Cough or Wheezing in Children
Cough or Wheezing in Children
Coughing and wheezing are common in children. They may be terrible and distressing for you and your child; however, it doesn’t mean that your child has a serious condition. Cough in children is normal and healthy. It is an important reflex that helps in clearing the airways in the throat and chest.
It is usually easy to relieve the symptoms of cough and wheezing at home. Yet, urgent medical attention is needed in case the symptoms become more serious. A child can have a breathing problem during a severe cough. If the symptoms don’t settle, take your child to the pediatrician without any delay. Smoking is also a great risk factor for respiratory problems in children.
Asthma in Children
Coughing is a typical symptom of asthma. If your child is 5-years-old or less, it is hard to tell if his/her cough is due to asthma or it’s just a cough which is quite common in children. Try considering how often your baby wheezes. One time wheezing does not pose any threat that you diagnose it as asthma. Though, it is advisable to keep your child well until they are old enough to have the diagnosis confirmed.
Here are some signs to look out for that may make asthma more likely.
- Notice whether they cough at night or early in the morning
- The Cough doesn’t go completely or attacks any time
- They are getting cough attacks during a sport or after exercise
- If they experience wheezing, breathlessness or a tight chest/tummy ache
- If their cough is triggered by things such as crying, pollen, mold, dust mites, or being around pets.
