What is the principle of children's spring cough

Spring is the peak season for children to get sick, and cough is the most obvious symptom. In the hospital, we can see many children receiving treatment for cough. Although we all know that children are prone to illness in spring, what is the principle of children's spring cough and what factors cause children to get sick in this season? Today we have invited relevant experts to introduce the causes of children's spring cough to us so that we can better prevent the disease.

1. Upper respiratory tract infection

The respiratory tract is weaker in spring, especially among children who have poor immunity. Bacteria, viruses, etc. can easily enter the human body through the nasal cavity and throat, causing inflammation of the upper respiratory tract mucosa. When you have a cold, you usually have a cough.

2. Bronchitis

Most of them develop due to upper respiratory tract infection, and the presence of abundant or purulent sputum indicates secondary bacterial infection. The onset is rapid, with dry cough at first, followed by long-term cough and sputum production. In severe cases, breathing difficulties may occur.

3. Pneumonia

It is usually caused by pathogenic microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Generally, there will be dry cough and shortness of breath, followed by coughing up white mucus or blood-stained sputum, accompanied by high fever and other symptoms.

4. Cold air stimulation

Cold air is a purely physical factor that irritates the respiratory mucosa and causes an irritating cough. If children stay in a warm indoor environment for a long time and then transition to a cold outdoor environment, they will experience symptoms such as discomfort in the respiratory mucosa, which can cause coughing.

5. Allergic cough

Caused by antigenic or non-antigenic stimulation, allergic cough is more common in dust allergy, spring pollen allergy, etc.

The above are the main reasons for children's cough in spring. The weather in spring is capricious, so you must do a good job of keeping warm in spring. Children with weaker constitutions should participate in sports activities regularly to improve their immunity. If children have allergic symptoms, it is best to wear a mask when going out to avoid inhaling pollen. If a child's cough is very severe, he or she must go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time to avoid delaying the disease.
