What to do if your child keeps coughing

A child's cough that does not go away may be caused by upper respiratory tract infection, acute bronchitis, pneumonia and other factors. Clinically, the condition can be improved through drug treatment. During the treatment, the child should pay more attention to drinking water and keep a light diet.

Causes and treatments of cough in children:

1. Upper respiratory tract infection: Children's immune organs are not fully developed, and their physical constitution is poor, making them susceptible to infection by external pathogens. Once infected, they may develop upper respiratory tract infection. Due to the continuous stimulation of local inflammation, children may cough. Clinically, children's cough caused by upper respiratory tract infection can be treated with drugs according to the doctor's advice. Commonly used drugs include Lianhua Qingwen Capsules and Pudilan Anti-inflammatory Oral Liquid.

2. Acute bronchitis: Children's bronchitis is closely related to infection, physical stimulation and other factors. After the disease occurs, it can lead to inflammation in the bronchial area, which can cause coughing and sputum. For children's bronchitis, drugs can be used for atomization inhalation treatment according to the doctor's prescription. Commonly used drugs include budesonide atomizer, triamcinolone acetonide atomizer, etc.

3. Pneumonia: Pneumonia in children is a common infectious disease in clinical practice. It is closely related to low immunity and contact with patients. After the disease occurs, it can lead to persistent inflammation of the lungs, causing symptoms such as coughing and fever. Pneumonia in children can also be treated with drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Commonly used drugs include amoxicillin granules, cefixime granules, etc.

Notes on children's cough:

In addition, a child's cough that does not go away may also be caused by factors such as asthma, bronchiectasis, and tuberculosis. Protective measures should be taken in daily life, windows should be opened regularly for ventilation, and children should be prevented from being in a dusty environment for a long time. At the same time, they should avoid contact with suspected pneumonia patients to prevent the spread of the disease.
