What should I do if my child has a cough and fever?

Some children have problems with coughing and fever, which seriously threatens their physical health. Therefore, once a child has this problem, it is important to pay attention to timely treatment and examination to ensure the child's physical health and avoid danger to the child due to this problem. So what should we do if a child has a cough and fever? Let me introduce it to you below.

Actively controlling inflammation and clearing sputum is crucial. It is also necessary for parents to understand some medical knowledge. Generally speaking, coughing is also a protective reflex. Mild and moderate coughing helps the body to expel sputum. After the sputum is expelled, the cough is often relieved naturally. For such children, it is not necessary to use cough suppressants. However, for severe dry coughs, cough suppressants should be used in time to reduce the harmful stimulation of coughing. When coughing, the sputum secretion is large and sticky, and the use of expectorant cough suppressants should be emphasized. At the same time, the child should be given more water to make the sputum thinner, which is conducive to the child's sputum excretion. If the child has fever, purulent sputum, leukocytosis and other clinical manifestations while coughing, he should actively fight infection to eliminate inflammation under the guidance of a doctor.

If the child coughs very badly and affects sleep and rest, you can take cough medicine orally. Don't take cough medicine immediately when you cough. Use expectorant and expectorant drugs. Choose appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs according to the situation. It is difficult for children, especially infants, to take oral medicine. You can use Chinese medicine external plasters, which can also have better effects, such as Yiqi plaster, Yitiening, Sanjiu plaster, etc. More often, pay more attention to care and scientific diet, which will have better results.

The above is my opinion on this issue. If the child has the above problems, it is necessary to pay attention to timely examinations to avoid organ damage and cerebral palsy due to fever. In particular, attention should be paid to reducing fever and preventing pneumonia. Finally, I wish the child a speedy recovery.
