What to do if your child keeps coughing?

What to do if a child keeps coughing? Every parent hopes that their child can grow up healthy and happy, so the physical health of their children is often what parents are more worried about. In normal times, children often cough, especially at night. This not only makes the children suffer, but also the parents cannot rest well. Therefore, such situations cannot be ignored. Let’s talk about how to deal with such situations in detail.

1. Parents should face it rationally. Coughing is just a common disease in children. Most of them are easy to treat and there is no need to panic. Parents must pay attention to observe their children's coughing, such as the sound of the cough, whether it is a single cough, continuous cough, or a barking-like cough, whether the child has phlegm when coughing, and observe the shape and color of the phlegm, etc., whether the child's cough is regular, such as whether it worsens at night or in the morning, whether it is induced or aggravated by activity, whether it is induced after eating, etc. You should also observe any accompanying symptoms other than cough, such as fever, sweating, headache, etc.

2. Parents cannot push the task of curing the child entirely to the doctor. Good care in daily life is an important condition that determines the child's health. Parents should pay attention to the child's clothing and not let the child wear too much when he or she has a fever.

Parents should pay attention to the following when taking their children to see a doctor:

3. Some children go to the doctor because their parents are not available, so their grandparents take them; some parents are so busy that they simply ask their friends to take their children to the doctor, and often the children don’t know anything when asked. Some parents do a good job by writing down their children’s basic information on paper or describing it clearly verbally. If the parents do not come in person but someone else brings the child to the hospital for treatment, the "handover work" must be done properly.

4. Parents should pay attention to observe the condition of their children. Due to limited time during the consultation, parents are required to briefly and accurately state the medical history, especially the characteristics of the cough and accompanying symptoms.
