Dream - Coughing is a common respiratory illness that occurs in children. Usually, coughing is caused by the infection of the lower respiratory tract by a virus, which will heal within one to three weeks.
Because it is quite common and the healing time is relatively short, parents do not pay full attention or provide proper treatment when their child is coughing. However, the cough experienced by the little one may be the beginning of chronic cough.
Chronic cough is a condition that causes sufferers to experience continuous coughing for a period of more than four weeks, which may or may not be accompanied by other symptoms. This condition is certainly very uncomfortable as it can disrupt sleep patterns and daily life, especially for children who have to experience it. Therefore, as parents, we need to know what triggers can bring the little one to this condition of chronic cough at any time. Let's find out more.
The most common cause of chronic cough in children is upper respiratory tract infection by flu viruses. According to William Berger, a clinical professor from California, children usually experience about eight to ten colds per year.
There are several symptoms of a cold that we can recognize, such as mild fever, cough, stuffy nose, and even vomiting due to the inability to expel mucus. From now on, we must be more cautious, yes.
Have Dream friends ever seen a little one experiencing a cough that doesn't stop for more than ten days? If yes, they may be suffering from sinusitis. Sinusitis is an inflammation of the nasal mucosa and the air-filled cavities that produce mucus or sinuses.
The longer the nose is clogged, the sinuses become a breeding ground for bacteria. This is what causes the child to cough continuously and produce greenish-yellow mucus. So, please consult a doctor if you recognize the above sinus symptoms in your little one.
Asma is a respiratory disease that affects the small airways in the lungs. This is what later becomes a common trigger for chronic cough in children.
"Usually, asthma can arise due to several factors, such as upper respiratory tract infections, allergies, irritation from cigarette smoke, cold and dry air, fatigue from exercise, and excessive emotions. Therefore, we must strive to ensure that the little one is protected from these conditions."
Pertussis or more commonly known as whooping cough is a respiratory disease caused by bacteria. This disease is also highly contagious to the respiratory tract and lungs.
So, in order for our child to avoid the condition of whooping cough which has the potential to become a chronic cough, we need to know what the symptoms are. Whooping cough starts with symptoms like a runny nose and sneezing, followed by short, difficult-to-control coughs. Sometimes this cough is also accompanied by a distinctive high-pitched sound. In addition, whooping cough experienced by children can sometimes cause vomiting and difficulty breathing. Therefore, start paying attention to activities that can cause this condition in the little one, okay!
GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease) is a condition where stomach acid rises into the esophagus, which can happen when the stomach is weak or not functioning properly. When children experience this, it is usually accompanied by symptoms such as coughing, especially at night and when they are lying down.
Selain itu, GERD yang mereka alami tak jarang menimbulkan sakit di dada maupun tenggorokan.
