What is the reason why the cough is getting worse and worse?

The following are some common clinical reasons (excluding some rare special diseases):

Recurrent respiratory tract infection:

This is the most common cause of recurrent cough. In autumn and winter, dry and cold air will reduce the disease resistance of human respiratory tract, so respiratory tract infections begin to increase. With the increase of respiratory tract infection, the source of infection is also increasing, and the probability of cross-infection is also increasing.

Children often catch a cold and cough just right, and they start coughing again less than a week after being sent to kindergarten. This is because the child's illness is just right and his immunity is weak. Many children go to kindergarten with illness and cross infection, which leads to another cough.

There are children, and mothers take their children to shopping centers, cinemas, restaurants and other crowded places. There was no good ventilation during the period, but the population was dense, and sick people mixed in, causing reinfection and cough.

There are also children who have recovered from minor illnesses and want to eat delicious food. They have to eat delicious food for several days in a row, and their stools are blocked, and they are caught on fire and have a fever and cough.

How to avoid it?

It is unrealistic to completely avoid repeated coughing, but it can be reduced by paying attention to the following matters:

When you are sick, you'd better take care of yourself at home, don't go to school with illness, and don't go to kindergarten.

In the early stage of recovery, people seldom or never go to crowded public places, eat big fish and meat or eat less.

Drink more water and defecate more every day.

Allergic cough or asthma treatment is not enough?

Many parents still have scruples about the hormone components in atomization treatment, and always reduce or stop taking drugs after cough is relieved.

If your child is diagnosed with allergic cough or asthmatic bronchitis or asthma, the doctor will give him aerosol inhalation treatment. This treatment often lasts for a long time, and sometimes it needs to continue atomization treatment for a while after the cough symptoms are completely relieved.

If you stop taking the medicine as soon as the cough is relieved, it is easy to cause repeated cough: that is, the cough just stops atomizing a little, and the cough increases rapidly after listening to atomization, and then it is atomized. In fact, this cough will last longer and more drugs will be inhaled by atomization.

How to avoid:

Don't decide to stop taking drugs by yourself, but reduce the amount of drugs under the guidance of a doctor. When coughing and wheezing occurs, start atomizing inhalation treatment, and it is best to visit once every three days, and ask a doctor for guidance on medication.

Encounter stimulating factors:

Clinically, we often encounter such a situation. The child's cough has obviously improved and he feels that his condition has improved. But the child's cough suddenly increased, and it was very frequent. Parents will be more worried and nervous if they don't understand the reasons.

What factors may lead to cough relief and sudden aggravation?

1, cold air: cough is relieved, and it is stimulated by dry and cold air outdoors, especially in windy days, which often induces a very severe cough. Especially for children with airway sensitivity or asthma, it is more likely to happen.

In this case, if you take your child out, you'd better wear a mask to avoid the direct and tough stimulation of cold air.

2, strenuous exercise: the child just coughed a little, stayed at home for a few days, went out to run 1 hour, played basketball, and coughed again at night.

When the child has just recovered from illness, don't let the child do strenuous exercise immediately, and don't worry to let the child quickly resume sports courses such as running, kicking, skiing and skating. Outdoor sports can be done step by step.

3. Newly bought winter clothes: If the child's cough suddenly increases, there are no other possible inducing factors, and it happens that the child or adult has changed a new winter clothes, this winter clothes is a very suspicious factor.

4. Whether mom and dad, uncles and aunts bought new toys, especially this kind of plush toys or toys with flavor, is often the culprit of inducing cough.

5. Humidifier should be specially mentioned. It is common to use humidifiers at home in winter, but the fine particles contained in the water mist sprayed by some humidifiers are the cause of cough. Pay attention to the choice of humidifier, the choice of water quality and the cleanliness of humidifier. Improper use of humidifier is harmful.

Why does the baby cough?

