Why does my child have recurring coughing attacks?

Many children suffer from respiratory diseases and often have symptoms of recurrent coughing. So how can this symptom be treated and prevented? The editor will explain it in detail below, hoping it can help everyone, let’s take a look!

Cough is the most common respiratory disease in children, and almost all lung diseases have cough symptoms. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that when children cough, the disease is in the lungs. The main reason why children are prone to coughing is that their lungs are delicate and often insufficient, as well as their internal deficiencies such as weak defensive defenses and weak ability to resist pathogens.

In clinical practice, we often see many children who cannot adapt to sudden changes in climate and suffer from repeated colds and coughs. These children have poor adaptability to the external environment, weak resistance, and are particularly susceptible to various pathogenic factors. In addition to the fact that children are in an immature stage of growth and development, it is also because most of these children prefer sweets and greasy food. In addition, the room temperature is too warm, or they are too pampered, wearing fur clothes and quilts, which affects the children's ability to dissipate heat on their own, resulting in a physique of heat accumulation in the lungs and stomach. Such children are prone to crying, flushed cheeks, and restless sleep. If you are exposed to cold wind at night, you will experience symptoms such as fever, runny nose, cough, sore throat, and difficulty coughing up phlegm.

Some children, due to improper diet and excessive consumption of cold drinks and ice food, gradually develop anorexia which is caused by the cold damaging the spleen. Due to long-term loss of appetite, weak spleen and stomach, weakened digestion and absorption functions, nutrition cannot meet the body's needs, which reduces resistance. At this time, if affected by external wind and cold, it is easy to cause a cold. The disease recurs repeatedly, often with nasal congestion, runny nose, cough and excessive sputum. Treatment with anti-inflammatory drugs and cough suppressants and expectorants is ineffective, resulting in a prolonged course of the disease. It can be seen that it is very important for parents to feed their children properly.
