2 Causes of children's cough
First, cough caused by the common cold
Features: most of them are irritating coughs, such as itchy throat and no phlegm; No matter day or night, there is no breathing or shortness of breath.
Symptoms: the baby is sleepy, with a runny nose, sometimes accompanied by fever, and his body temperature does not exceed 38 C; Poor spirit, loss of appetite, symptoms disappear after sweating and fever, and cough lasts for 3 ~ 5 days.
Reason: It is popular in all seasons, and it is common when the temperature difference changes greatly. Most people have the experience of catching a cold, such as sleeping at night, wearing too little clothes and catching a cold in the shower.
Doctor's opinion: Generally, no special treatment is needed. Feed your baby warm water, ginger juice or onion water. Use cold medicine as little as possible. When the baby is irritable and feverish, you can give it to several children orally. Do not use adult antipyretics, feed cough syrup, cough tablets and other cough medicines, and do not abuse antibiotics.
Second, cold air irritating cough
Features: The initial cough is irritating dry cough.
Symptoms: light sputum, no fever, no shortness of breath and other accompanying symptoms.
Cause: Cold air is a simple physical factor, which stimulates respiratory mucosa and causes irritating cough. It happens to babies who have little outdoor activities. When the baby suddenly goes out to inhale cold air, the delicate respiratory mucosa will have congestion, edema, exudation and other similar inflammatory reactions, thus inducing cough reflex. There is no microbial infection at first, but it can be infected by viruses and bacteria after a long time.
Doctor's opinion: let the baby accept the exercise of temperature change from an early age. Often take the baby to outdoor activities, even in the cold season. Only the trained respiratory tract can withstand the stimulation of cold air.
Third, cough caused by influenza.
Characteristics: There is a slight hoarse cough in the throat, which tends to get worse gradually, and the sputum is from less to more.
Symptoms: with obvious click symptoms (tears, runny nose, increased respiratory secretions), often accompanied by high fever above 38℃, which is generally difficult to reduce fever for one week; Cough accompanied by shortness of breath when high fever, the baby's spirit is poor.
Cause: Viral infections often occur in groups during the flu season in winter and spring.
Doctor's opinion: If the flu is suspected, you should seek medical advice immediately, make a clear diagnosis and treat it under the guidance of a doctor.
3 what should I do if my baby coughs and spits milk
If the baby is sick and vomits when coughing, consider the symptoms of gastrointestinal cold. Take the baby to the hospital in time to check whether there is inflammatory infection and treat it under the guidance of a doctor. Babies should eat less and drink more, eat warm and keep warm, and lactating mothers should eat light, warm and easy to digest. After feeding, it is best to hold the baby straight and pat his back gently to help the food digest.
Another possibility is that it belongs to a "reflux cough". This cough is not caused by the throat and trachea, but by overfeeding and improper posture after feeding, which leads to some milk "flowing back" to the throat. This reflux substance contains stomach acid, so it stimulates the throat to cough. When coughing, it will also cause "excessive exhaust" due to stimulation, thus vomiting and giving milk. In order to prevent this, we should pay attention to spitting milk:
If breastfeeding, it is recommended to feed the right milk first, and then the left milk, so that the baby's stomach can be in a "right-leaning" state when it is full, so as not to let the milk in the stomach be in the esophagus; If you are feeding with milk powder, you should adopt a "right-leaning" posture at the beginning of feeding (that is, the baby faces you and the head is on your left);
In the middle of feeding, face the baby to you, put the baby's head on your left shoulder, and pat the baby's back with your hand (there will be burps at the back) to let the air in the stomach be discharged through burps, so as not to over-inflate the stomach;
After feeding, shoot again in the above way;
Don't lie flat immediately after feeding. You should pat it as above for 5- 10 minutes, and then put the milk in your stomach on the bed. After being put on the bed, the baby's head and left side should be slightly higher.
This can not only avoid burping and vomiting, but also increase the feeding amount (because the air is exhausted, it can increase feeding)
Parents know what to do when the baby coughs and spits milk. The baby is delicate, and the gastrointestinal function is not perfect. Try to reduce the phenomenon of spitting milk and coughing. In addition, try to maintain the correct posture when feeding your baby, and don't feed too much at a time. Only by developing good eating habits can the baby grow up healthily.

5 7 taboos that children should pay attention to when coughing
Avoid cold food.
Cold drinks or frozen drinks should not be eaten when coughing. At this time, if the diet is too cold, it will easily lead to lung qi occlusion, and the symptoms will be aggravated for a long time.
Avoid fat, sweets and thick food.
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. In the daily diet, eating more fat and sweet taste can produce internal heat, aggravate cough, and sticky phlegm is not easy to cough up. For children with asthma, overeating fat and sweets will cause phlegm-heat interaction, block the respiratory tract, aggravate asthma, and make it difficult to recover. Don't eat more fried food, because the gastrointestinal function is weak when the child coughs. Fried food will increase the burden of gastrointestinal tract, help damp heat, breed sputum, and make cough difficult to recover.
Shrimp and crab that avoid fishy smell
Most people know that coughing needs to avoid "hair" and should not eat fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp have the greatest influence on "wind-heat cough" Children with cough get worse after eating fishy food, which is related to the stimulation of fishy smell to respiratory tract and protein allergy to fish and shrimp food. Children who are allergic to certain fish and eggs should pay more attention, among which silver carp and hairtail have the greatest influence.
Avoid sweets and sour food.
Sour food often accumulates phlegm, which makes it difficult to cough up phlegm, thus aggravating the condition and making it difficult to recover from cough. 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.
Avoid eating oranges.
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.
Do not eat peanuts, melon seeds, chocolate, etc.
These foods contain more oil, and it is easy to breed sputum after eating, which makes cough worse.
Avoid supplements.
Some parents give some supplements to children with weak constitution, but children should stop taking supplements when their cough is not cured, so as not to be difficult to cure.
