Question
Does crying when a child has a cold affect the lungs?
Answer
There are many causes of coughing. If it’s accompanied by fever and runny nose, it could be a cold, pharyngitis, or tonsillitis. If coughing persists after a cold, it might be bronchitis. If coughing is less at night, it could be asthma. If there’s difficulty breathing without fever, with visible chest Depression during each breath, it might be bronchitis or asthma. If there’s difficulty breathing with a barking cough, it could be acute laryngitis. If there’s fever, poor complexion, and difficulty breathing, it might be pneumonia. Sudden severe coughing, difficulty breathing, and a poor complexion could indicate swallowing a foreign object.
