Cough is one of the common symptoms in babies, and cough can be classified differently based on the course, nature, time, rhythm, etc. If classified by nature, cough can be divided into dry cough and wet cough. Recently, a mother wanted to know what is the most effective way to deal with dry cough in babies?
When a baby has dry cough, if the mother wants to help relieve it, the first step is to identify the cause of the cough in order to adopt targeted and effective methods. Dry cough in babies is often related to respiratory infections, and this situation requires a blood routine examination at the hospital to identify the pathogen of the infection, and then take targeted anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment.
Dry cough in babies may also be allergic cough, mainly concentrated at night and in the morning. Symptoms may worsen when exposed to cold air or after exercise. For allergic cough, the first thing to do is to keep the baby away from allergens. Mothers can take the baby to the hospital for allergen testing, identify allergens, and take anti allergic drugs for relief treatment.
Baby's dry cough should also be considered as possibly caused by reflux stimulation, which is related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. In addition to dry cough symptoms, babies may also experience chest burning, hiccups, nausea, vomiting and other symptoms. For this situation, mothers need to take their babies to the gastroenterology department of the hospital as soon as possible and take oral medication to promote gastric motility for treatment.
