Many babies may experience catching a cold, and once they do, the most common symptoms are runny nose and cough. However, some parents always suspect that their baby may have tuberculosis or other illnesses, but they are not clear about the specific symptoms of tuberculosis. So, can children with tuberculosis cough?
Tuberculosis is a relatively special pulmonary infection. Once tuberculosis occurs, other inflammations in the lungs will also arise, such as bronchitis and bronchitis. Inflammation can trigger the secretion of inflammatory exudates, which can stimulate the baby's trachea and bronchi, causing coughing symptoms. Therefore, tuberculosis can also cause coughing symptoms in babies.
The early symptoms of tuberculosis generally include lethargy, mental exhaustion, weight loss, decreased appetite, flushed complexion, unexplained crying, and even night sweats. Therefore, if these symptoms occur, parents need to take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. If it is confirmed to be tuberculosis, it must be treated as soon as possible to avoid more serious health hazards caused by momentary negligence.
If the baby only has some coughing and no other symptoms of tuberculosis, then parents can basically rule out the cause of tuberculosis and observe whether the baby is just catching a cold. If the cough worsens severely, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to determine whether there is inflammation or other conditions that affect the baby's health.
