What to do if a child has wind-heat cough and phlegm

When the seasons change, children are most likely to get sick. Compared with adults, children have very weak resistance and are easily infected by bacteria. When children have a cold, they usually have a cough. It is very difficult to cure a child's cough, and it takes at least ten days to half a month. This has a huge impact on the child's body. So what should we do if a child has a wind-heat cough and phlegm?

Lung heat, cough and sputum are caused by wind-heat evil toxins invading the lungs, or wind-cold turning into heat, which burns the lungs and fails to clear and descend the phlegm. The phlegm-heat inside the lungs leads to heat stagnation in the lungs, resulting in a symptom characterized by cough. It often occurs after a lung heat cold or without cold symptoms.

Lung heat cough is often seen in children with low immunity, and the main manifestation is recurrent coughing. Clinically, Chinese patent medicines such as Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid are mainly used for treatment, which can significantly promote the peristalsis of pharyngeal and bronchial cilia and enhance the expectoration function. At the same time, the medicine can cover the inflamed pharyngeal mucosa, relieve inflammatory stimulation, and have a significant and lasting antitussive effect.

One of the main symptoms of lung heat cough is repeated coughing, often accompanied by chills and fever, cough and chest pain, little and sticky sputum, difficulty breathing, dry mouth and throat, and a thin yellow tongue coating. Some are also accompanied by symptoms such as dull pain in the chest and flanks, shortness of breath, fatigue, spontaneous sweating, night sweats, low-grade fever or hot flashes, pale complexion, and weight loss.

We can judge whether the baby has lung heat symptoms from the following aspects:

1. Excessive eye mucus. Especially when waking up in the morning, the baby's eyelashes are often stuck with eye secretions, making it difficult for the child to open his eyes.

2. Bad breath, strange smell in the air, and even halitosis.

3. The tip of the tongue is obviously redder than the tongue body.

4. The throat is dry and sore, and the tonsils become red and swollen.

5. The lips are red and bright in color.

6. The stool is dry, hard and has a foul odor.

The above is an introduction on what to do if a child has wind-heat cough and phlegm. If the baby has wind-heat cough and phlegm, it is recommended that parents take the child to some regular hospitals for detailed examination, because if the baby's phlegm is secreted too much, it can easily cause the baby to suffocate, and the consequences are relatively serious.
