Cough is a common symptom in children because their immune system is lower than that of normal adults during development, and they are often easily infected by bacteria or viruses, leading to coughing symptoms. Usually, children with cough can recover quickly as long as the primary disease is treated, but if the patient has phlegm, special attention should be paid. So what's the reason for coughing and phlegm in children?
A child may experience symptoms such as coughing and phlegm, which are commonly caused by a cold, but some children may also have bronchitis or pneumonia. Bronchitis and pneumonia are caused by various viruses or bacteria, as well as infections with Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae.
It is necessary to go to a regular pediatric hospital for registration and treatment. Through laboratory and imaging examinations, the specific cause of the disease can be identified, and scientific and standardized treatment can only be given under the guidance of a doctor. During this period, if the child has severe symptoms of coughing and phlegm, parents can first give the child a lung cough suppressant or take relevant drugs to relieve cough and phlegm, which is more effective.
If a child has persistent coughing and phlegm that cannot be improved, timely treatment is necessary. During the treatment process, it is also important to maintain a positive attitude, which is helpful for the treatment. Parents should also pay attention to dressing their children properly and not catching a cold.
