What should I do if a seven-year-old child has a cough?

People of all ages usually have symptoms of coughing. In comparison, children and the elderly are more likely to have coughs because their body resistance is generally low. For example, children are prone to catching colds and then have coughing symptoms. In addition, many respiratory and nasal diseases can also easily cause children to cough. Therefore, when a child coughs, you must find the cause so that you know what to do.

What should I do if a seven-year-old child has a cough?

Drink plenty of water, which means drink as much water as possible. When my son coughs, I follow him with a cup and give him water every time he coughs.

1. Buy a white radish, cut it in half, hollow out the middle, put some rock sugar in it, and then put the radish in the rice (so that the radish will not fall over). Wait until the rock sugar melts into water, pour it out and give it to your child to eat.

2. You can also stew pears with icy sugar.

3. In this season, you can pick some loquat leaves to make soup, add a little rock sugar, and give it to your children.

Rock sugar has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. When children cough, do not eat other candies, as that will make the cough worse.

Coughing is a common phenomenon in children. You can give your child some anti-inflammatory drugs or some cough suppressants. If your child coughs and has a lot of phlegm, you should give him some expectorant drugs, which will have a good effect on the treatment of your child's disease.

If a child has symptoms of coughing, it may be due to bronchitis or mycoplasma infection, which causes coughing. Some children may also have symptoms of coughing due to upper respiratory tract infection. Generally, appropriate treatment is given according to the different symptoms, and symptomatic treatment is best.

If a child has a long-term cough, it may be due to chronic pneumonia. Therefore, parents should take their children to a regular hospital for a detailed examination and carry out effective treatment according to the different causes of the cough. During the treatment, do not eat irritating foods.

Note:

If a child often has symptoms of coughing, it is important to pay attention, because coughing may be a precursor to a certain disease. If the cough is long-term, it may be caused by lung infection.
