Abstract
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 $11.33{\pm}2.08$ to $1.67{\pm}1.15$. Average ABSS score decreased from $9.00{\pm}3.00$ to $2.00{\pm}1.00$. Conclusions: This study suggests that Dojukgangki-tang is effective in relieving coughs and sputum related to acute bronchitis.
