What should I do if my child has autumn diarrhea and coughs at the same time?

When a child has just recovered from autumn diarrhea and then develops coughing symptoms, treatment is required according to the different causes. If the symptoms are mild, no special treatment is generally required, but if the symptoms are more severe, it is recommended to go to the hospital in time and use drugs for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

1. Mild symptoms

1. Diet care: If the child has only a mild cough and no other discomfort symptoms, he can drink some warm water to replenish the body's water and help relieve the cough symptoms. At the same time, you should also pay attention to a reasonable diet, try to eat light food, such as millet porridge, egg soup, etc., and avoid eating greasy or spicy food, such as fried chicken, chili, etc., so as not to aggravate the condition.

2. Lifestyle adjustments: Pay attention to keeping warm in daily life. As the weather changes, add or remove clothes in time to avoid catching a cold. At the same time, you should keep the indoor air circulating, open windows for ventilation regularly, ensure adequate sleep, avoid staying up late, and develop good living habits.

2. Severe symptoms

1. Anti-infection drugs: If the above methods are not effective or the symptoms continue to worsen, you can follow the doctor's advice to use antibiotics such as amoxicillin granules and cefixime granules to control the infection. In case of secondary respiratory tract inflammation, you can also combine it with expectorant drugs such as ambroxol hydrochloride oral solution for treatment.

2. Antitussive and antiasthmatic drugs: When children's frequent coughing affects their rest and sleep, they can take antitussive drugs such as compound pholcodine oral solution and dextromethorphan hydrobromide syrup as prescribed by the doctor if necessary. However, be careful not to abuse these antitussive drugs to avoid suppressing the central nervous system and causing symptoms such as difficulty breathing.

3. Others: In addition to autumn diarrhea and cough, some children may also experience digestive tract symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. At this time, you can use Bifidobacterium Triple Live Bacteria Powder under the guidance of a doctor to regulate intestinal flora and promote disease recovery.

4. Intravenous infusion: If a child's autumn diarrhea causes serious imbalance of water and electrolytes, or even causes hyponatremia, dehydration, etc., he or she needs to seek medical attention in time and receive intravenous rehydration to prevent further aggravation of the water and electrolyte imbalance.

There are many clinical reasons for this phenomenon. Parents need to observe their children's mental state and bowel movements, and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment after a clear diagnosis.
