3. Drugs for children's cough

If cough occurs, strong antitussive drugs will be given, and the cough will stop temporarily, but the sputum transport function and expectoration function of ciliated epithelial cells on tracheal mucosa will be impaired.
3.2, children cough is appropriate to choose cough medicine with expectorant and expectorant effect. Syrup is superior to pills. After taking it, the syrup adheres to the pharyngeal mucosa, which weakens the stimulation to the mucosa and can achieve the purpose of relieving cough by itself. Do not dilute or take with water.

That is, the cold is caused by the virus entering the human body through the nasal cavity and throat, causing inflammation of the upper respiratory tract mucosa. When children catch a cold, they usually have symptoms of coughing.

4. How do children prevent cough?
4. 1, pay attention to the spleen and stomach.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that children with immature spleen and stomach are generally damaged to varying degrees due to hot and humid summer or eating cold and cold food, with symptoms such as loss of appetite, sallow and emaciated, diarrhea and loose stool. For such children, the spleen and stomach should be nursed back to health in autumn and winter.
Don't forget to keep your feet warm.
Cold starts from the soles of the feet. Because the feet are far away from the heart, there is relatively little blood supply, while children have less subcutaneous fat and relatively poor warm-keeping function. In addition, the child's nervous system development is not very sound, so the foot's cold-proof ability is poor and it is easy to catch cold.
4.3. Strengthen physical exercise.
Outdoor exercise can promote the development of lung function, increase vital capacity and enhance the defense ability of respiratory tract.
