How to stop cough in the morning for kids

Children generally find that they cough more frequently in the morning. This is because the temperature is relatively low in the morning. The large temperature difference between day and night will cause their resistance to become worse and worse. Therefore, if the cough is quite serious, they still need to take some medicine, which can effectively relieve the symptoms of their cough and will not affect their daily life.

The treatment principles for cough variant asthma are the same as those for typical asthma, mainly focusing on eliminating allergic inflammation in the lower respiratory tract, including desensitization therapy, antiallergic drugs, and anti-inflammatory treatment with inhaled corticosteroids. Specific treatment plans such as antiallergic drugs such as levocetirizine, desloratadine, and mast cell stabilizers such as Nedocromil and sodium cromoglycate can also achieve good results, but they often need to be used continuously for more than 2 months.

The dosage of inhaled corticosteroids can refer to the treatment plan for mild persistent asthma. Continuous inhalation is usually required for 5-7 days. After the airway inflammation is controlled, the cough symptoms may gradually decrease or disappear. Inhaled corticosteroids should be continued for at least 3 months to avoid relapse. If the cough is severe, bronchodilators such as inhaled or oral β2 receptor stimulants and/or oral theophylline drugs can be used if necessary to temporarily relieve cough symptoms.

For children who have recurrent attacks after stopping medication, the allergens should be identified in a timely manner, effective preventive measures should be taken, and allergen vaccination treatment should be given if necessary.

Although cough variant asthma is usually not life-threatening, it should be diagnosed early and treated actively because it can develop into typical asthma and the disease can seriously affect children's sleep, rest and learning.

Once cough variant asthma is diagnosed, antibiotics or antiviral drugs should be stopped, and care should be taken to avoid contact with allergens. In particular, primary prevention of asthma is implemented for children with cough variant asthma, aiming to promote and enhance Th1 cell response.
