There is nothing wrong with coughing, in principle. This is a natural process of the body, like breathing or nutrition. By the way, it is he who is the protector of breathing. From which it follows that if a child has a cough without fever and a runny nose (or both), then this is an occasion to take urgent measures. The body tells you in plain text: breathing in the way has a barrier that needs to be removed.
So, if the child does not cough for several minutes, then it's time to sound the alarm. There may be several reasons for this behavior of the body. The first is inflammatory processes in the nasopharynx, slowly spreading deeper and deeper to the lungs. There may be several causes of inflammation, it is advisable to discuss them with your doctor. Self-medicating is dangerous for the life of a child.
If a child has a cough without fever and a runny nose, and it does not go away for a long time, then this may be a signal of an allergic reaction or an indicator that a foreign object is stuck in the baby's throat. Depending on the cause, you should act.
For example, an allergy cannot be determined so easily, even a doctor will not make a diagnosis by eye. In any case, it is necessary to undergo an examination and pass a series of tests.
If a child has a cough without fever and a runny nose, and it turns out that the cause is a stuck item (fish bone, small toy, etc.), consult a doctor immediately. The sooner you take action, the better!
A cough in a child does not go away for a long time and due to damage to the body by helminthic invasions. The thing is that these parasitic organisms can freely move through our organs at a time when their size is negligible. Thus, they can be found anywhere (in the nose, ear, lungs). To identify this ailment, it is necessary to donate blood, after which the doctor will prescribe treatment, and the problem will come to naught.
Another reason why a child coughs without a fever and a cold does not go away for a long time is dry air. In this case, the cough reflex is caused by the banal drying of the nasopharyngeal mucosa. Give your child a drink and install a humidifier in the room.
The reasons why a cough in a child does not go away for a long time, doctors include problems with the gastrointestinal tract, namely reflux disease and biliary dyskinesia, as a result of which the contents of the stomach are thrown into the esophagus, and then into the respiratory tract. Examination and subsequent long-term treatment will help your baby. Nowadays, doctors can easily cope with this disease, especially at the initial stage.
Like all of the above reasons, the onset of causeless cough can be affected by residual manifestations of a previous illness, such as whooping cough or acute respiratory infections. The primary manifestations of tuberculosis or diseases of the nasopharynx (sinusitis, tonsillitis, adenoids) are no less likely.
Children from coughing (experts insist on this) should not prescribe treatment on their own. All medications should be appropriate and recommended by your doctor. It is important not to miss the moment when a serious disease is in the initial stage, attributing everything to a common allergy and drowning out the symptoms with cough tablets.
