What are the causes of cough in children?

The causes of children's cough include environmental stimulation, allergies, infections, etc. Proper improvement of diet and adjustment of living environment can promote the improvement of symptoms. If the symptoms persist, seek medical attention in time.

Causes of cough in children:

1. Environmental irritation: If the ambient air is too dry or there are residual irritating gases in the air, it may affect the moisture level of the respiratory mucosa, causing an irritating cough, accompanied by dry throat, itchy throat and other discomforts.

2. Allergies: Common in people with allergic constitutions. After being exposed to allergic substances in the air, they will cause related reactions. In addition to coughing, they may also be accompanied by rashes, skin itching, etc. Common allergens include dust mites, pollen, animal fur, etc.

3. Infection: If the upper respiratory tract is infected by viruses or bacteria, the mucosa will be stimulated by pathogens and undergo changes such as edema and congestion, which will in turn cause symptoms such as dry throat, sore throat, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache.

Notes on children's cough:

In addition to the above common causes, children's cough may also be related to congenital tracheal and bronchial abnormalities. It is necessary to pay attention to it, treat it symptomatically in time, and avoid strenuous exercise in life.
