The child is awake and coughing

Some children are prone to coughing after waking up, and this phenomenon will disappear after falling asleep. Children may feel sore throats due to frequent coughing, and sometimes they may cry and become restless. In fact, parents should pay attention to children's coughing, because children are particularly prone to pneumonia caused by coughing. So why do children cough when they are awake?

The child does not cough when sleeping, but coughs as soon as he wakes up. It is considered to be related to respiratory tract infection. Increase physical exercise, strengthen nutrition, drink more water, avoid wind and cold, it is best to take cephalosporins to reduce inflammation first, and go to the hospital for intravenous drip of Junbizhi, Qingkailing, Yanhuning when necessary.

Consider the possibility of bronchitis caused by a cold. Go to a regular hospital's respiratory department for a chest X-ray and other examinations. If it is inconvenient, you can take roxithromycin and Qingkailing orally for treatment. Drink plenty of water, eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, avoid spicy and irritating foods, avoid smoking and drinking, and avoid catching cold and getting angry. Pay attention to rest, ensure adequate sleep, and keep warm.

Cough is a common respiratory symptom caused by inflammation, foreign bodies, physical or chemical stimulation of the trachea, bronchial mucosa or pleura. It is characterized by first closing of the glottis, contraction of the respiratory muscles, increased intrapulmonary pressure, and then opening of the glottis, with the air in the lungs ejected, usually accompanied by sound. Coughing has a protective effect in clearing foreign matter and secretions from the respiratory tract. However, if the cough continues and turns from acute to chronic, it often causes great pain to the patient, such as chest tightness, itchy throat, wheezing, etc. Cough may be accompanied by sputum

1. Inhalation

Inhalants are divided into two types: specific and nonspecific. The former include dust mites, pollen, fungi, animal dander, etc.; non-specific inhalants include sulfuric acid, sulfur dioxide, chloramine, etc. Specific inhalants of occupational cough include toluene diisocyanate, phthalic anhydride, ethylenediamine, penicillin, protease, amylase, silk, animal dander or excrement, etc. In addition, non-specific ones include formaldehyde, formic acid, etc.

2. Infection

The development and onset of cough are associated with recurrent respiratory tract infections. Patients with cough may have specific IgE to bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, etc., which can trigger coughing if the corresponding antigens are inhaled. After viral infection, the respiratory epithelium can be directly damaged, resulting in increased respiratory tract reactivity. Some scholars believe that interferon and IL-1 produced by viral infection increase the histamine released by alkaliphilic granulocytes. During the infant period, many children develop cough symptoms after being infected by respiratory viruses (especially respiratory syncytial virus). Cough caused by parasites such as roundworms and hookworms can be seen in areas with poor sanitation.
