The opinion of Dr. Komarovsky

. No matter how good parents you are, no matter how you save your child from illness, a cough can still appear. Any cough is accompanied by a disease. In the lungs, a large or excessive amount of mucus is produced, the body from it and gets rid of by coughing. And the reasons for this may be infectious or allergic reactions, as well as unsatisfactory conditions in which the child lives. For example, the room is too hot, dusty. If the treatment is not properly prescribed, for example, the cough drugs you start giving to the baby, the mucus will remain and will accumulate in the body. And this will lead to pneumonia. With a damp cough, the use of expectorants can also lead to a severe cough, the child can cough all night. A visiting doctor will tell you that the baby has wheezy.

On the video - Dr. Komarovsky talks about the cough treatment in a child of 3 years:

Komarovsky says that there is no "golden pill" for coughing. In order for a child to clear his throat, one has to make sure that the thick sputum becomes liquid. Cough itself is not treated, you need to be able to ease it or increase its effectiveness. To do this, first of all, you need to breathe wet, clean air. To make slime liquid it is possible only, having watered the child. It is worth knowing that no expectorant is comparable in effectiveness to an abundant drink.

By the nature of the cough to determine its nature can not be. But if the cough is accompanied by a disorder of the general condition, there is a temperature, a runny nose, then the infectious principle lies at the basis. If there are no such signs, then this is an allergic cough. It is necessary to analyze the general condition of the child and take action or contact the doctor.
