What should I do if my child has a cough caused by the wind?

People will suffer from diseases in their daily lives due to many reasons, not just adults but also young children. Because children's physical fitness is relatively poor, the chance of getting sick is higher than adults. Children's coughing is a very common situation, and many parents do not know how to deal with it. So, what should we do if children have a cough caused by wind?

First, what should we do if children cough due to wind? Cold air is a purely physical factor that stimulates the respiratory mucosa and causes irritating cough. It is common in babies who do little outdoor activities. When the baby suddenly goes out and inhales cold air, the delicate respiratory mucosa 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. Doctor's opinion: Let your baby get exercise in temperature changes from an early age. Take your baby outdoors frequently, even in cold seasons. Only a well-trained respiratory tract can withstand the stimulation of cold air.

Second, the characteristics of cough caused by influenza: a slightly hoarse cough in the throat that tends to gradually worsen, and the amount of sputum increases from a small amount to a large amount.

Symptoms: Accompanied by obvious clicking symptoms (increased tears, mucus, and respiratory secretions), often accompanied by high fever above 38°C, which is generally difficult to reduce and lasts for a week; coughing and rapid breathing during high fever, and the baby is in poor spirits.

Cause: Caused by viral infection, often occurs during the influenza epidemic season in winter and spring, and often occurs in clusters. Doctor's opinion: If you suspect you have influenza, you should seek medical attention immediately, get a clear diagnosis, and receive treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

What should you do if your child coughs due to wind? If it is a sudden choking cough, it is likely that the child has inhaled food or foreign objects into the throat, but the child can still breathe, speak or cry. At this time, parents should encourage their children to cough, and never use their hands to pick around in their mouths to prevent the foreign object from getting deeper and deeper and completely blocking the airway. If nothing is coughed up and the child coughs or wheezes repeatedly, it means that the foreign body has reached the respiratory tract. Send the child to the hospital immediately to remove the foreign body in time. If the child's face turns blue and cannot breathe, parents should not panic. Remember that the child's life is in your hands. Sending the child to the hospital or calling a doctor will only delay time and lose the precious opportunity for rescue. You should immediately call other people to request medical emergency and start self-rescue actions immediately.
