respiratory diseases), "Ampicillin" Amoxiclav "Amotide" Amoxicillin and also "Osmapox" Hiconcil group aminoglycosides. In exceptional cases, gentamicin is used. It is good for a severe bacterial or mixed infection, especially against the background of weakened immunity, and also in case of resistance of bacteria to other antibiotics. The weak side of gentamicin is its toxicity and its ability to cause numerous complications.
How and when to apply antibiotics correctly for bronchitis?
At present, clear indications have been established for use in the bronchitis of this group of drugs. These include: the age of the patient to 1 year or more than 60 years (the cause - the general weakness of the body and immunity), exacerbation of chronic bronchitis (especially obstructive, that is, one that occurs with constriction, more precisely, spasm of small and large bronchi), severe intoxication (in particular, found in a blood test leukocytosis). In children, especially younger children, antibiotics are recommended for use in the presence of strong symptoms of intoxication and prolonged fever (fever), which lasts more than three days. Children's antibiotics for bronchitis are usually pure amoxicillin or preferable to amoxicillin clavulanate (augmentin), and with ineffective treatment or intolerance - cephalosporins or macrolides. Of the most effective drugs recently used amoxicillin in combination with clavulanic acid. The first substance actively destroys microbes, and the second protects it from corrosive enzymes of bacteria.

Antibiotics for bronchitis in children and adults
Bronchitis is a common disease that in recent years has been chronic in the population, and the signs of bronchitis in adults vary and depend on many factors.
Before the treatment of bronchitis it is necessary to find out the cause that caused the disease. Unfortunately, antibiotics for adults are prescribed empirically in adults, and in some states their purpose is completely inappropriate.
It is known that bronchitis without antibiotics is easily treated if the inflammation has a viral origin, since the virus is not treated with antibacterial agents.
If you take antibiotics during ARVI - this only interferes with the body's defense mechanisms to fight the virus, they depress immune system, lead to the development of dysbacteriosis, allergies, develop the resistance of microorganisms to the drug drug.
Depending on the type of bronchitis the doctor is prescribed the appropriate treatment:
Types of bronchitis
- Acute bronchitis
It is an inflammatory process in the bronchi that occurs most often against the background of Orvi, the flu. With a normal immune response, the body can cope with the virus and in this case antibiotics are not shown. But with the accession of a bacterial infection - pneumococci, staphylococci, streptococci, with a severe course of acute bronchitis without antibiotics is indispensable. Symptoms of acute bronchitis: purulent sputum (yellow or green) with a strong cough, temperature 3, -3, C, chest pain. The doctor prescribes expectorants, mucolytic agents for improving the excretion of sputum (bromhexine, lazolvan, chest collection), showing inhalation. With a dry, painful, unproductive cough, the anticancer preparations are shown (Sinekod, Libexin). Well helps therapeutic exercises, physiotherapy, vibrating massage. With timely and adequate treatment, the disease passes quickly, residual phenomena in the form of a cough may persist for 3-4 weeks after the illness.
- Chronical bronchitis
If the number of days of illness in two years exceeds three months, such bronchitis is considered chronic. It is distinguished by the presence of a strong cough with mucus. This can be due to smoking (see. lung cancer and smoking), occupational hazard, allergic reaction and respiratory tract infections.
Separately stands out atypical forms of bronchitis. Mycoplasmal and chlamydial bronchitis are special types of inflammation of the bronchi and lungs, which are caused by such atypical pathogens as chlamydia and mycoplasma. Recently, these bronchitis have become more often diagnosed. Mycoplasmal and chlamydial bronchitis and pneumonia develop slowly, are accompanied by intoxication, have a recurrent and protracted nature, are difficult to treat. In patients other than cough, there is a high body temperature, chills, muscle aches.

Acute bronchitis | Viral etiology | Expectorants, Inhalation Bed rest Abundant drink Bronchitis without antibiotics |
Chronic uncomplicated bronchitis | Less than 4 exacerbations per year | Aminopenicillins Macrolides |
Chronic complicated bronchitis | More than 4 relapses per year, the patient's age is more than 65 years | Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav Cephalosporins Macrolides |
Chronic bronchitis with concomitant diseases | The presence of chronic diseases, diabetes, kidney, heart failure | Fluoroquinolones (in resistant flora, contraindicated in children) |
Chlamydia bronchitis | It develops in children and in adults with weakened immunity | Tetracyclines Macrolides Fluoroquinolones |
Mycoplasma bronchitis | It develops in children and in adults with weakened immunity | Macrolides |
- Aminopenicillins - first-line drugs
- Macrolides - second-line drugs

- Fluoroquinolones - appointed with inefficiency, allergic reactions to the first 2 rows
Levofloxacin (price 430-670 rub.), Ofloksatsin (price 30 - 170 rubles.), Moxifloxacin (Avelox price 1100-1200 rub.). Quite expensive drugs, refer to antibiotics of a wide spectrum of action, are contraindicated to children, cause dysbacteriosis, are considered to be preparations of the reserve.

What is the best antibiotic for bronchitis?
This is the one to which the causative agent of the disease is most sensitive. How to determine this, and what antibiotics to drink with bronchitis? The most correct choice of a drug will be after the result of bacterial culture of phlegm on sensitivity to antibacterial agents. The disadvantage of such an analysis is the duration of the result, as well as the fact that the analysis is not done because of savings in reagents or lack of laboratories. Most often, the doctor prescribes a broad spectrum antibiotic according to the standard of treatment.
Antibiotics for children
The use of antimicrobial agents in children with colds is unacceptable, their administration is justified only in case of complication development:
- This may be the case when after the flu virus, ARVI after 4-5 days, the deterioration of the general condition of the child, the rise of high fever, a wet cough with purulent sputum. In this case, call a doctor.
- The safest and most effective drugs that can be prescribed for children are aminopenicillins and macrolides. Cephalosporins and macrolides are prescribed if there is an allergy to penicillins.
- During and after taking antibiotics, the child should take probiotic drugs in between using antibiotics, and after end of the course of treatment to continue the use of Bifiform, Rio Flora Immuno, Acipola, Bifidumbacterin, Linex for another 2-4 weeks (cm. a complete list of probiotics, analogues of Linesque).
The main rules for taking antibiotics
- Continuity of the course of treatment. The doctor evaluates the patient's condition and determines the duration of therapy, usually enough 5-7 days, with macrolide treatment - 5 days.
- Take exactly the time. It is necessary to observe the frequency of reception and maintain the same time intervals (24, 12, 8, 6 hours), that is, if an antibiotic is prescribed 3 times a day, then it is taken every 8 hours. This is necessary to maintain a constant concentration of the drug in the blood. Some antibiotics should be drunk 1 time per day (every 24 hours), others 2 (every 12 hours), some three (8 hours).
- Monitor the effect of the antibiotic. If there is no improvement within 72 hours, then the causative agent to this antibacterial agent is stable and should be changed.
- Continue treatment 2-3 days after the obvious improvement, recovery (see, for example, 11 rules for the correct intake of antibiotics).
For any malaise, cough, temperature, always consult a doctor. Distinguish manifestations of diseases, differentiate the disease, which drug should be chosen better for bronchitis and how to correctly take it, only a specialist can do it. Trust doctors, then you will not have to deal with the situation of complications from untimely or incorrect treatment, as well as with unreasonable intake of medications.
