Occasional coughing in children is a normal condition, as occasional stimulation from external adverse factors can cause defensive conditioned reflexes in the respiratory tract, leading to coughing symptoms. But if a child always has coughing symptoms, it should be considered to be related to some pathological factors. So, what causes children to cough all the time?
1. Coughing is a defensive protective action, and a common cause of coughing in children may be mild respiratory infections. After all, children have weaker resistance, so when upper respiratory tract infections occur, they often experience coughing symptoms.
2. Children often experience coughing, and parents should be alert to the possibility of cough variant asthma. And this type of cough often occurs more frequently at night and rarely shows symptoms during the day. If parents find that their children have such symptoms, they need to take them to the hospital for bronchial dilation experiments or bronchial stimulation experiments. If the test result is positive, it can be determined as the cause of this disease, and timely anti asthma treatment is needed.
3. Children who frequently cough may also be caused by bronchitis, childhood pneumonia, or bronchial foreign bodies. Therefore, when coughing symptoms occur frequently, it is necessary to take the child to the respiratory department of the hospital for relevant examinations, and promptly treat the cause of the cough after diagnosis.
