A three-year-old child coughs and spits blood

This symptom is an upper respiratory tract infection in young children.

According to the season, most colds are currently caused by influenza viruses. The treatment is mainly antiviral, and the effect is better when used together with azithromycin. Those with severe cough can take expectorant and cough suppressant drugs such as Tangerine Peel Cough Granule. When fever occurs, physical cooling is the first choice. If necessary, take antipyretics to lower the body temperature, rest more and drink more water.

Cough caused by common cold:

Characteristics: Mostly irritating coughs, like an itchy throat, without phlegm; occurring at any time of day or night, not accompanied by wheezing or rapid breathing.

Symptoms: The baby is sleepy and has a runny nose, sometimes accompanied by fever, with the body temperature not exceeding 38 degrees; poor spirits and loss of appetite. After sweating and fever subside, the symptoms disappear, but the cough may continue for 3-5 days.

Cause: It is prevalent in all seasons and is more common when there is a big temperature difference. People usually experience catching a cold, such as kicking off the quilt when sleeping at night, wearing too few clothes, catching a cold when taking a bath, etc.

Opinion: Generally no special treatment is required. Feed your baby more warm water, ginger juice or onion water. Try to use less cold medicine. When your baby is irritable and has a fever, you can give him a little Xiaoerxin orally. Do not use adult antipyretics. It is not advisable to feed cough syrups, cough tablets and other cough medicines, and do not abuse antibiotics.

Cold air is a purely physical factor that irritates the respiratory mucosa and causes an irritating cough. It is more common in babies who do not have much outdoor activities. If the baby suddenly goes out and inhales a small amount of cold air, the delicate respiratory tract will experience congestion, edema, exudation and other inflammatory reactions, thus inducing a cough reflex. There is no microbial infection initially, but if it persists for a long time, viral and bacterial infections may occur.
