Question
Why does my child cough when they are sick? Whether it’s thick or thin sputum, it’s always like something is stuck, with a flushed face. They don’t cough when they take naps at night. Previous treatment situations and effects: Sometimes the medicine prescribed by the doctor works, and sometimes it doesn’t seem to help. Desired assistance: Expecting experts to provide help.
Answer
Children’s persistent cough is usually caused by colds, infections in the trachea or lungs, or consuming cold food. Since children have weaker spleen and stomach functions, it’s especially important to avoid cold and raw foods to prevent exacerbating the condition and prolonging recovery. On the other hand, proper dietary adjustments can often double the effectiveness of treating a child’s cold and cough. During a fever, parents should ensure their child gets plenty of rest and drinks plenty of plain water; generally, they will recover within 5-7 days.
