1, treatment of cough at different ages
0 ~ 2 years old:
Cough time is long, check blood routine
For children aged 0 ~ 2 years, cough is mostly caused by pathogen infection such as virus, bacteria or mycoplasma, and a small part is caused by parents' carelessness leading to children choking on milk. At the beginning, children often have a dry cough. Some parents don't deal with it, and then go to see a doctor when the cough is aggravated, phlegm is excessive or fever. At this time, comprehensive treatment such as anti-infection, phlegm elimination and fever reduction is generally needed. Generally, oral medication supplemented by atomization can control the disease, but some patients with serious illness also need intravenous medication; If the cough lasts for a long time or the fever persists, it is best to check a blood routine or chest X-ray to clarify the condition; Children in this age group cough because of immature central development. When coughing with phlegm, they often don't cough consciously like adults, but they don't need to use antitussive drugs deliberately. Sputum is an inflammatory substance in the respiratory tract, which is beneficial to the recovery of the disease. At this time, the use of antitussive drugs may lead to the inability to discharge sputum, and even the sputum blockage may aggravate the condition. If the sputum is too thick and difficult to cough up, it is appropriate to use expectorant drugs and atomize and dilute the sputum. Family members can also pat the child on the back to promote the discharge of sputum. Wang Lu specially reminded that if the mother has symptoms of respiratory infection, try to wear a mask when touching the child or feeding. If the condition is serious, it is recommended to suspend breast milk for a period of time to avoid infecting the child.
3 ~ 6 years old:
Repeated cough needs to exclude foreign bodies in respiratory tract.
Children aged 3 ~ 6 years old often go to kindergarten. Many family members feel that their physical fitness becomes worse after they go to kindergarten, and they often have stuffy nose, runny nose and cough. This is due to several reasons: First, children sweat after playing, and they don't change clothes in time, which leads to colds, decreased immunity and easy infection with germs; Second, children who have a cold will not deliberately avoid it, nor pay attention to hand hygiene, which is easy to cause mutual infection; Third, there are many people in kindergartens, and the air quality is not better than at home. Some children are allergic and cough after exposure to dust and pollen. If a child has a cough, it is recommended to go to the hospital immediately, and family members should not blindly give the child medicine; If you cough repeatedly, you should also rule out the presence of foreign bodies in the respiratory tract.
7 ~14 years old:
Take prevention as the main factor, and seek medical advice in time when coughing occurs.
Children at the age of 7 ~14 have a more mature immune system, and their resistance is gradually improved. Cough is often caused by pathogen infection, so prevention should be given priority. Of course, they still need to seek medical advice in time if they have cough.
In addition, some children often cough repeatedly, and their condition is still repeated after anti-infection treatment. If the cough lasts for a long time and the nasal congestion and runny nose are obvious, it is recommended to go to the otolaryngology department to rule out the cough caused by rhinitis and postnasal drip, and wash the nasal passages if necessary.
