Question

Why does a child always have a dry cough when they wake up in the morning?

Answer

Cases of pediatric gastritis are relatively common in pediatric practice. With active and regular treatment, the effects can be quite significant. There are usually several factors that contribute to this: 1. Poor dietary habits 2. Poor hygiene 3. Picky eating or preference for certain foods 4. Incorrect medication use 5. Genetic factors 6. There is also a certain relationship with the child’s lack of physical exercise, overexertion, and stress. 7. Bile reflux. It is recommended to still use oral Western medicine for treatment, targeting the cause of the disease: after eradicating Helicobacter pylori, gastritis is alleviated. Treatment with drugs to kill Helicobacter pylori requires adherence to high doses, sufficient course duration, and combined medication use. Promoting gastrointestinal motility drugs, protecting the gastric mucosa drugs, and antacid treatment can also be applied. And it is important to adjust dietary habits regularly. Pay attention to participating in appropriate physical exercise, not being picky with food, not having preferences for certain foods, not eating irritating food, and developing good eating habits.
