What are the treatments for a three-year-old baby with fever and cough?

When a three-year-old baby at home has a fever and coughs, I believe many mothers' first reaction is to blame themselves for not taking good care of the baby, which led to his infection with colds and fever and cough. In fact, there are many reasons for a baby's fever and cough, not just because of colds. If you want to know how to deal with it, you need to know the cause of the child's fever and cough. Let me introduce it to you below, I hope you all can understand it.

1. Causes of fever and cough

Coughing is one of the most common symptoms of respiratory diseases. It is a protective respiratory reflex action of the human body to clear secretions or foreign matter in the respiratory tract. Coughing produces an expiratory shock action, which can expel foreign matter or secretions in the respiratory tract from the body. But severe and prolonged coughing can lead to respiratory bleeding. Correctly distinguish between general cough and cough variant asthma. When children suffer from upper respiratory tract diseases such as colds, adenovirus infections, rhinitis or sinusitis, tonsillitis, acute and chronic pharyngitis, acute and chronic laryngitis, acute epiglottitis, laryngeal tuberculosis, etc., they may have fever and cough.

2. Other factors

Infectious diseases rank first among fevers to be investigated, including common infectious diseases caused by various pathogens, systemic or focal infections. The most common infectious fever is caused by bacteria, followed by viruses, etc. Non-infectious diseases such as blood diseases and malignant tumors such as leukemia, malignant histiocytosis, malignant lymphoma, colon cancer, primary hepatocellular carcinoma, etc. Allergic diseases such as drug fever and rheumatic fever. Connective tissue diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus dermatomyositis, polyarteritis nodosa, mixed connective tissue disease, etc. can also cause fever and cough.

3. Children’s colds can easily cause lung heat

Children have a pure yang body, with a special constitution of "yin is often insufficient and yang is often excessive". The physiological characteristic of the lung being often insufficient determines that lung heat is the root cause. Children are more sensitive than adults to external stimuli such as wind, cold or viruses. The excessive yang in children's bodies can easily turn into real heat, while insufficient yin can easily lead to false heat. If the lungs are often insufficient, the heat evil can easily overcome the lungs and cause lung heat.

5. Treatment of fever and cough

Dark-colored vegetables are rich in vitamin C, such as green vegetables, leeks, bell peppers, etc. Citrus, red grapefruit, dates and other fruits also have high content. Some wild vegetables and fruits are very rich in vitamin C, such as wild onions, sea buckthorn, wild jujube, sea buckthorn, etc. Give your baby enough water: People should also drink more water when they have a cold or fever, because rising body temperature will cause water loss. Drinking more water can promote the body's heat dissipation and help patients recover. In addition, burdock seeds have the effect of antipyretic, and the juice boiled from burdock seeds has a good effect on anti-inflammatory, pharyngitis, etc. 10 grams of burdock juice can be used as a mouthwash to refresh the throat, eliminate pain naturally, and also reduce fever. In addition, you can add 3 grams each of platycodon and licorice for better effect.

With the above methods of treating fever and cough in three-year-old babies, I believe mothers have learned relevant knowledge and understand that they should not blindly use medicine when their babies have a fever and cough. In addition, mothers also need to pay attention to taking their children to outdoor sports frequently, letting their children get in touch with nature more often, and breathing fresh air will be much better than keeping the baby in the room all the time.
