Although cough is not a serious disease, it can make the body feel very uncomfortable once you have it. The weather is unpredictable, which will reduce people's resistance, especially for babies, who are more likely to feel uncomfortable. Some medicines cannot be used when babies are sick, so it is more troublesome to treat them. So what should I do if my baby keeps coughing?

Cough caused by the common cold

Most of the coughs are irritating, like itchy throat, without phlegm; day and night, not accompanied by wheezing or rapid breathing. The baby is sleepy, runny nose, sometimes accompanied by fever, body temperature does not exceed 38 degrees; poor spirit, loss of appetite, sweating and fever, symptoms disappear, coughing still lasts for 3-5 days.

It is common in all seasons and when the temperature difference changes greatly. Generally, there is a cold experience, such as kicking the quilt when sleeping at night, wearing too little clothes, taking a cold bath, etc. Generally, no special treatment is required. Feed the baby more warm boiled water, ginger water or onion water. Use cold medicine as little as possible. When the baby is irritable and has a fever, give a little Xiaoerxin orally; avoid using adult antipyretic drugs, cough syrup, cough tablets and other cough medicines, and do not abuse antibiotics.

Cold air irritation cough

The cough is initially an irritating dry cough. The sputum is light, there is no fever, no shortness of breath and other accompanying symptoms. Cold air is a purely physical factor that stimulates the respiratory mucosa and causes an irritating cough. It is more common in babies who do not have much outdoor activities. When a baby suddenly goes out and inhales a small amount of cold air, the delicate respiratory tract will experience congestion, edema, exudation and other inflammatory reactions, thus inducing a cough reflex. There is no microbial infection at first, but if it lasts for a long time, it may be secondary to viral and bacterial infections.

Train your baby's ability to accept temperature changes from an early age. Take your baby outdoors frequently, even in the cold winter. Only a trained respiratory tract can withstand the stimulation of cold air.

Flu-induced cough

The throat produces a slightly hoarse cough that tends to get worse, with sputum increasing from a small amount to a large amount. It is accompanied by obvious clattering symptoms (increased tears, mucus, and respiratory secretions), often accompanied by a high fever of more than 38 degrees, which is generally difficult to reduce.
