The baby s cough is always endless and intermittent after a cold, what should I do at this time?

Babies always cough endlessly after catching a cold, most likely because the baby's resistance is low and it is difficult to control the frequency of coughing. At this time, we must first figure out what the cause of Bao's cough is, and at the same time prescribe the right medicine, give the baby to supplement immune protein to improve its body's resistance.

Perhaps many parents will think that the baby has a cold, and most of the cough is caused by infection, so prepare some antiviral drugs for the child every day to feed it and think that the baby can sleep peacefully, in fact, even if it is a cough caused by a cold, the reasons are very different, not only viral infectious, but also bacterial infectious, and even allergic cough.

For **, we can prescribe the right medicine, if it is caused by the virus, you can give some antiviral drugs, the cough caused by bacterial infection can be actively anti-infection, but the cough caused by allergies should be given anti-allergic drugs according to the doctor's instructions, the purpose is only one, the right medicine, reduce the symptoms of the baby's cough.

At the same time, because the baby is relatively young, the body's resistance and immune system development is not very perfect, so a little temperature difference on weekdays will become the fuse of the baby's cold, fever and cough.

Some babies have a high frequency of colds, and every viral infection is difficult to escape, at this time parents and friends should pay attention to the baby's resistance, and go to a regular hospital for treatment in a timely manner** At the same time, we should also follow the doctor's instructions to supplement the child with immunoglobulin, etc., to improve the baby's resistance, only the baby's body resistance comes up, and the baby's immune system can really compete with the external viruses and bacteria.

In addition to supplementing through drugs, we also have to put more effort into the baby's diet on weekdays, meat and vegetarian matching, balanced nutrition is crucial, especially in the important period of baby's growth and development, it is necessary to add some substances rich in protein, inorganic salts and a series of trace elements in time.

At the same time, eating more seasonal fruits and vegetables is also the key to improving the immunity of the baby, most people may have heard that the brighter the color of the fruits and vegetables, the higher the nutritional value, although there is not too much cutting-edge assessment basis, but even if you supplement fiber, it is not a bad thing to promote the absorption of nutrients in the digestive system.

Baby cough after a cold is a normal thing, parents and friends do not have to worry too much, but can not underestimate this "defense war", figure out the cause of the cough, prescribe the right medicine, and improve the baby's resistance, I believe that the probability of babies getting sick will be lower and lower in the near future.

Maybe it's because the baby's immunity is so poor, I think you can give him some medicine or put on an extra piece of clothing for him, and then cover his sweat. Give him some red bean barley tea.

I think it may be that the baby has already suffered from pneumonia, in this case, you need to go to the hospital, you need to let the baby get water, let the baby drink a little pear water.

Cook some rock sugar pears for your baby to eat, which also has the effect of relieving cough. Give him milk powder to drink, pay attention to choose hypoallergenic, such as milk protein partially hydrolyzed Minjia.

The baby's cold has been bad, intermittent, may be due to bronchitis caused by viral infection, you must feed the baby more warm, it is best to go to the hospital to let the doctor diagnose it, and carry out a professional **, so as not to cause other diseases.

After the cold is cured, if there is still a cough, you can use some Ganjin pear paste to moisten the lungs and relieve cough. The Ganjin pear paste is delicate and thick, and the ingredients with the same origin of medicine and food are milder, which can better care for the child's lungs and spleen. At the same time, it is necessary to eat less foods that aggravate cough, and some foods that are too salty, too sweet, and too greasy will aggravate the child's cough.

Many people who have had a cold will have this question: why is it that my "cold" is all healed, but the cough takes a long time to get better? The cough after a cold lasts for a long time, and if it is not properly **, it will even grow to more than half a month, and the others are secondary, affecting sleep is the most uncomfortable.

What makes coughing so hard?

Some people may say: it is because of a secondary bacterial infection! This understanding exists not only in patients who have some medical knowledge, but also in non-respiratory doctors.

Viral upper respiratory tract infections reduce the natural barrier protection of the upper respiratory tract and often lead to infections with other microorganisms. In international epidemiological surveys, "atypical pathogens" accounted for only about 18%, while in Chinese surveys, atypical pathogens (including: chlamydia, mycoplasma, etc., excluding SARS) accounted for 80%.

In general, if the amount of sputum is large and the color is yellow, it is generally a secondary infection, at this time, it is necessary to check the blood picture, and in order to be cautious, it is best to check the chest X-ray. Patients with elevated blood counts have a high risk of bacterial infection, and different antibiotics should be selected according to different community and nosocomial infections**, my recommendation is penicillin, cephalosporin.

First- and second-generation oral; If the blood picture is not high, the possibility of infection with atypical pathogens is high, and it is recommended that macrolides are preferred, and fluoroquinolones can also be selected.

However, the most common cough after a cold is not caused by a secondary infection, but rather a so-called "airway hyperresponsive state". The manifestations are: itchy throat and cough, less phlegm, white phlegm, coughing for a long time, some people say that the lungs are coughed out.

Western medicine can use central antitussive preparations such as codeine, or antihistamines and theophylline can be used orally, but in general, the effect is not very ideal. The effect of this kind of cough is obviously stronger than that of Western medicine, but it is necessary to pay attention to dialectic, generally speaking, my experience is that it should be the most in line with autumn dry cough, and you can use cough powder and a small amount of yin medicine; But I think the best recipe is to add or subtract the soup to save the lungs, no matter which recipe, you should add one or two blood-invigorating drugs, among which peony and angelica are the best, both of which are not only more common in ancient medical cases, but also have the effect of relieving muscle spasms in modern pharmacological research.

