The child does not cough when sleeping but coughs during the day

Coughing is a common symptom. Different coughs require different treatments. If the child's cough is severe and has symptoms such as high fever and purple face, timely treatment is necessary. If the child's cough is caused by a cold or tonsillitis, parents can use some folk remedies to treat it. Here is some information about children’s cough!

1. Coughs that require immediate medical attention

1. If your child suddenly develops a severe cough and has difficulty breathing, there may be something blocking his or her trachea. Things that children may easily swallow by mistake include peanuts, pencil cases, pills, buttons, coins, candies, etc. At this time, parents should send their children to the hospital immediately. If they can be discovered immediately and emergency measures are taken to remove them, it will be fine. If they are not discovered, it will be very dangerous.

2. If a child has a high fever, cough, wheezing, and difficulty breathing, he or she needs to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

3. Infants are very likely to suffer from bronchiolitis (a type of pneumonia). At this time, the child's face looks bad and often turns purple, or he or she may have symptoms such as increased breathing, raised shoulders when breathing, and depression of the lower chest wall when inhaling. They should also be sent to the hospital for treatment in time.

2. Coughs that parents can solve on their own

1. Although the child has a cough and fever, he is in good spirits. This is most likely a cold or tonsillitis.

2. The child has a cough and a lot of phlegm, but no fever and is in good spirits.

3. A cough that only occurs in the early morning or evening.

4. A mild cough when you are nervous or after exercise.

5. dry cough.

Parents do not need to worry too much about the above 5 types of coughs, as they can all be relieved and treated through diet therapy.

3. What should I do if my child coughs during the day and at night?

Children will not cough for no reason. It is usually caused by catching a cold or having a fever. As long as parents deal with it in time according to the method I introduced earlier on "What to do if a child just catches a cold", it rarely develops into pneumonia. Therefore, timely dispelling the cold in the early stage of a child's cold is the key to avoiding coughing. If the child is already coughing, the key to preventing the cough from getting worse is to prevent the child from catching cold and not feeding the child cold food.

A severe cough is one that occurs regardless of day or night, which means that the child has both heat and cold in the body. In the past, I treated wind-heat coughs and wind-cold coughs separately. Later, I found that as long as I followed the method I introduced earlier on "What to do when a child has just caught a cold", using ginger and sugar water to dispel the cold, soaking the child's feet until they sweat, and giving the child plenty of warm water to eliminate internal heat, it would not only cure the cold quickly and make the cough almost impossible to occur, but it was also very effective in treating children's coughs after catching a cold. In addition, let your child drink plenty of warm boiled water. With drinking plenty of water and frequent urination, viruses and bacteria will be excreted from the body in a timely manner. They will naturally not stay in the respiratory tract and cause respiratory tract inflammation, and the cough will be cured without treatment.
