Why children still cough after recovering from cold

It is very common for children to have a cold and cough. It is a happy thing for parents when their children recover from a cold. However, if they still cough after recovering from a cold, it will make parents worry. If the child's cough is serious, parents will be worried because it is difficult to treat the child's cough. Some children will cough for a long time before they can stop. Some children will feel very uncomfortable once they cough, and they will have asthma and other adverse phenomena. So what is the reason for the child's cough after a cold?

When children catch a cold, parents must follow the doctor's instructions to provide home care. An important point in home care for children with colds is to let the child get enough rest. The younger the child is, the more rest he needs. He can only resume free activities after the symptoms disappear. The second is to take medicine on time. As for most colds, most are caused by viruses, and antibiotics are ineffective. Especially in the early stages of viral infections, antibiotics are not only ineffective, but the abuse of antibiotics can cause dysbiosis in the body, which is conducive to the reproduction of pathogens and aggravates the condition. Taking "Bai Fu Ning" can effectively relieve fever, nasal congestion, cough and other discomforts caused by colds, avoid complications and recover early. Third, during the period when children have a cold and fever, they should be given liquid food, noodles, porridge and other foods according to their appetite and digestive ability. The frequency of breastfeeding for children should be temporarily reduced to avoid indigestion symptoms such as vomiting and diarrhea. Fourth, the room should be quiet, the air should be fresh, smoking is prohibited, and the temperature should be constant, not too high, too low, or too humid. More attention should be paid when there are symptoms of laryngitis, so that the child can recover soon. If the fever persists or complications occur, you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time to avoid accidents.

For children's cough, the key is to find the cause of the cough. Generally, mild and infrequent coughs help to expel sputum. After the sputum is expelled, the cough will often be relieved naturally, so there is no need to use cough suppressants. Severe and frequent coughs are very harmful to the body. For severe dry coughs, cough suppressants, such as codeine syrup, can be used for a short period of time to help relieve the cough. For children with coughs that have a lot of thick sputum that is difficult to cough up, cough suppressants and expectorants should be used, such as Expectorant and Tylenol Cold and Cough Syrup. At the same time, pay attention to ensure that the child has enough water intake to dilute the sputum and help with the excretion of sputum. If there are obvious signs of inflammation when coughing, such as fever, yellow and sticky sputum, and increased white blood cell count, antibiotics such as kanamycin and amoxicillin can be added. In addition, treatment should be based on the cause of the cough.

The above are the reasons why children will cough after catching a cold. No matter what the cause is, children’s coughing should be taken seriously. Children’s coughing can easily cause bronchitis. After bronchitis occurs, it may also cause pneumonia and other diseases. Once this phenomenon begins to appear, it will have a greater impact on the child’s life. When treating the child’s disease, remember to use the medicine reasonably and do not use antibiotics indiscriminately.
