Children always have a dry cough. What's the matter with children's dry cough? The common reasons are as follows: 1. It is more common in winter and the air is dry.

There are many causes of cough, so don't worry about treating cough when the reasons are not clear. Different children have different causes of cough. If cough is caused by bacterial infection, you can drink oral solution for treatment first. If the cough is caused by allergies, then find allergens, and children should not touch these allergens to avoid getting worse.
If the cough is caused by indoor dryness and humidity changes, then pay attention to maintaining indoor humidity. In autumn and winter, we should pay attention to children's moderate dressing, don't wear too much or too little, and pay attention to the temperature of children's back. Avoid spicy food in daily diet, and it is more helpful to eat light food, such as a little fruit and vegetables.
