What are the symptoms of cough variant asthma in children?

Children’s health has always been a concern for parents, so parents will only feel at ease if their children grow up healthily. However, some children are always sick. Children's cough variant asthma has always posed a threat to children's bodies, and the symptoms of the disease are not very obvious, so parents are always unable to discover their children's disease in time, resulting in the disease not being treated in time. The following is an introduction to the symptoms of children's cough variant asthma.

Cough is a symptom of cold, but it is not a symptom unique to cold. If a "cold" with cough as the main symptom or other symptoms of cold such as nasal congestion, runny nose, fever, etc. have improved, but only chronic cough remains and cannot be cured for a long time, then you should think of cough variant asthma.

Cough is a common symptom of respiratory diseases in children. It often occurs when children suffer from upper and lower respiratory tract infections such as tuberculosis and asthma. In most cases, the cough gradually improves after antibiotic treatment, but sometimes the cough does not get better after multiple antibiotics and cough and expectorant drugs are used, but it is difficult to cure. Such children often suffer from cough variant asthma. Cough variant asthma is also called allergic asthma, latent asthma, and cough asthma. It is a special type of asthma with chronic cough as the only symptom. Its prevalence in children is about 0.77% to 5.0%.

Because children with asthma have persistent allergic inflammation in their respiratory tracts and swelling of the bronchial epithelium, the threshold of excitation of the stimuli receptors under the airway endothelium is lower than that of normal people. Therefore, the sensitivity to various external stimuli increases, and asthma occurs at the slightest stimulation; and asthma is difficult to cure.

Timely detection of the disease is very helpful for the treatment of the disease. Learn more about the symptoms of cough variant asthma.