Non-pathological cough

Physiological defense reflex: It is normal for a baby to have a few slight coughs when he gets up in the morning. Just clean up the mucus stored in the respiratory tract at night, so parents don't have to worry. In autumn, the baby's respiratory tract is dry, which is easy to cause cough. It is recommended to drink more warm water.

Inhalation of foreign bodies: such as milk, drinks, food residues, etc., mistakenly enter the airway, causing cough. This cough helps to expel foreign bodies. ? 1? three

Cold air irritating cough: when the baby suddenly goes out, cold air stimulates the respiratory mucosa, causing irritating cough. Always take your baby for outdoor activities. Only the trained respiratory tract can withstand the stimulation of cold air.

Pathological cough

Cough caused by cold: generally no special treatment is needed. Feed your baby warm water, ginger juice or onion water. Try to use cold medicine as little as possible, do not feed cough medicine such as cough syrup and cough tablets, and do not abuse antibiotics. In case of flu, you should seek medical advice in time.

Cough caused by respiratory tract inflammation: excessive phlegm or pus indicates secondary bacterial infection, and appropriate antibiotics should be selected according to the doctor's advice.

Cough caused by allergy: Cough caused by allergens such as pollen, animal hair and excrement. Babies with a family history of allergies such as asthma should pay special attention and seek medical advice as soon as possible.

Key points of family nursing for infant cough.

Drink water reasonably and drink more.

No matter what kind of cough, take the initiative to let your baby drink water, and don't wait for thirst to think of drinking water. Babies can use enough water to make sticky secretions western-style and easy to cough up. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, so that the waste or toxin produced by metabolism can be quickly excreted, thus reducing the irritation to the respiratory tract.

Dealing with babies who don't like drinking water: there is no drink at home; It is unconvincing for adults to drink coke by themselves but ask their children to drink more water. They should set an example. You can also add lemon slices and apple slices to boiling water to make the water look beautiful and have a touch of fruit flavor, which will increase the fun of children drinking water.

Diet is light, avoid cold and greasy.

Cough baby's diet is mainly a list, eat more fresh? 1? Vegetables, a little lean meat or eggs can be eaten. Avoid greasy and fishy. Fruit is essential, but quantity is not necessary.

When coughing badly, apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc. Not edible. Eating sweets will also help heat, making inflammation difficult to cure. There is a folk custom of "stewed pear with rock sugar" to treat cough, which is not suitable for the early stage of cough.

Don't eat oranges for wind-heat cough. Many people think that oranges can relieve cough and resolve phlegm, so children with cough should eat more oranges. In fact, orange peel does have the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but orange meat produces heat and resolves phlegm instead. Ordinary children can't eat orange peel but orange meat.

Avoid eating foods containing more oil, such as peanuts, melon seeds and chocolate. After eating, it is easy to breed phlegm and make cough worse.

In addition, avoid taking supplements and stop taking supplements to avoid intractable cough.

Keep the indoor air fresh.

At home, it is necessary to open the window regularly to keep the indoor humidity, which is beneficial to keep the respiratory mucosa moist and the cilia on the mucosal surface swing, which is helpful to discharge sputum.

Cold-resistant training to enhance physical fitness

Everyone knows the proverb "Spring covers autumn". In fact, this is in line with the scientific truth of fitness and health.

Starting from autumn, parents should gradually cultivate the habit of washing their hands and faces with cold water and drinking cold boiled water, even in winter. Because this is a gradual cooling process, children can generally adapt and the effect is remarkable. However, it should be noted that after each cold water rinse, it should be wiped with a dry towel.

Use expectorants with caution.

Children's respiratory system is not fully developed, so they can't cough up sputum as effectively as adults, and it is easy to retain sputum. If cough is treated with antitussive drugs, it will stop, but it will be more difficult to expectorate and block the respiratory tract after stopping cough, which will not only aggravate cough, but also easily lead to lung infection. Therefore, children's early cough should be treated with expectorants first.
