Rubbing, massage, compresses for the treatment of non-productive cough in children

Rubbing, massage, compresses - any heating procedures can be performed only if there is no high body temperature in the patient. Especially cautious should be treated with such drugs in the treatment of dry cough in children.

If the child has a dry cough that is allergic or caused by whooping cough or a false croup - in these cases the use of various strongly smelling or allergenic means can worsen a condition, especially often causes an allergy of ointment - Doctor Mom, which structure includes - camphor, menthol, eucalyptus, muscat, turpentine oil, thymol. For ointments that have a warming effect, you can refer - Doctor Mom, Barsuchok, Pulmeks, Evkabal - many pediatricians Do not advise to use these ointments for children under 2 years, and in case the child is prone to allergies, do not use at all.

As for the massage, it can also be produced only at a low body temperature, in the absence of even suspicion of complications from Orvi or influenza. It is best for bronchitis, because the massage is designed to improve the sputum, but it can also be produced when the condition is relieved with an unproductive cough in children and adults. Drainage massage should be done very diligently, after a warm bath. After the massage the child should lie down about half an hour, while it should be covered with a warm blanket, and at night you can make a compress.

For a compress, you can make such a solution - 1 tbsp. a spoon of sunflower oil, 1 tbsp. spoonful of vodka, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of honey - this mixture should be heated in a water bath. In this solution, soak a linen rag, so large as to cover the neck and the interlap zone, put cotton wool on top of the cloth, then cellophane. To the back of the baby, you should fasten the compress with a scarf or scarf. It should be borne in mind that the child so have to sleep all night, the nodules should be made small and placed on the side. Every day, such a compress should not be done, it is better every other day.

The room in which the child sleeps with the compress should be cool air. Very carefully, you should use alcohol for compresses, you can not use it in large quantities, because skin in children under 7 years partially fulfills the function of respiration, and with an overdose can occur alcohol poisoning the kid. The same applies to the use of vinegar to remove temperature - this is an old folk method of reducing the temperature in a child often leads to poisoning, it is not worth it to use.

Medicinal Plants to Help

Climatic conditions in the patient's room with a dry cough

Creating the optimum humidity and air temperature in the patient's room is also an essential condition for the early transition of dry cough to productive, because dry, dusty, too warm air aggravate the condition of the mucous membranes of the nasopharynx and the state of the lower respiratory ways. It is very important to observe the right climatic conditions in order to avoid complications from viral and infectious diseases so that pathogens do not descend to the lower respiratory tract.

• Humidity should be not less than 50%, more precisely from 50 to 70%
• Air temperature not more than 20С

With dry air, especially in the heating season, you can easily cope with the help of special air humidifiers, on the wound of household appliances they are now a great choice. It is more difficult to create a comfortable temperature, if the apartment has central heating and you can not regulate the heating of the room, in this case, you should always keep the windows open.

It is also very important that the air is clean, for this you should make a daily wet cleaning, the room should be missing carpets and carpeting. It is also best to use air purifiers.

Antitussive - it is dangerous to use without prescription

Combined antitussives with a dry cough should only be used as prescribed by the doctor, such as Sinecode, Stoptusin, Libexin, Broncholiths, since these drugs can lead to stagnation of sputum, mucus in the airways, some of them have a central effect on cough centers.

They are shown with such diseases, when dry cough is painful, it strongly prevents sleep, for example, with whooping cough. It is best to use for the treatment of dry cough Herbion with plantain, Bronchicum, Linkas.

Than to treat a dry cough

To correctly determine what to treat a dry cough, you need, first of all, to identify the reasons that contributed to its occurrence. Coughing is a loud exhalation, however, not everything would be so painful if it did not arise arbitrarily and had no jerky nature. Also, the cough can manifest itself reflexively.

