Symptoms of cough due to indigestion in children

Most children who are too young cannot eat by themselves. This is a difficult behavior for them. Most children are fed by their parents. Since children eat lying down and cannot exercise in time after meals, people know that if they sleep after meals, the food will accumulate in the stomach without digestion, causing food stagnation. The same is true for children. However, children cannot speak. If we want to judge whether they have food stagnation, we need to look at their symptoms. Let's see what symptoms children have of food stagnation and cough.

There are many symptoms of children's cough due to indigestion, and cough is the most obvious symptom. If a child has symptoms such as excessive phlegm and bad breath, decreased appetite, chronic cough, or hot hands and feet, yellow and greasy tongue coating, abdominal distension and smelly stools, or even constipation, it is likely that he has food indigestion.

Secondly, the child behaves very irritably and cries frequently, and no one can persuade him or her. He kicks off the quilt when sleeping and sweats frequently. If you observe the sides of his nose, you will find that the bridge of his nose is blue, he has an unpleasant odor in his mouth, and he has dry stools. Children with more serious conditions may often catch colds and even develop pneumonia. The most common symptom is extreme anorexia, particularly dislike of eating, and diarrhea also occurs frequently, which all require attention.

As the name suggests, food accumulation cough is caused by food accumulation. If children eat too much and cannot digest it, it will cause food retention and trigger stomach fire. Stomach fire causes lung heat, which has many manifestations, such as coughing, phlegm, sore throat, and runny nose. Many times, children catch colds because of food retention and internal heat. If they accidentally catch a cold or get too hot, they will catch a cold.

Frequent indigestion is likely due to weak gastrointestinal digestive ability. If you have indigestion after each meal, you can take some medicine to assist gastrointestinal digestion, such as digestive tablets. If you often have indigestion, it may be that the food you have eaten for a long time is not easy to digest. It is best to stop eating this kind of food and drink some porridge every day. You can treat the porridge as a main meal and drink it several times a day. Millet porridge is a good choice and is more nourishing to the stomach.

If the patient shows the symptoms described above, timely treatment is necessary. At the same time, the patient should also do a good job of disease prevention and develop good living habits.
