What to do if your child has chest tightness, cough and no phlegm

Cough, I believe everyone has experienced this disease. There are many reasons for coughing, some are caused by colds, some are caused by heat or pneumonia. Generally speaking, coughing is not considered a serious illness in people's minds, but long-term coughing will cause people to worry about the occurrence of major diseases in their bodies. Next, let’s take a look at the causes of long-term chest tightness, cough and no sputum.

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 coughs caused by wind-heat and coughs caused by wind-cold separately. Later, I found that using ginger and sugar water to dispel the cold, soaking the children's feet until they sweat, and giving them plenty of warm water to dispel internal heat can not only quickly cure the cold and make the cough almost impossible to occur, but it is 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. Coughing is the stimulation of inflammation, so all doctors think of anti-inflammatory drugs. Drinking plenty of warm boiled water is the most cost-effective anti-inflammatory drug that will not cause new damage to the body.

Therefore, when parents find that their children are coughing, they should still touch their children's hands and feet first. If their hands and feet are cold and their tongue is white, they should boil water with two slices of ginger, half a spoonful of brown sugar, and 3 to 4 cloves of garlic and give it to the child to drink 2 to 3 times a day. When the child's hands and feet begin to feel hot, give the child a cup of warm water every half an hour. If the child feels bloated after drinking too much water, let the child eat a few bites of salty side dishes, the bloating will be relieved immediately. Continue to let the child drink water, and parents will soon see that as the child urinates more, the number of coughs decreases. Parents should still soak their children's feet in warm water at night until they sweat slightly, and let the children sleep more to recover their strength as soon as possible.

I believe that after reading the above content, everyone has a certain understanding of the cause of long-term chest tightness, cough and no sputum. Generally speaking, if a cough persists for a long time, the patient may have pneumonia, tuberculosis and other diseases, but the specific situation needs to be confirmed by examination in the hospital, so friends who have a cough should go to the hospital in time.
