Seasonal cough?

Cough is a very common disease, whether for adults or children. There are many reasons for recurrent or chronic cough, but the cough related to seasonal changes, especially the repeated irritating cough in spring and autumn, is aggravated at night or in the early morning, which is probably caused by asthma. So what is the cause of seasonal cough?

Reason one: respiratory tract infection

The most common cough in autumn and winter is caused by respiratory tract infection. "This cough is sudden. In most cases, children will feel a burning sensation in the nose and throat, and then they will have nasal congestion, sneezing, runny nose, general discomfort and muscle pain. " In addition to going to the hospital for treatment, humidifiers can also be used appropriately at home to increase air humidity and reduce the stimulation of dry air on children's nasal mucosa.

Reason 2: pharyngitis.

"The dry climate in autumn is easy to cause throat discomfort. This discomfort often stimulates children to cough. As long as the throat itches, the degree of cough will be very severe. " Zhangyan said that pharyngitis caused by a cold is also very common. Usually manifested as hoarseness, pus and phlegm, less cough, mostly swallowing. "Older babies will say that they have a sore throat, but babies who can't express it often behave very irritably and refuse to eat milk. At this time, parents need to seek medical advice in time. "

Reason three: allergic cough.

Allergic cough usually occurs at night or in the early hours of the morning, and generally does not cough or rarely coughs during the day. Parents often think that children are caused by colds, and some children are often misdiagnosed as upper respiratory tract infections or bronchitis. If antibiotics and cough medicine are used blindly for a long time, it may develop into a typical bronchial asthma. "Therefore, parents should actively prevent children from allergic cough in autumn and winter, pay attention to keep warm and cold, avoid eating foods that can cause allergic symptoms and reduce allergens.