However, although the cough is uncomfortable, most people will heal themselves sooner or later, and whether it is cured or not is a problem of different requirements for the quality of life of a person, but there are still some people who have the persistent phenomenon of airway hyperresponsiveness.

No matter what the disease is, as long as a person has a cough, it is because of an infection by external bacteria, and the human immune system is cleaning up the virus in the human body. If this is the case all the time, it means that the child has been in an unhealthy environment. Therefore, just treating cough cannot solve the problem fundamentally.

After many people suffer from the flu, the symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose improve, and they begin to cough endlessly, mainly dry cough, accompanied by itchy throat and dry throat or feel that there is phlegm in the throat and it is difficult to cough out, or feel that there is air flow in the chest rushing up and coughing, which is often more obvious at night or in the morning.

Many people come to the TCM hospital and often ask: Is my cough hot or cold? Generally speaking, if the coughed up sputum is yellow, accompanied by dry mouth, yellow urine, and dry stools, the cough with a yellowish tongue coating is often a hot cough.

If the phlegm is white, the urine is long, and the stool is not dry, the cough with a whitish tongue coating is often a chilly cough.

In terms of treatment, patients with hot cough can use 10 grams of mulberry leaves, 10 grams of southern almonds, and 10 grams of northern sand cucumber to boil water; Cold cough patients can use 10 grams of Su leaves, 10 grams of southern almonds, and 10 grams of northern sand cucumber to boil water to drink, and when boiling, you can add three jujubes and three pieces of ginger to taste, and drink two to three times a day.

More than 80% of influenza is caused by viruses, viral infection caused by tracheal mucosal damage, cough often lasts for three to eight weeks does not heal, some patients use "three vegetarian and one soup" (antibiotics, hormones, vitamins, rehydration) or "antibiotics plus antitussives"**, but we do not know that virus ** infection is ineffective with antibiotics when there is no bacterial infection, hormones are effective for allergic cough, but have different degrees of impact on blood sugar, blood pressure, and gastric mucosa. Antitussive drugs can temporarily relieve cough symptoms, and once the effect time has passed, the cough is still the same as before. Therefore, there is currently no specific drug for post-influenza cough, so you can find a TCM physician in a regular hospital to distinguish the syndrome and prescribe antiviral Chinese medicine with antiviral effect.

However, if the cough persists for more than two weeks after the flu, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up**, such as taking x-rays to rule out pneumonia and blood tests to rule out mycoplasma infection. If you have bacterial pneumonia or mycoplasma infection, you may be able to add antibiotics under the guidance of your doctor**.

The daily diet can eat more foods rich in vitamins A and C to enhance the defense ability of mucosal epithelial cells. Vitamin A is found in liver, kidney, egg yolk, carrot, pumpkin, apricot and other foods. Vitamin C is high in spinach, tomatoes, hawthorn, and kiwifruit.

Eat less fried and spicy food, and less marine fish, crab and shrimp. In addition, do not stay up late and work hard, quit smoking and drinking, and exercise appropriately, such as jogging, playing Baduanjin, etc.

I remember when my children were young, they had a cold and cough at night, and the adults were anxious to hear it, and every time they coughed, they were like a hammer smashed into their hearts, but when they went to the hospital for dripping, they felt that it was harmful to the child's long-term health, so they would not choose to go to the hospital. In order to try not to go to the hospital for cross-infection, and to recuperate at home, it is also conducive to better rest for adults and children, so I read a lot of books on traditional Chinese medicine, and consulted information, and in a short period of time, I have accumulated some experience in making children get better with colds and coughs at home.

If I have a cold and fever, I will stay for two or three nights most of the time, eating and cooling down physically. Wash the towel with warm water, wipe the top of the head, chest and back, measure the body temperature with a thermometer for half an hour, pay attention to the changes in the child, often the temperature will slowly return to normal for a day and night, and the temperature will drop down, and the child will have a runny nose, indicating that it has improved slightly, but there will be cough symptoms.

In the winter of colds, for colds and coughs, it is generally lung heat and external wind chill. Therefore, every time I have a cold and cough, I will take a hot water bottle to compress the child's back, and there is a lung Yu point on the back, this auxiliary ** method is very effective, let the child lie on his side, wrap the hot water bottle in a towel, lean on the child's back, insist on two days, basically the child's cough will be light in about three days.

Strengthen physical activity with a cold. Soon after a cold, you can crawl indoors, run, squat, dance, and so on. If you are in better health, you can choose to spend half an hour outdoors around 10 a.m. and 3 p.m. every day.

Generally, people with a normal cold can be ** through their own immunity for about a week. But this time the virus ** infection is more severe, if the cough is always endless after a cold, needless to say that it must be coughing up pneumonia, you must go to the hospital to check the rash, it may cause bronchitis, bronchiectasis or other possibilities.

Colds pay attention to the improvement of the environment: 1. Reduce going to crowded places, reduce pollution such as cigarettes, oil smoke, dust, etc., and keep the space clean, tidy and odorless. Air purifiers can be purchased if possible.

2. Pay attention to keeping warm and moisturizing. The indoor temperature is controlled at about 20 degrees Celsius, and a humidifier is used. 3. You can order agarwood, sandalwood, pine and cedar oil, orange peel and other natural plant fragrances rich in aromatic oil.
