Treatment of dry cough in children

Treatment of dry cough in children is a stage that every mother must experience. In children, coughing often occurs during the cold season, when immunity is especially vulnerable. Treatment of dry cough in children should be meaningful, and the approach to it - serious. After all, it can be not an ordinary cold, but a consequence or symptom of some disease. A prolonged dry cough in a child, without secretion of sputum, often exacerbated at night, is a sign of bronchial asthma. Another cough can be a sign of diseases such as laryngitis, inflammation of the nasal appendages (mucus enters the lungs through the pharyngeal wall), heart failure. This symptom can be caused by the fact that the child is often in a smoke-filled room and his internal organs thus try to get rid of the negative consequences of the effects of nicotine. There are also cases when cough is caused by allergic reactions or presence in the lungs of foreign bodies. Typically, such bodies are spikes, formed as a result of an incomplete inflammation of the lungs. But you should know that coughing is a method of protecting the body and removing excess substances (mucus, phlegm, etc.). If a child has a severe dry cough and he does not pass for a long time, then you just need to apply measures to eliminate it. To do this, you just need to see a doctor for a thorough examination.

Methods of treatment are quite diverse: syrups, sugar candies, lozenges, ointments, pills, mustards, compresses, candles and much more.

A simple folk method helps, which later accepted traditional medicine as a plentiful drink, it helps to thin phlegm and remove them. Treatment of dry cough in children should be different from cough treatment in adults because the drugs that are so good for us, adults, are not recommended for children. Of course, without medicines to treat dry cough is almost impossible and quite dangerous, but it would be good if this treatment was not done without traditional medicine. No doctor can deny the curative effect of mustard plasters (in moderation, of course). Excellent herbs when coughing herbs, but in our time, few people find time to collect medicinal plants, so here is indispensable "Bronchophyte". This is a collection of herbs that help to cure cough, you can buy it in any pharmacy.

After all, your child can cough due to whooping cough, laryngitis, asthmatic bronchitis, tuberculosis, allergies. Cough for these diseases is somewhat different, it is marked by its peculiarities, but do not risk your child's health, independently diagnosing him and prescribing treatment. Be sure to contact a medical institution. Even if you decide to treat a cough, be careful: with proper treatment this symptom should disappear within 7 days.
