The causes of a child's cough are very complex. In the process of treatment, if the cause is not addressed, it will be difficult to recover. If dietary care is not paid attention to, it can also lead to recurrent coughing, which can greatly stimulate the throat and respiratory tract. Therefore, parents should use the correct methods to deal with it and not easily stop taking medication, as this can easily lead to incomplete recovery of the condition. So, how to treat a child's recurrent cough?
If a child repeatedly coughs, they need to see a doctor for treatment. There are many causes of coughing, and sometimes a longer treatment course is required. Only by treating the specific reasons can recurrence be effectively avoided. Parents should not blindly give their children cough suppressants. If the medication is taken improperly, it can lead to the accumulation of phlegm in the trachea, which can worsen the cough.
In addition to active treatment, attention should also be paid to daily life and diet. At this time, children should adhere to a light diet and try to eat easily digestible and nutritious foods, which can improve their disease resistance. It is best not to eat raw, cold and greasy foods, and to drink more water to help dilute phlegm. If the child cannot cough up phlegm, parents should help the child pat their back to promote the discharge of phlegm.
During coughing, the home environment should be maintained properly, with fresh and ventilated air as much as possible. Although windows can be opened for ventilation, it is important to avoid catching a cold and keep humidity within a reasonable range.
