Overview
Environmental control,hands hygiene, physical barriers and vaccination for common causes may reduce the risk of acute bronchitis acquiring.
Primary prevention
Effective measures for the primary prevention of acute bronchitis include environmental measures,hand hygiene,physical barriers and vaccination[1][2].
Environmental control
- Cigarette smoking, fumes and aerosols can irritate the airways and aggravate the symptoms.
Hand Hygiene
- It is effective to reduce the pathogen circulation.
Physical barriers
- Physical controls such as: masks, gowns, gloves and eye wears will reduce the rate of transmission.
Vaccination
Vitamin A
- There are evidences that support prescribing Vitamin A will help to reduce the risk of lower respiratory tract infections in children[3].
