Objectives: Acute bronchitis is a common inflammatory disease with symptoms related to temporary inflammation of the airways. It is caused by a viral infections in over 95% of cases. A small minority of cases are caused by bacteria; however, there is little evidence that antibiotics are effective in the treatment of the condition. This report is a case of administering Dojukgangki-tang to three patients with acute bronchitis.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with acute bronchitis were treated with Dojukgangki-tang, and the effects were studied using the bronchitis severity scale (BSS) and acute bronchitis severity scale (ABBS).
Results: After treatment with Dojukgangki-tang for 2 weeks, average BSS score changed from 11.33±2.08 to 1.67±1.15. Average ABSS score decreased from 9.00±3.00 to 2.00±1.00.
Conclusions: This study suggests that Dojukgangki-tang is effective in relieving coughs and sputum related to acute bronchitis.
