The cough is gone but comes back

Coughing is a very common symptom, especially for children. Frequent coughing is very bad for their health. The repeated coughing of children that cannot be cured is a worry for many parents. As long as they hear the coughing sound of their children, they will feel very uncomfortable. Some parents will give their children some cough syrup to relieve their children's cough. In fact, this practice is not appropriate, because there are many reasons for children's coughing, and cough syrup is not omnipotent. For some coughs caused by some reasons, cough syrup is ineffective. So why is the cough not cured for a long time?

There are many patients who suffer from recurrent coughs. Because the cough lasts for a long time, the medication is not effective, and they go to the hospital after multiple treatments. We conducted a statistical analysis of these children and conducted targeted examinations on them. We found that these children did not have colds but allergic coughs. If this disease is not treated in time, it may develop into childhood asthma.

In recent years, many scholars have found that there is an increasing trend in the number of childhood asthma patients, especially cough variant asthma. Because the symptoms are atypical, a considerable number of patients with chronic cough are caused by allergies. Medically known as "allergic cough" or "cough variant asthma", this type of patient is more common in children with allergic constitutions, especially those who have suffered from eczema, allergic rhinitis as infants, or whose parents have a history of allergic diseases, chronic urticaria, allergic asthma, etc. These children are also prone to drug allergies. Because children with allergic constitutions have a highly sensitive bronchial mucosa, their tolerance to external stimuli is reduced, and their immunity to diseases is worse than that of normal children. Allergic cough can be caused by certain factors such as respiratory tract infection, irritating odors, dust, cold air, fatigue, and some allergenic foods such as shrimp, fish, and seafood.

As parents, we must pay attention to children's recurrent coughing. Repeated coughing in children can have a great impact on the body and may also cause other diseases, so parents must have a correct understanding of children's cough and not give children medications casually, especially antibiotics. When a young child has a cough, he or she must go to the hospital for examination in time and use the medicine correctly under the guidance of the doctor.
