What should I do if my child keeps coughing? How should I treat my child's constant cough?

Since children's throat and lung functions are not yet fully developed and are still in a relatively fragile development, they are prone to coughing and sputum due to colds, or coughing due to other diseases. So what should we do if children keep coughing?

1. What should I do if my child keeps coughing?

1. Control the primary disease

Since children's cough is likely caused by a variety of reasons, it is necessary to control the primary disease first during the treatment process to prevent the cough from becoming more serious. In addition, it is necessary to prescribe the right medicine and check the cause of the cough before better treatment can be carried out.

2. Pay attention to your diet

Children with coughs should eat a light diet and avoid spicy foods that irritate the throat. They should eat more fruits and vegetables to supplement the body's nutrition and fiber. Excessively spicy foods can easily cause secondary irritation to the throat, making the cough worse.

3. Take more rest

Since children are weak, they need to rest and recuperate to maintain good health. They also need to eat light food. They need a quiet environment and good ventilation at home. This will give them a better place to rest.

2. What is the disease of children who keep coughing?

1. Whooping cough

If your child often coughs, it may be whooping cough. Whooping cough coughs come in waves. After coughing violently for about 30 seconds, you will feel difficulty breathing. And when a child has whooping cough, not only will the cough intensify, but it is also easy to have fever, nasal congestion, red and swollen eyes, etc. At this time, timely treatment is needed to prevent whooping cough from continuing to worsen.

2. Inhalation of foreign matter

Foreign objects inhaled into the throat can also easily cause coughing. When a child is only coughing and does not have a runny nose or fever, it is necessary to observe whether the child has inhaled foreign objects into the throat. Especially for younger children, it is very likely that foreign objects are put into the mouth, which can easily cause coughing.

3. Pharyngitis

Pharyngitis and cough are very common. Pharyngitis can easily occur due to colds and chills. In addition, due to eating irritating foods, the lungs become dry and hot, which can easily lead to coughing and runny nose. Timely treatment is required at this time.
