What should I do if my child has diarrhea and then coughs?

Children who have diarrhea and then cough may be due to bad gas stimulation, unreasonable diet, allergies, bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., which can be improved through general treatment and drug treatment. When this phenomenon occurs, parents should take their children to see a doctor in time.

1. Bad gas stimulation:

If children are exposed to secondhand smoke for a long time after suffering from diarrhea, or are in a severely polluted environment for a long time, it will irritate the respiratory mucosa and cause coughing. They should leave the bad environment in time and open windows to ventilate the living environment to maintain air circulation, which can relieve symptoms.

2. Unreasonable diet:

Children often eat spicy food such as spicy strips, peppers, and spicy hot pot after diarrhea, which can easily irritate the respiratory mucosa and cause symptoms such as coughing and dry throat. It is necessary to avoid the above foods and try to eat a light and easily digestible diet to prevent this phenomenon.

3. Allergies:

If a child has an allergic constitution and comes into contact with allergens such as animal fur and pollen after suffering from diarrhea, it may stimulate the body to have an allergic reaction, such as persistent cough, skin itching, erythema, etc., you can take loratadine syrup, chlorpheniramine maleate tablets, diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets and other drugs as prescribed by the doctor, which can play an anti-allergic effect.

4. Bronchitis:

Children with diarrhea have poor body resistance and may be infected by pathogens, which may cause this disease. Under the continuous stimulation of inflammation, the bronchial mucosa becomes congested and swollen, which may induce dry cough, sore throat, dry throat and other symptoms. You can take oseltamivir phosphate granules, amoxicillin granules, cefuroxime axetil granules and other drugs for treatment according to the doctor's advice. The above drugs should be brewed with warm water as much as possible to retain the drug ingredients.

5. Pneumonia:

If children do not take personal protection measures when going out, they may be infected by a variety of pathogens, which may lead to pneumonia. After becoming ill, the tissues around the lungs are damaged, and they may have symptoms such as coughing, fever, and decreased appetite. Under the doctor's guidance, they can use ribavirin injection, ceftriaxone sodium injection, cefoperazone sodium and sulbactam sodium injection and other drugs for treatment. All of the above drugs need to be administered intravenously, and the injection site should be kept clean and dry as much as possible.

Because children are young and have weaker body resistance, they should try to avoid participating in crowded public activities to reduce the chance of getting sick.
