The causes of recurrent bad cough in children include infectious and non-infectious diseases. Infectious disease triggers include weak resistance, pathogen factors are related, non-infectious factors related to allergies, genetics, immune abnormalities, need to be dealt with according to the specific cause of the disease.
1. Weak resistance: children’s resistance tends to be weaker due to imperfect physical development, and the respiratory tract is more susceptible to invasion. Especially with seasonal changes, infections of common pathogens, such as pneumococcus and streptococcus, are prone to recurrent coughing.
2. Pathogen factors: If the infection pathogen is not resolved, it will lead to the child’s cough symptoms can not be relieved, if belongs to the mycoplasma infection caused by the need to receive anti-infective treatment, therapeutic drugs such as macrolides and quinolone antibiotics.
3. Non-infectious factors:
(1) Allergy: If the child is allergic, especially in the fall and winter seasons, it is easier to cough repeatedly, you need to go to the hospital to receive an assessment of the allergy, and after diagnosis, receive anti-allergy treatment, such as antihistamines and glucocorticoids.
(2) Genetic, immune: cough variant asthma: a non-infectious disease, airway hyperresponsiveness, associated with genetic and immune abnormalities, often manifested as recurrent coughing, anti-infective ineffective, need to be diagnosed by the respiratory department to be glucocorticosteroids and other anti-asthma drugs for long-term regulation.
The above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a physician, repeated cough does not get better need to actively seek medical attention.
