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 symptoms.
Hand Hygiene
- Hand hygiene is effective in reducing pathogen circulation.
Physical barriers
- Physical controls, such as masks, gowns, gloves and eye wear, may reduce the rate of transmission.
Vaccination
Vitamin A
- There is evidence to support that prescribing vitamin A may help to reduce the risk of lower respiratory tract infections in children.[3]
