Dream - Poor air quality in major cities in Indonesia due to high levels of air pollution triggers health problems, especially in terms of respiratory issues. Many people have started complaining of recurring cough, cold, and breathlessness that doesn't seem to go away. In children, coughing is the most common symptom. They experience productive cough and dry cough that are very distressing. In the current condition, coughs may not heal because of the poor air quality. Treatment should be specific. Treatment for dry cough and productive cough differs. It is important for fathers and mothers to know this.
Coughing with phlegm occurs when the body produces mucus from the respiratory tract in response to viral infections such as influenza, common cold, pneumonia, or allergic reactions. It is often accompanied by cold symptoms and discomfort in the throat.
dry cough occurs when the respiratory tract experiences irritation and does not produce mucus. The main characteristic of a dry cough is a scratching sensation in the throat and a coughing sound that resembles a wheeze.
In some cases, especially in children, dry cough occurs due to mucus residue after a cold or flu, and can last for several weeks.
The recommended treatment for a productive or dry cough in children depends on the underlying cause, but Sahabat Dream can try home remedies to alleviate cough symptoms with the following methods.
Help children fight mucus with a mucus suction device and by dripping a salt solution into their noses.
Let the child sleep in a higher position. Add a pillow under their head. This helps prevent mucus from the nose flowing into the throat, which can alleviate coughing and throat irritation. It is important to remember that this is only suitable for older toddlers.
Install a humidifier in the child's room to keep the air moist and the throat comfortable so that mucus can come out more easily. If you don't have a humidifier, it's okay, just let the child take a steam bath.
Make sure the child consumes enough fluids such as chicken soup or tea to keep their throat moist and help dissolve mucus.
- Install a Humidifier Install this device in the child's room or invite them to take a steam bath. This can help alleviate discomfort in the chest that often causes a dry cough. - Suckable Cough Medicine Give suckable cough medicine, make sure it contains ingredients like honey and menthol that can help relieve symptoms of a dry cough. - Gargle with Saltwater To relieve irritation, gargle with saltwater. Mix half a teaspoon of salt in water, but make sure the child doesn't swallow it.
The majority of coughs do not indicate a serious illness, and will disappear on their own. If there are signs such as a cough that lasts more than 2-3 weeks and worsens, immediately consult a doctor. Report by Amanda Syavira/Source: Parents.
