Irritating cough in children

Children's irritating cough is a type of allergic cough, which is often accompanied by symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, and itchy nose. It can cause patients to develop allergic bronchitis and allergic asthma. Some coughs are paroxysmal, while others are persistent. Parents need to find the cause of the persistent cough and promptly provide their children with some methods to relieve it.

Most irritant coughs are allergic coughs. If it is accompanied by sneezing, runny nose, itchy nose and itchy and watery eyes, it is definitely an allergic cough caused by allergic rhinitis. It is called allergic rhinitis or allergic rhinitis asthma syndrome.

If the cough is paroxysmal and dry, not accompanied by fever, fear of cold air and smoke, a slightly itchy throat, and occasional wheezing, it may be an allergic cough, also called cough variant asthma or allergic bronchitis.

If the condition is accompanied by symptoms of allergic rhinitis such as sneezing and runny nose, it is definitely not ordinary bronchitis, and misdiagnosis will lead to incorrect treatment. It's painful and hard, and the money is wasted with serious side effects.

Pharyngitis cough is an irritating dry cough with little or no sputum. Older children may feel that there is something in their throat that they cannot spit out or swallow. The throat itches before coughing and there is an obvious foreign body irritation, followed by paroxysmal coughing, which is more severe in the morning or before going to bed at night. The condition worsens with every cold and the throat often makes a "gnawing" sound or a single cough. During an acute attack, severe coughing may cause nausea and vomiting, which stimulates the pharyngeal nerve and causes reflex vomiting. Drinking water at this time will provide temporary relief.

There is no specific treatment for chronic pharyngitis. Generally, you can use Sterculia lychnophora, Polygonatum odoratum, Ophiopogon japonicus, Adenophora radix, Green fruit, and Jade Butterfly, soak them in water in appropriate amounts and drink them as tea, which has a certain therapeutic effect. In the acute phase, antibiotics are used and Chinese medicine is added, such as Coral Grass lozenges, Watermelon Frost lozenges, Jinshengzi throat treasures, Liushen Pills, etc., or Xiaoer Yanbian Granules and Huang's Xiangsheng Pills are taken orally, and combined with certain Western cough suppressants, the condition can be cured or relieved. Make sure your diet is light and avoid spicy or greasy food.
