What should I do if my child has a tickling throat and wants to cough all the time?

Coughing is one of the common symptoms of respiratory diseases and a protective reflex. Coughing is a protective respiratory reflex action to remove secretions or foreign bodies from the respiratory tract. Children can effectively remove secretions from the respiratory tract or foreign bodies that enter the airway through the cough reflex. Whenever the seasons change, some babies with poor resistance are prone to diseases caused by viral and bacterial infections, and have a tickling throat that always makes them cough and even affects their sleep. Many parents rush to give their children drugs to stop coughing and suppress cough. In fact, it is inappropriate to take medicine blindly. The most common cause of a tickling throat and cough is an upper respiratory tract infection, also known as a cold. If it appears recently, consider acute upper respiratory tract infection, you can take Chinese medicine to clear heat and detoxify the throat, and cough with a lot of phlegm, together with drugs to stop coughing and reduce phlegm. If the cough is accompanied by redness and pus in the tonsils, it can also cause discomfort in the throat and cough. If the cough is greater than 4 weeks, consider chronic cough, which may be chronic pharyngitis, rhinitis, sinusitis, cough variant asthma, heart-caused cough, gastroesophageal reflux, etc. The causes are different. Tickling cough is a common respiratory symptom in children. It is quickly relieved by a light and easily digestible diet and conventional medication such as pharyngeal benefit and cough suppressant. If the disease lasts for a long time, prompt medical attention is recommended.
