Comment on the article "What to do with a cough? Treating a child's cough"

talking about a child? barking cough this is very similar to large inhalations in such cases, no, they haven’t tested it, but the cough doesn’t happen so often, he has a sore throat and this cough in turn. cough A loud, barking cough appears, at first dry and unproductive due to irritation...

Discussion

The pediatrician prescribed nebulizer inhalations for my son for a barking cough. He is allergic, so I asked for something harmless. As a result, Prospan drops worked for us. The cough began to change after a couple of days, and it was cured.

Last year, for example, we discovered a terrible allergy to birch, alder, hazel, the child came home from the garden at the end of April with frequent heavy breathing and a cough with swelling, it turned out to be obstructive bronchitis, the birch tree was blooming at that time. We went to the ambulance with a seizure, were discharged for May, things got worse, we were treated again throughout May, this year we tracked the beginning of flowering on the website (kestin.ru) and stopped going outside. You need to exclude connections with respiratory allergens.

A cough from lazolvan can’t go away, it’s better to look at what it does. Children cannot cough up the amount of sputum that you have. The child has had a cough for 4 weeks. Now he coughs rarely, very wetly, but very strongly. On the advice of doctors. Cough like whooping cough.

Discussion

Girls, thank you all, the night went peacefully, I even slept, even though on the carpet, the floor is not very comfortable :), we have a small children's room, so there is sleeping place only on the floor :) Today the child is better, the cough is much less frequent, but it’s still dry, we breathe in saline solution and ventilate it. My mistake was that on Saturday I took the children out for half an hour; it was chilly, but apparently fresh air is not always useful, I guess.

Antihistamines and an ambulance, they will relieve a coughing attack. That’s how we ended up in the hospital with false croup 1st degree. There was terrible green snot and there was no pace either.

Sputum accumulates and the child coughs it up in the morning. A morning cough may be due to snot that runs down the back wall of the throat. It seems to me that you no longer need inhalations with Lazolvan, since your cough is wet and the child clears his throat.

Discussion

And the doctor told me that you can’t rub it at night, you have to do all the warming up during the day. That's why the child coughs in the morning. Warming up improves sputum discharge; the child needs to move, and you put him to sleep. Sputum accumulates and the child coughs it up in the morning. I always warm up during the day. And they are good for coughs herbal teas. Well, don’t forget about vitamins. I give my friends vetoron during illnesses, and even then. It strengthens the immune system.

Stodal helped me well. And it seems to be herbal, not chemical.

Dry, hoarse cough, croupy, barking; we can hear the sound of sputum, which the child cannot cough up. A feeling that a lot of phlegm has accumulated in the chest, but nothing or very little is coughed up. A child has a cough: what medications will help?

Discussion

Yulechka, we all suffer from the same crap. First Anton with pneumonia, then my husband, now Aliska, me and my mother with obstructive bronchitis, but if Alisa and mom immediately started drinking, then I still feed Marusya and don’t drink yet, and I’m not happy at all. I’ll watch for another day and drink. Feeling like your lungs will fly out of your mouth: dry cough to the point of vomiting, nothing helps, head hurts, sternum hurts(((
Walks around Moscow viral pneumonia. Very fast and atypical. There are a lot of patients. Families, right. Some people are lucky and end up with bronchitis, others are less lucky. The therapist told me that if everyone had a culture taken, the statistics would be official. According to them, it is mycoplasma pneumonia, but who knows.
Don't joke and don't drag your feet. Take a photo!

Unfortunately, self-medication is more likely to cause harm. Fluorography is required. I had one myself in May acute bronchitis, that I couldn’t breathe (((the emergency doctor even diagnosed me with bronchial asthma out of fright (((So don’t delay, but go to the clinic and rule it out first severe forms pulmonary diseases.

A peculiar type of dry cough is a barking cough, which occurs when the larynx is inflamed - laryngitis. In fact, why is this cough dry? It's very simple: if a child does not clear his throat, what to do with a cough? We treat a child's cough.

Discussion

And even better than any medicine: plenty of fluids, as much fresh air as possible, and the child’s bedroom should be cool and humid, and of course, clean! Good luck, don't get sick!

Thanks to everyone for the advice. We got a compression inhaler from a friend and we’ve done inhalation with Lazolvan twice already - it seems to be better.

A child’s cough is a real test for the baby and his parents. Many people, faced with this problem, begin to think about what to do if their child has a severe cough.

To help the baby, parents should seek help from a competent doctor, since only he can determine the type of disease that caused the unpleasant and painful symptom.

Important! It is worth remembering that a cough is only a symptom of a disease, which means it is necessary to find the root cause of the disease.

In this case, a cough can develop into serious and dangerous diseases for the baby’s health. How before parents turn to doctors for help, the more likely it is that the cough will not leave any consequences.

Why does the child cough?

When the baby starts to get sick, parents want to know why the child has a strong cough at night, what to do similar situation to alleviate his condition. Typically, a severe cough can be caused by viral infection, common colds, sore throat, pneumonia and many other serious illnesses.

In each specific case, the cough is accompanied by additional symptoms, which parents should pay close attention to. Subsequently, this will help to establish as accurately as possible the source of the painful symptom, because of which every night becomes a real test for the whole family.

A cough in a newborn baby may indicate serious changes in the body, which are provoked by diseases such as:

• ARVI;
• flu;
• tonsillitis;
• bronchitis;
• pneumonia.

It is worth noting that cough in infants in some cases is a reflex and normal. This is due to the fact that young children are not able to get rid of accumulated mucus on their own. As a result, the body tries to free the nasal cavity and throat from it with the help of a reflex cough. In this case, the child may cough up to 20 times per day.