The process of coughing itself is a process of cleansing the airways, which have the property of being irritated by certain causes: mucus, pus, sputum, blood or foreign bodies. Because of the ingress of such substances into the respiratory tract, the cough receptors located on the mucous membrane of the larynx, trachea and bronchi are irritated, which leads to a response of the body. However, airway contamination is not the only cause leading to coughing. It can occur with irritation of the pleura sheets - the membrane covering the wall of the chest cavity and the lungs (in this case, not always inflammation in the respiratory tract).

When we cough, the muscles that are involved in the process of breathing (diaphragm, abdominal and intercostal press) begin to drop sharply. This leads to an increase in intrathoracic pressure and the lungs are squeezed. The air from the lungs passes into the bronchial tree. The speed of air flow in different parts of the path is not the same and ranges from, to 120 m / s. It is this sudden movement of air that can clear bronchi from foreign matter.

Types of cough

Cough is traditionally divided into two types: dry and wet. Unlike wet cough, when dry, there is no excretion of sputum from the lungs and no expectoration.Dry cough greatly irritates the respiratory tract, and therefore more painful.Transition of the body to a wet cough means that the poisonous substances still begin to come out, for example, with colds very often there is a transition from one species to another.

About the infection in the body can be judged by the nature of sputum. In the case of a change in its watery structure to purulent, we can say about the addition of a bacterial infection. If a lot of sputum is coughing up with a wet cough, then this indicates the already completed stages of some diseases: chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, tracheitis. A long-term dry cough that does not become wet can be a sign of pharyngitis, the initial stages of pneumonia or tuberculosis, lung cancer, chronic sinusitis, and so on.

If there are spotting in the sputum, pay special attention to them. Occurrence of single cases indicates a burst blood vessel. If the blood appears steadily, consult a doctor immediately. Such sputum is a sign of tuberculosis, heart failure or even lung cancer.

Doctors divide cough into chronic, prolonged and acute. The duration of an acute cough does not exceed 3 weeks. This kind is typical for diseases of acute respiratory infections, acute bronchitis, pharyngitis and pneumonia. Acute cough accompanies pathology and is, more often than not, protective. Prolonged cough can last up to 3 months. It is not as frequent as its acute form, but it is dangerous because the defeat of the respiratory tract can become chronic.

The most unpleasant cough is chronic. In terms of duration, it is in the first place, that is, it has existed for more than 3 months. Usually does not have strong manifestations, but is a symptom of serious illnesses: bronchial asthma, heart failure, tuberculosis, chronic bronchitis, tumors of the respiratory system. If you do not take the chronic form into account, you run the risk of causing great harm to your health, because over time, the function of a cough from a protective one changes to a pathological one. It leads to serious violations of the respiratory system (emphysema, cardiac dysfunction, and so on).

When the first coughs appear, you must immediately determine their cause and begin to be treated. Waiting for a cough to leave the body on its own is dangerous, due to the possibility of transition to chronic forms. Determine an approximate reason can be by tracking the time of the appearance of a cough. For example, it manifests itself throughout the day, which signals acute infections of the respiratory tract (pharyngitis, bronchitis). If coughing manifests itself especially in the morning, it can be assumed that you are ill with chronic bronchitis or there is an abscess of the lung. For a patient with heart failure, lung cancer or tuberculosis, a predominantly nocturnal cough will be characteristic.

In any case, self-diagnosis and self-treatment should not be done categorically - entrust treatment to a professional.

He will identify the causes of poor health and prescribe drugs with a dry cough that will fight the disease effectively.

Causes of dry cough without inflammation

In addition to the inflammatory processes known to all, a number of other causes affect the appearance of cough, for example:

