Intermittent mild cough, ineffective with antibiotics, accompanied by throat itching, without fever, afraid of cold air and smoke, night rest should be gentle. Then your child may have cough-variant asthma or allergic bronchitis.Advice: The cause of your child's cough is complex. Taking medicine every time they cough may lead to more serious problems due to improper medication use. Therefore, experts believe that paying attention to daily regulation is the best approach.
In autumn and winter, the weather is cold. Parents should first encourage their children to rest more. When sleeping, use a pillow to support their back and head to prevent throat mucus from accumulating in the throat.
Secondly, pay attention to indoor air supply to avoid smoke and dust irritating your child's respiratory system. If your child is sick, it is best not to take a bath. Bathing can slow down blood circulation, which may increase throat mucus production and make coughing more likely.
Pay attention to keeping warm and avoid giving your child spicy, sour, or cold foods, which can irritate their throat. The rapid airflow during coughing can carry moisture from the respiratory tract, leading to dehydration. Therefore, during autumn and winter, it is also important to ensure your child drinks plenty of water and eats more fruits.