Moreover, a severe cough can be caused by an allergic reaction of the body to an allergen. This very often happens during the period of first complementary feeding, when in addition to breast milk, fruit and vegetable purees and milk porridges are introduced into the baby’s diet. Therefore, the first complementary foods should be introduced according to all the rules, which some parents neglect. Packages of cereals and purees always have instructions for use, which should be carefully studied. If the label says that on the first day the child can only be given 1 teaspoon of puree, then this recommendation should be strictly followed.

Why does my cough get worse during sleep?

Adults often wonder why a child has a strong dry cough, what to do and how to help the child in this situation. If a child has a severe dry cough, then this is a good reason to contact a pediatrician, as he may indicate the infectious nature of the unpleasant symptom. Attacks of night cough require mandatory consultation with a competent doctor and close attention parents. Such a cough exhausts the small body and prevents the child from sleeping.

Probably, many parents have noticed that if a child can cough only a few times during the day, then at night the cough may not stop at all. This is due to the fact that mucus and sputum in the nasopharynx can only be absorbed in an upright position. When a child goes to bed, there is a copious accumulation of mucus, which causes a severe night cough. During sleep, blood circulation and lung function slow down.

Almost all diseases of the nose and lungs worsen in winter period when the risk of hypothermia increases. Therefore, parents should dress their child warmly, but at the same time prevent the child from overheating. It will be much better if I harden the baby from the first days of his life. Hardening has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the lungs and respiratory tract and strengthens the immune system. Thanks to this, the child will get sick extremely rarely or will never know what it is like. night cough and sleepless nights.

Attention! Parents must understand that self-medication in relation to young children is fraught with serious consequences and complications, so you should not trust folk methods and rely on your own experience.

Children under 6 years of age are treated for cough with medications that suppress the cough reflex. But these drugs are used only in the most difficult situations when the cough is not associated with inflammatory processes in the lungs.

It is worth remembering that medications can be given to children only after consultation with a doctor. In no case should you resort to cough suppressants without a prescription, as this can have a bad effect on the baby’s health.

For example, whooping cough affects not the lungs, but the brain. Such drugs block cough receptors, so the child feels relief and does not suffer from coughing. Moreover, medications that block coughs may be prescribed when unpleasant symptom called external factors.

Expectorants for young children are available in syrups, which makes them easier to take. Don't panic if your child coughs even more after taking them. This is due to the fact that the medicine dilutes sputum, leading to its increase. The body tries to free itself from it with the help of a reflex cough. When all the mucus has left the lungs, the child will stop coughing.

Important! How faster lungs and the bronchi will be freed from mucus, thereby less likely that complications will arise.

Do not self-medicate under any circumstances. Especially when it comes to the health of a child.

In any case, at the first manifestations of cough, you should contact your local pediatrician, since only he will be able to diagnose accurate diagnosis and select the most effective and safe drugs.

Night coughs in children are not uncommon. It may appear after a cold or as independent symptom. A child’s severe, painful dry cough prevents him from fully sleeping and restoring strength. If a child coughs heavily at night, chokes on saliva, attacks intensify, fever rises, breathing is difficult, and treatment does not help, you should urgently consult a doctor. Hospitalization may be required.

Causes of cough at night in children

A child's cough at night is protective reflex(see also: ). Sometimes healthy people They also cough. This normal reaction, freeing the mucous membrane from irritants - dust and microbes.

If small child coughs at night and in the evenings, but not during the day, this indicates a malfunction in the body. You need to consult a doctor as soon as possible. The level of “wetness” of a cough during sleep depends on what pathogen caused it. It can be dry or wet.

During the day, the baby does not suffer from a cough, but at night and when falling asleep, in a lying position, coughing occurs. severe attacks that are not easy to stop. Why does a child suffer from a dry cough at night? The whole point is that in supine position mucus accumulates in respiratory tract and blocks them. The body is trying to get rid of it, to cough up. A dry cough, unlike a wet one, is unproductive; it does not contribute to the discharge of sputum. Based on duration, it can be divided into 3 types:

1. acute, lasting 2-4 weeks;
2. post-infectious, lasting 3-8 weeks;
3. chronic - more than 8 weeks.

What causes a cough that appears in the evenings and at night:

• ARVI, colds. Dry night cough is typical for initial stage diseases.
• Laryngitis. It is characterized by a barking cough and inflammation of the larynx.
• Pharyngitis. It causes constant soreness and tingling in the throat.
• Asthma. IN mild form it can cause this condition at night and in the morning.
• Spicy or chronic bronchitis. At acute form dry cough gradually gives way to wet cough.
• Allergic reaction. It can be triggered in a child at night and in the evening by dust, plants or pets.
• Whooping cough. This rare disease, because all children are vaccinated against it, but it cannot be completely excluded.
• Stomach reflux. The baby experiences a sensation similar to heartburn; acid from the stomach enters the oral cavity and causes the desire to cough.

The child sometimes coughs at night quite harmless reasons, which are easy to fix:

• Mucus from the nasopharynx entering the mouth. This happens when a baby's baby teeth are cutting. This physiological process and it does not require any treatment.

The cough is severe with attacks to the point of vomiting, and the child is choking on saliva

If your temperature also rises, you should call an ambulance medical care and hospitalize the baby, since when the disease starts, loss of consciousness and respiratory arrest occur. Cough with whooping cough is very specific, so a qualified specialist will determine the disease by ear.

Cough that gets worse in the morning
