Child coughing ear pain

It is very common for children to cough, and parents will be very worried if their children cough severely. The child's throat is still in the development stage. If he keeps coughing, it will cause damage to the child's throat and even affect the normal development of the child's throat in the future. Therefore, the child's cough must be treated in time. Some children also experience ear pain when they cough. So, what should you do if your child has ear pain due to cough?

1. Generally speaking, we all know that coughing can cause ear pain. If the symptoms are mild, it is likely that a cold has caused nasal mucosal edema that blocks the Eustachian tube opening, leading to some discomfort. If the condition is not very serious, you can take some cold medicine and Isatis root granules to try the treatment. During this period, you should pay attention to a light diet and drink plenty of water.

2. In addition, we also know that the severity of this symptom varies among patients. In addition to considering that it is related to inflammation and damp-heat in the liver and gallbladder, it is also likely to be caused by otitis media, which requires examination and symptomatic treatment. Be careful not to get too hot, and it’s better to eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.

3. Some children may have this disease for a long time. In addition to viral infection, if the condition is serious and difficult to cure, it may be otitis media or mumps. If necessary, you should go to the hospital for examination and targeted treatment to cure it as soon as possible.

Precautions: There are many things that patients need to pay attention to after the onset of the disease. They should drink plenty of water and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods. If necessary, intravenous medication can be used for treatment. If the condition is serious, you need to go to the hospital to be examined by an ENT doctor, complete auxiliary examinations, and after a clear diagnosis, timely symptomatic treatment is the most critical.

How to treat a coughing baby

When a baby is coughing, comprehensive treatment can be provided from three aspects:

1. Massage therapy: Baby massage therapy refers to the use of traditional Chinese massage therapy to treat baby cough-related symptoms.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment:

a. When the baby has runny nose, slightly hot body, throat discomfort, and decreased appetite, you can take small pills such as Baoyuan Dan and Zhibao Ding, one pill each time, three times a day. If the condition worsens after taking it for one day, you should stop taking the medicine and go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.

If your baby's cough is paroxysmal and dry, antibiotics are ineffective, and is accompanied by an itchy throat but no fever, and the baby is afraid of cold air and smoke, and the cough worsens at night, then it may be an allergic cough.

c. If the baby has a low fever, runny nose, mild cough, etc., he can take Miaolingdan, one pill each time, twice a day.

d. The baby has fever, red throat, hoarseness, and the condition is worse than before. You can add baby throat clearing granules or baby cold granules.

e. If your baby suddenly has a fever, you can use some baby heat-clearing granules. If the baby has a high fever and a history of febrile convulsions, you can use Zixuesan first. If the stool is dry and hard, you can use Niuhuang Qingre San once.

f. For children who cough due to cold but without fever, cough syrups such as Children's Qingfei Oral Liquid, Children's Cough Liquid, Keke Children's Cough Syrup, 999 Cough Syrup, etc. can be used to control the development of the cough.

If the above symptoms do not improve, it is best to go to the hospital and ask a pediatrician for treatment. In addition, these commonly used respiratory Chinese patent medicines for pediatrics should not be taken for a long time or used indiscriminately, and are best used under the guidance of a doctor.
