You can't get fat during the Spring Festival
Children have a cold and fever and cough non-stop, which is a common problem encountered by parents. Cough is a self-protective response of the body and a defense mechanism of the respiratory system against stimuli such as inflammation and foreign bodies. However, a persistent cough can affect your child's sleep and appetite and may even cause difficulty breathing. So, how should we solve this situation?
First, we need to identify the cause of your child's cough. The cough caused by a cold is mostly dry, accompanied by symptoms such as sore throat, runny nose, and fatigue. At this time, parents should pay close attention to their child's condition and observe the frequency, sound, and accompanying symptoms of coughing. If the cough persists, the voice is hoarse, and it is accompanied by difficulty breathing, you should seek medical attention promptly.
For coughs caused by colds, home** measures mainly include the following:
1.Keep the indoor air fresh and the indoor temperature moderate to prevent your child from catching a cold.
2.Let your child rest and get enough sleep to help the body recover.
3.Giving your child plenty of fluids can help thin phlegm and relieve coughing.
4.In terms of diet, provide your child with foods that are easy to digest and avoid spicy, greasy, and irritating foods.
5.You can use some cough medicines that are commonly available at home, such as cough syrup, cough lotion, etc. However, before use, parents should read the drug instructions carefully and use it according to the dosage and usage.
6.Steam inhalation**: Pour hot water into a basin, sit your child next to it, cover your head with a towel, and inhale the steam to help relieve coughing.
7.Back patting: Parents gently pat their child's back to help with phlegm drainage.
8.Maintain indoor humidity: Using a humidifier to keep indoor humidity between 40%-60% can help relieve coughing.
If the child's cough symptoms are not relieved or even worsened after the above family measures, the child should seek medical attention in time. Depending on your child's condition, the doctor will give you medications**, such as antibiotics and cough medicines.
It should be noted that the cough caused by a cold generally lasts for 3-7 days, and if the cough lasts for a long time and is accompanied by other severe symptoms, you should seek medical attention in time to avoid worsening the condition.
In addition, preventing colds is also an important measure to reduce your child's cough. Parents should educate their children to practice good hygiene, such as washing hands frequently, wearing masks, and avoiding crowded public places. At the same time, strengthening children's physique and improving immunity are also the key to preventing colds.
In short, in the face of the problem of non-stop coughing after the child's cold and fever, parents should stay calm and take corresponding measures according to the child's condition. At the same time, strengthen preventive measures to reduce the risk of your child catching a cold. May every child grow up healthy and free from diseases.
