Tips for Recurrent Cold Cough in Children<\/a><\/h3>
\n\n \n\n Cold cough is a complaint that is often experienced by people, both adults and children. Coughs and colds in infants and children often occur during the transition season compared to adults. \n\n Many cases of recurring cold coughs in children, especially toddlers, so that almost every month children always go to the doctor. Why is that ? Because the body's immunity in children, especially toddlers, is not perfect. If the frequency of coughing colds does not exceed 6 times a year, then it is still within reasonable limits. \n\n Several factors cause cold coughs in children, namely viral, bacterial and allergic infections. Most cold coughs in infants and children are caused by viruses. However, if the child has recovered, he will get immunity against the virus that triggers it. Then, if a cold cough is caused by an allergy, the symptoms are similar to a cold cough due to a virus, but it is usually more difficult and takes longer to heal if the child continues to be exposed to the triggering factor for the allergy. \n\n \n \n Some things that can be done to prevent children from experiencing repeated cold coughs are: \n \n \n 1. It is highly recommended that all toddlers get influenza vaccination in order to increase their immune system \n \n \n 2. Do not give food such as dry snacks, cold drinks, spicy foods \n \n \n 3. Drink lots of water and lots of vegetables and fruit \n \n \n 4. Don't get close to someone with the flu \n \n \n 5. Get enough sleep, with temperatures that are not too cold and air gusts don't hit the child's body directly \n \n \n\n Some things that can be done to prevent recurrent colds include consuming fruits rich in vitamin C, drinking enough water to prevent dehydration in infants or children, eating and getting enough rest. Keep children away from foods and drinks that can exacerbate coughs and avoid allergy triggers. \n\n If the child still has a cold cough, parents need to go to the doctor to get drug therapy according to the complaint and it also depends on the cause of the cold cough, whether due to infection or allergies. \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Common Cough or an Allergic Cough? let's see the explanation!<\/a><\/h3>
hermina's friend, Coughing is the body's way of reacting when the throat or airways become inflamed, either due to allergies or infection. This reaction serves to protect the respiratory tract from foreign objects or germs, such as bacteria, viruses, dust, or animal hair. \n\n In addition to itching, one of the signs experienced when experiencing allergies is respiratory problems. One of the most common symptoms of breathing problems is coughing. Allergy owners may be confused about the difference between an allergic cough and a normal cough, for example due to the flu. So, what are the characteristics of an allergic cough? \n\n How to Distinguish an Allergic Cough from Other Coughs \n\n Even though they look the same, allergic coughs and regular coughs have differences, especially in terms of the causes and symptoms that appear. \n\n Allergic coughs are caused by the body's immune reaction to allergy-triggering substances or allergens, such as dust, mold, pollen, animal dander or droppings, cigarette smoke, and air pollution. This type of cough is not contagious and symptoms can last for months. Some of the symptoms of an allergic cough include: \n\n \n Dry cough or clear phlegm \n Itching in the throat \n Runny nose \n Stuffy nose \n Sneezing constantly \n Difficulty breathing \n Fatigue \n Headache \n \n\n \n\n How to Overcome Allergic Coughs and Common Coughs Naturally \n\n The most important treatment for allergic cough is to avoid exposure to allergies. Once you avoid certain allergens, your symptoms will usually improve on their own within a few days. \n\n In addition to staying away from allergens, you can also overcome them in the following easy ways: \n\n \n Drink plenty of water to keep the body hydrated. \n Use a humidifier or hot steam to clear the airways and relieve the symptoms of an allergic cough. \n Take a warm bath to loosen phlegm and reduce coughing. \n Rinse the nose with a saline solution to clear the nose of dirt and relieve the symptoms of nasal congestion. \n Clean the surrounding environment to avoid various allergens, including dust, mold, and pollen. \n Use an extra pillow while sleeping to make it easier to breathe. \n \n\n \n\n If the symptoms of an allergic cough are already very bothersome, you can take medicines to relieve the symptoms that appear, such as antihistamines to relieve allergic reactions and decongestants to relieve nasal congestion. \n\n For a common cough caused by a viral infection, it usually goes away on its own within a few days. You just need to get more rest and take symptomatic medication. \n\n If the symptoms of an allergic cough or normal cough that you are experiencing do not improve with the various remedies above or even if the symptoms get worse, immediately consult a doctor to identify the cause and get the right treatment. \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>
