What should I do if my child coughs?

For children's cough, there are generally two directions to deal with, as follows:

First of all, we can do some symptomatic expectorant and antitussive treatment for cough itself. At present, atomization therapy is recommended, which has a good effect on relieving cough symptoms in children. Generally, it can be decided to use atomized drugs according to the child's cough, such as budesonide, ipratropium bromide, terbutaline, acetylcysteine and so on. , can be selectively combined according to children's symptoms, and has a good effect on relieving children's cough symptoms. If it is not convenient to do atomization, you can also consider giving your child drugs to eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. It is not recommended for children under six to use antitussive drugs. It is best to use expectorant drugs for children, such as ambroxol, to help children completely relieve cough.

Secondly, children's cough itself is only a manifestation, so there will be some primary diseases that cause children to cough, and the more common ones are mainly respiratory infections. In addition, some children may have allergic cough, so it is necessary to treat the primary disease, such as anti-infection or anti-allergic treatment, which will help children to fully recover from cough. The fastest way to treat children's cough is atomization therapy, oral medicine, drinking water to relieve cough and so on.
