What to do if your baby has cough and tracheitis

When there is a new baby in the family, the baby becomes the focus of every family. However, babies' immunity is relatively poor, and they are bound to catch colds and coughs. Severe coughs can cause bronchitis in babies. I suggest that the baby should drink more water. The baby may have a sore throat, so give the baby some medicine for the sore throat. However, I still recommend that you take the baby to the hospital for a check-up. A check-up will also put your mind at ease and prescribe the right medicine. The baby should take the medicine properly according to the doctor's instructions. I believe it will get better soon. Below is some relevant information about baby cough tracheitis.

Bronchitis is very common in children, mostly secondary to upper respiratory tract infection. At the beginning of the disease, there are symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, such as nasal congestion and runny nose, followed by intermittent dry cough. At the beginning of the disease, respiratory secretions increase, and the cough is accompanied by phlegm. The phlegm is initially sticky and quickly turns into purulent phlegm. After 5-10 days, the phlegm becomes thinner and the cough gradually disappears. When the disease occurs, there may be no fever or a fever of around 38.5℃, and the fever will subside after 2-4 days.

Children with bronchitis should pay attention to rest, keep the bedroom well ventilated, and maintain appropriate temperature and humidity. Give easily digestible food and drink plenty of boiled water. Provide vitamin B complex and vitamin C, 1 tablet each, 3 times a day. Children with chronic and recurrent illnesses should be given vitamin AD, 1 tablet each time, 2-3 times a day. For young and weak children with mild symptoms, they can take sulfonamides or penicillins orally, and use certain expectorants and cough suppressants to achieve a synergistic therapeutic effect. Sulfonamides can be used in combination with trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole, 20 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, orally in two divided doses. Since sulfonamides are excreted slowly and can easily cause crystal precipitation in the kidneys, sufficient water should be supplied during medication to facilitate excretion. Some children are allergic to sulfonamides. Rash, exfoliative dermatitis, etc. may occur after use. Do not use if you have a history of allergies. Amoxicillin can be used as a penicillin drug, 40-80 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, taken orally after meals in 3-4 divided doses. When taking oral penicillins, one should also pay attention to the history of penicillin allergy. They should be used with caution in children who are allergic to penicillin, and should even be banned in children with specific constitutions or who are prone to allergic reactions. For these children, the cephalosporin drug cefuroxime can be used instead, 25-50 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, divided into 3-4 doses. Expectorant and cough suppressant medicine can be selected from phlegm-resolving tablets, 1/2 to 1 tablet each time, 3 times a day.

Children's bronchitis can also be treated with TCM syndrome differentiation:

(1) Wind-cold type: cough, itchy throat, thin white sputum, nasal congestion, clear mucus, body pain, floating and tight pulse, thin white tongue coating. Use Xingsu Powder with added ingredients: 3g perilla leaf, 3g tangerine peel, 4.5g pinellia tuber, 9g huoling, 3g liquorice, 4.5g citrus aurantium, 3g mint, 9g lung wind grass, 3g angelica dahurica, 4.5g peucedanum. Decoction in water, twice a day.

(2) Wind-heat type: Cough with yellow sputum that is difficult to cough up, thirst, fever, sweating, rapid pulse, yellow tongue coating with reddish color. Use Wen Dan Tang with added ingredients: 2 g of Ephedra sinica, 3 g of Bitter Apricot, 6 g of Perilla seed, 9 g of Morus alba, 15 g of Rhizoma Anemarrhenae, 15 g of Houttuynia cordata, 6 g of Platycodon grandiflorum, 3 g of Rhizoma Cibotii, and 6 g of Scutellaria baicalensis. Decoction in water and take twice a day.

This is the relevant knowledge about baby's cough and tracheitis. I believe everyone has learned about it. Everyone must pay attention to the baby's health. The baby's immunity is still very low, so we must observe the baby's every move, discover the baby's discomfort as early as possible, treat it in time, and cure it in time. Don't wait until the baby becomes serious before wanting to treat it. I wish every baby a speedy recovery and every family a happy life.
