The baby has cough and wheezing, parents should pay attention!

The baby has cough and wheezing, parents should pay attention! Chronic, nonspecific inflammation of the bronchi develops as a result of repeated viral and bacterial infections. When the weather changes and the temperature drops, the small blood vessels in the respiratory tract spasm and ischemic, and when the defense function declines, it is easy to be infected with bronchitis. Or, the influence of the living environment, such as smoke and dust, polluted air, and chronic stimulation can also induce this disease.

Smoking causes bronchospasm mucous membrane variation, decreased ciliary movement, and increased mucus secretion.

First

Bronchitis is generally divided into two types clinically, one is chronic bronchitis and the other is acute bronchitis.

1. First of all, let me talk about the characteristics of chronic bronchitis. Generally, chronic bronchitis has cough or long-term cough, repeated cough, and gradually aggravated cough is the outstanding manifestation of this disease. Chronic bronchitis refers to those who suffer from yearly cough and sputum production for more than three months or for one year or two consecutive years after excluding other factors of chronic cough, and there is a certain degree of persistent airflow obstruction.

2. Generally, the incidence rate is higher in winter or spring, especially after getting up in the morning. The cough is less during the day, and the cough is relieved or disappears in summer and autumn. In severe cases, the cough is all four seasons, and the winter and spring are aggravated. The cough is day and night, especially in the morning and evening. severe.

3. Some patients will be infected repeatedly, especially in the cold winter season, or when the temperature changes suddenly, repeated respiratory tract infections are likely to occur. At this time, the patient's asthma will aggravate, the amount of sputum will increase significantly, accompanied by general fatigue and fever. Recurrent respiratory infections such as increased white blood cell count, especially the deterioration of the condition of elderly patients must be given full attention.

4. Severe sputum, usually white iodine foam, more in the morning, often thick and hard to cough up, symptoms will aggravate rapidly after infection with wind-cold or exposure to cold, sputum volume and viscosity increase , or yellow purulent sputum, or accompanied by wheezing, occasionally giant cough, and blood in the sputum. If there is such a patient in the family, try to keep contact with the baby as little as possible. Because the baby's immunity is relatively low, the virus is easily transmitted.

5. The last situation is that when asthma is combined with respiratory tract infection, the bronchiole mucosa is congested and edematous. Sputum obstruction and bronchial duct stenosis can produce wheezing, which is the symptom of wheezing. Wheezing sounds occur in the patient's throat when breathing, and wheezing sounds are heard during lung auscultation. All of the above belong to the category of chronic bronchitis.

6. Acute bronchitis 1. Acute bronchitis often has clinical manifestations such as nasal congestion, runny nose, sore throat or hoarseness. The general symptoms are relatively mild, but there are also low-grade fever, chills, general fatigue, conscious throat itching, and irritating cough, that is, pain behind the breastbone. The amount of sputum is not much in the early stage, but the sputum is not easy to cough up after 3-5 days. The liquid is viscous and turns to thick. After some patients are exposed to cold or inhale cold air, the gas can aggravate or induce cough when stimulated.

7. The patient coughed more obviously when he got up in the morning and at night, and sometimes he coughed continuously. When the cough was severe, he was often accompanied by symptoms of vomiting, nausea, pain in the chest and abdominal muscles, and bronchospasm. There is wheezing.

8. Generally speaking, the course of acute bronchitis is self-limiting. The systemic symptoms can subside within a week, but the cough sometimes prolongs for several weeks. When you go to the hospital for an examination, you will find dry rales and the cough disappears. Occasionally, moist rales can be heard at the bottom of the posterior lung, accompanied by bronchospasm, and wheezing can be heard. Usually, the white blood cell count is normal, and the chest X-ray examination shows no abnormalities.

Third, how to prevent and treat

1. In general, we recommend a light diet, mainly light diet, avoid spicy food, quit smoking, do not drink alcohol, you can replace alcohol with tea, because smoking can also cause increased respiratory secretions, and reflex bronchitis spasm, leading to Difficulty in expulsion of phlegm is conducive to the growth and reproduction of viruses and bacteria, and further aggravates chronic bronchitis. Drinking tea has an advantage. Tea contains theophylline, which can excite sympathetic nerves, dilate bronchi, and relieve cough and asthma symptoms.

2. To control infection, during the onset of acute bronchitis, follow the doctor's advice to choose effective antibacterial drug treatment. You must persist in exercising to improve your cold resistance and body resistance. In winter, you should also insist on washing your hands before going to bed and massaging the soles of your feet and palms. In addition, you can choose medical and health exercises such as Tai Chi and Wu Qin Xi according to your physical fitness, which can effectively improve the disease resistance of your body. It is best to exercise without obvious shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, and excessive fatigue.

3. If you are a family with a baby. If your baby wakes up suddenly while sleeping, you should also pay attention to this situation. It may be a precursor to severe bronchitis. If your baby usually catches a cold, you should also pay attention to this situation, and breathing may also occur. Failure, such serious consequences.

Every parent with a child hopes that the baby is healthy and safe, but the pain is relentless. We have to observe at any time. The baby's immunity is low. No matter what symptoms the baby has, we should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid delaying the baby's condition. , if the above content is helpful to you, please forward it, so that parents with babies around you can also understand, or if you have any different opinions, please leave a message, discuss, comment, and correct below.
