My child coughs every time he catches a cold

Children generally have poor immunity, so they are easily infected by viruses and catch a cold, which is accompanied by symptoms such as cough and fever. It is usually very difficult to recover from a cold with a cough. For example, some children cough every time they catch a cold, which is a very headache for their parents and may develop into asthma over time. So what should we do if our children cough every time they have a cold?

Coughing is a protective respiratory reflex action of the human body to clear secretions or foreign objects in the respiratory tract. Although it has its upside, severe and prolonged coughing can lead to respiratory bleeding. Correctly distinguish between general cough and cough variant asthma to prevent misdiagnosis. Treatment of cough should be based on different types of cough. Both Western and Chinese medicine can be used, but diet therapy is the best.

Traditional Chinese Medicine

Cough is caused by the six external evils and internal injuries of the internal organs, which affect the lungs and cause sounds and phlegm. See "Suwen·The Formation of the Five Internal Organs". "Suwen Bingji Qi Yi Bao Ming Ji" says: "Coughing is a sound without phlegm, which is caused by the damage of lung qi and the inability to clear it. Coughing is a sound without phlegm, which is caused by the movement of spleen dampness and the formation of phlegm. Coughing is a sound with phlegm, which is caused by the damage of lung qi and the movement of spleen dampness, which turns into coughing."

It is caused by external evil invading the lungs, or internal injuries to the internal organs, affecting the lungs.

Western medicine

Cough is a protective respiratory reflex action of the human body. The cough reflex can effectively clear secretions in the respiratory tract or foreign objects that enter the airway. But coughing also has its disadvantages. Severe coughing can lead to respiratory bleeding. If long-term, frequent and severe coughing affects work and rest, and even causes sore throat, hoarseness and respiratory muscle pain, it is a pathological phenomenon.

This is asthmatic bronchitis induced by a child's cold. The occurrence of asthmatic bronchitis is related to allergies. It generally does not last a lifetime and can be recovered through regulating the body's immune system. It is recommended to give children oral Yupingfeng Granules for treatment. This medicine can not only treat colds, but also regulate the body's immunity. At the same time, it is necessary to draw blood from the child to check for allergens. As long as the allergen report indicates allergies, the child must not touch it, otherwise the disease may recur.
