A. यह एलर्जी खांसी/जुकाम प्रतीत होता है। आपके बच्चे की हिस्ट्री ऐसा बता रही है। वे शरीर के चारों ओर तापमान भिन्नता (गर्म से ठंडे या ठंडे से गर्म पर्यावरणीय परिवर्तन) से जुड़े हो सकते हैं, जो शरीर के कंट्रोल के बाहर है जिससे आमतौर पर शाम / रात और सुबह खांसी होती है। जांच की आवश्यकता है और एलर्जी विरोधी दवाएं शुरू करें। डॉ से मिलें और इस तरह के तापमान में बदलाव को रोकें। कम से कम एक महीने के लिए एंटी एलर्जिक दवाएं शुरू करने की संभावना है और डॉक्टर तय करेंगे कि बच्चे को इनहेलर थेरेपी या नेबुलाइजेशन की जरूरत है या नहीं।x जब एलर्जी को नियंत्रित नहीं किया जाता है तो वे आंतरायिक श्वसन संक्रमण का कारण बन सकते हैं जिसके लिए अन्य दवाओं की आवश्यकता होती है। ज्यादातर बच्चों को एलर्जी की दवा शुरू में दी जाती है एलर्जी को कंट्रोल करने के लिए x

A. If your 5-year-old son is experiencing a persistent or frequent cough, it can be concerning and may indicate an underlying issue. A cough that occurs "every time" or is constant can have several potential causes. Here are some common reasons for a persistent cough in children: ### Common Causes of Persistent Cough in Children: 1. **Upper Respiratory Infections (Cold or Flu):** The most common cause of a cough in children is a viral upper respiratory infection, such as a cold or the flu. These infections can cause coughing that lasts for several weeks, even after other symptoms have resolved. 2. **Postnasal Drip:** Allergies or a sinus infection can cause mucus to drip down the back of the throat, leading to a persistent cough, especially at night or after lying down. 3. **Asthma:** Asthma can cause a frequent cough that might worsen at night or with exercise. Asthma-related coughs are often dry and can be accompanied by wheezing or shortness of breath. 4. **Allergies:** Environmental allergens such as pollen, dust mites, mold, or pet dander can trigger a persistent cough in children who have allergies. 5. **Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD):** GERD occurs when stomach acid flows back into the esophagus, irritating the throat and causing a chronic cough. This type of cough may worsen after meals or when lying down. 6. **Whooping Cough (Pertussis):** This bacterial infection can cause severe coughing fits followed by a "whooping" sound when the child breathes in. Pertussis is less common now due to vaccinations but can still occur. 7. **Habit Cough:** Sometimes, children develop a habit of coughing without a physical cause. This is often referred to as a psychogenic or habit cough and may occur in response to stress or anxiety. 8. **Exposure to Irritants:** Exposure to smoke, pollution, or strong odors can irritate the airways and cause a persistent cough. 9. **Foreign Body Aspiration:** If a child inhales a small object (like a piece of food or a toy), it can cause a chronic cough. This situation requires immediate medical attention. ### When to Seek Medical Attention: - **Persistent or Chronic Cough:** If the cough lasts more than a few weeks, it is important to consult a pediatrician to determine the cause. - **Associated Symptoms:** Seek medical attention if the cough is accompanied by wheezing, difficulty breathing, fever, weight loss, or if your child seems very tired or unwell. - **Changes in Cough Pattern:** If the cough changes in intensity, frequency, or character (e.g., becomes barky, whooping, or productive with mucus), it is worth getting it checked. ### What You Can Do: - **Keep Your Child Hydrated:** Ensure your child drinks plenty of fluids to help thin mucus and soothe the throat. - **Use a Humidifier:** A cool-mist humidifier in your child's room can help keep the air moist and soothe irritated airways. - **Avoid Irritants:** Keep your child away from smoke, dust, and strong odors that can aggravate coughing. - **Monitor and Document:** Keep a record of the cough's duration, frequency, and any associated symptoms to share with your pediatrician. ### Conclusion: A persistent or frequent cough in a 5-year-old can have various causes, ranging from mild (like a common cold) to more serious (such as asthma or a foreign body aspiration). It’s best to consult a pediatrician to determine the cause and receive appropriate treatment. Early diagnosis and management can help alleviate your child's symptoms and prevent complications.
