I believe everyone has experienced coughing, which usually occurs when they have a cold or when their respiratory tract is stimulated. Some parents may find that their children do not cough normally, but they cough whenever they exercise, which makes parents very worried. So, what's wrong with a child coughing when they exercise?
If a child does not cough when calm and their normal vital signs are stable, but coughs during exercise, it may be due to increased oxygen consumption after exercise, which can lead to coughing symptoms, usually caused by bronchial asthma. When suffering from bronchial asthma, exercising can cause the trachea, which is already under high load, to be unable to withstand the oxygen required for exercise, leading to coughing symptoms.
When coughing occurs during exercise, one should also be aware that it is caused by heart disease. Generally, when suffering from heart disease, abnormal blood circulation can occur, leading to insufficient oxygen supply in the body, and coughing may occur at this time. Additionally, coughing occurs during exercise and attention should be paid to respiratory deformities.
Parents should pay attention to their children's coughing, especially when there is no bronchial disease. Coughing may be caused by deformities or heart disease, so it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination in a timely manner, such as blood routine, allergens, lung function, and chest CT.
