The child coughs and has a squeaky throat

During the growth process of a child, some phenomena will occur that make the mother feel unprepared. Coughing in children is a relatively common phenomenon. Because children have relatively low disease resistance, they will suffer from some diseases. If the child makes a squeaking sound in the throat when coughing, many mothers will feel very nervous and don’t know why the child has such a phenomenon.

Why does my child cough and have a squeaking throat?

Coughing is a symptom of infection caused by cold breathing, and we need to actively find the cause and treat it symptomatically. When a child coughs, we need to see whether he or she has symptoms such as sputum, nasal congestion, and runny nose. If there are other respiratory symptoms at the same time, consider respiratory infection and give medication according to the situation. The sound in the throat is usually wheezing. Symptoms usually improve with anti-inflammatory treatment.

What are the reasons for baby's cough?

1. Traditional Chinese Medicine theory: Coughs can be divided into exogenous coughs and endogenous coughs, and exogenous coughs can be further divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. You can judge by observing the baby's tongue coating. If the baby's tongue is coated with white fur, it means that the child has a cold and cough, which means that the child has a severe cold and cough. If the sputum is also thin, white and sticky, and the child has a stuffy nose and runny nose, the child should eat some warm, expectorant and cough-relieving foods. If the baby's tongue coating is yellow or red, it is a wind-heat cough, which means that the baby has a lot of internal heat. The phlegm when coughing is yellow and thick, which is easy to cough up, and there is a sore throat. Eat foods that clear the lungs, reduce phlegm and relieve cough

If the cough caused by internal injury lasts for a long time or recurs, parents should pay attention to giving their children foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys, and replenish the lung qi.

Western medicine theory: When a baby coughs, you should pay attention to the nature of the cough, the time when the cough occurs, and the nature of the sputum. Common diseases that cause cough include:

(1) Chronic infection of the upper and lower respiratory tract.

(2) Foreign objects and other stimuli, such as foreign objects in the trachea or dry or cold weather, can cause coughing.

(3) Pleural diseases, such as pleurisy or compression of organs adjacent to the pleura.
