When the Kid Is Ill: Cough

Today is a week since my younger one-year-old daughter started caughing and it gets worse and worse. We have already started taking in antibiotics for our pediatrician heard some weeze inside. But there are some general rules about cough and its treatment in children.

Coughing is a healthy and important reflex that helps protect the airways in the throat and chest.
Coughs are one of the most common symptoms of childhood illness. Although a cough can sound awful, it's not usually a sign of a serious condition.
there are different types of cough, among which are

  • "Barky" Cough
  • Whooping Cough
  • Cough With Wheezing
  • Nighttime Cough
  • Daytime Cough
  • Cough With a Fever
  • Cough With Vomiting
  • Persistent Cough
