Baby always coughs, what should parents pay attention to?
- How often does cough occur, such as in the morning or at night? Cough when body position changes, for example, is it especially easy to cough before and after lying down to standing up? Does cough worsen after exercise or cold air? Do you often have a cough that clears your throat? Has the number of coughs changed after eating liquid food? Has the cough changed when the child is focused? Have both parents had any allergy to food, drugs or pollen?
What should parents do if their children cough?
- When a child coughs and the situation does not improve or even worsen, he should go to the Department of Respiratory Medicine of Children instead of waiting until 4 weeks later. Take the initiative to learn popular science knowledge of children’s cough.
Many parents’ fear and anxiety are due to lack of relevant knowledge. Parents should learn to find reliable information sources, such as using Doctor Clove APP.
In particular, some parents find it more convenient to search for encyclopedic questions and answers on the Internet, but the sources of such information are not necessarily reliable, so parents should not blindly believe it.

Parents are requested to realize that every time a doctor is changed, the doctor must start to understand the diagnosis and treatment history of cough again.
In the process of dealing with cough for a long time, parents tend to show distrust of the first doctor. Often, if the cough problem cannot be solved for one week, several doctors have been replaced.
Frequent change of receiving doctors or hospitals means that many examinations need to be repeated and doctors’ diagnosis and treatment thinking needs to be reestablished, which is not good for babies or parents.
