What are the symptoms of lung heat, cough and phlegm in children?

Whenever the seasons change, babies are prone to getting sick. Compared with us adults, babies' resistance is much weaker, so they are easily infected by germs. Clinically, there are many types of colds and coughs in babies, the most common of which is lung heat cough. However, many adults do not know what lung heat cough is. So today I will explain to you what lung heat cough is and what are its symptoms?

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.

I wonder if parents have a better understanding of lung heat cough after reading the above description by the editor? If the baby has symptoms of lung heat cough, it is recommended that parents go to a regular hospital for treatment, because many babies with lung heat cough have excessive sputum secretion. If this situation is not treated, the baby is likely to suffocate, causing serious consequences.
