Question
How to treat cough after exercise in children?
Answer
Cough is a common symptom of respiratory diseases in children, often recurring when suffering from conditions such as upper and lower respiratory infections, tuberculosis, and asthma. In most cases, the cough gradually improves with antibiotic treatment. However, sometimes even after using various antibiotics and expectorants, the cough does not diminish at all but becomes stubborn. This condition is often cough-variant asthma (commonly occurs at night or in the morning, with exacerbation after physical activity, and less phlegm). Guidance: Use targeted treatment and never blindly use antibiotics. The combination of Chinese and Western medicine (hormones, anticholinergic drugs) shows significant effects. 1) Actively search for allergens: pollen, house dust, mites, paints and dyes. 2) Prevent triggers: First, changes in weather and cold air attacks; secondly, avoid intense exercise after physical activity; thirdly, prevent emotional excitement and crying. 3) Enhance immune function. In summary, the treatment of this disease is a long-term process that requires patience and giving children confidence! Wishing the children a speedy recovery.