1. Allergic. Recently, cases of various allergic reactions, especially of children, have become more frequent. Most of the babies suffer from food or other forms of allergy. Pollinosis is a seasonal allergic reaction to plant pollen that occurs in spring and summer. Among the symptoms there is an allergic cough, as well as tearing, itching, sneezing.
2. Bronchial asthma. With such a disease, there is a chronic extremely severe dry cough and attacks of suffocation. This disorder is associated with reduced immunity, weakened by the nervous system and allergy, and not only with bronchial disease, as is commonly believed.
3. Toxic substances in everyday life. Household chemicals, high levels of air pollution from exhaust gases, chemical emissions lead to an allergic dry cough, by irritating the mucous membranes.
4. Parasites. When the organism is infected with ascarids, cases are recorded when, during migration, they enter the lungs, trachea and bronchi, triggering a superficial dry cough.
5. Professional. This reason is associated with labor in harmful production, when the body, poisoned with chemicals, reacts with a cough.
6. Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract sometimes cause a reflex cough without concomitant temperature increase.
7. Reception of medicines. Treatment with some drugs as a side effect is accompanied by a cough. Usually this applies to cardiovascular diseases and manifests itself in 20% of patients during the administration of medications.
8. Heart failure and cardiovascular diseases.

Why is it necessary to treat a cough?

On the one hand, we already know that with the help of cough, the body is protected from pathological substances and particles falling into the respiratory tract. When we observe phlegm, it is logical to conclude that it can quite expectorate without the use of drugs. The process of getting rid of phlegm without treatment will be long enough because of the viscous structure of the substance. In addition, part of the sputum can settle in the bronchi and cause various inflammation and damage. For these reasons, it is still necessary to take effective medications for sputum liquefaction. Then the body will be much easier to get rid of the harmful substance.

In case of an allergic cough, you should consult an allergist doctor who will prescribe the necessary tests and identify the specific cause of the disease. When a severe allergic reaction is manifested, the risk of anaphylactic shock is high enough, so you should not pull a specialist.

From a strong dry cough, the airways suffer much more, because the mucous membrane becomes inflamed and irritates the cough receptors. Thermal, mechanical and chemical effects can also cause irritation of the mucosa. Everyone has had cases when a cough does not relieve the condition, but only hurts. The sputum is not formed, accordingly there is no expectorant process, hence the lack of improvements. Dry cough is dangerous risk of complications: pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum (ingress of air into the mediastinum and pleural cavity). In the future, these processes can trigger the appearance of subcutaneous emphysema. Therefore, dry cough should be cured, and in cases of its recurrence, immediately suppress.

What is the cure for dry cough?

Before choosing a cough medicine, it is recommended that you consult a doctor who prescribes the best remedy. He will tell you which drugs will provide effective impact on the disease and will give you advice on the prevention of various respiratory diseases.

.

Depending on the cause of dry cough, you need to focus on its treatment. If the cause of the disease are: ARVI, pneumonia, bronchitis or tracheitis, then in the early days you will be prescribed drugs against coughing. These include: Herbion, Bronholitin, Codeine, Oxeladin, Glaucin and others.

1. When the attack begins, a good remedy for dry cough is ordinary mint candies. Dr. Mom or Strepsils will cope with this task.
2. When the bacterial infection is added to the treatment, antibiotics are also involved.
3. When sputum begins to form, antitussive drugs are canceled and expectorants are prescribed, for example, ATSTS.
4. To speed up the transition to wet cough, you need to drink plenty of fluids: tea with raspberries, milk with honey or medicinal mineral waters, such as Borjomi.
5. If there is reddening of the throat and throat swelling, the sprays will help relieve pain and swelling (Geksoral, Tantum Verde).

Drugs from dry cough are often combined with other medicines if it is necessary to treat concomitant diseases.

1. To remove swelling and inflammation of the respiratory tract, the doctor prescribes antihistamines (loratadine).
2. Spasms in the bronchi - an occasion for the appointment of inhalations of salbutamol.

To treat accompanying diseases independently, not knowing the combination of drugs and dosages, is absolutely impossible. The mismatch of drugs can turn into a variety of side effects for you, which can be much worse than a cough.

Folk remedies

Folk remedies are capable of beneficially influencing different functions of the body, and in questions of dry cough do not stay on the sidelines. Here are the most delicious and useful.

1. Treatment with hot milk is very popular. Abundant consumption of milk or cream can affect the production of mucus in the throat, which will accelerate the expectorant process. You can add honey or mineral water to the milk. In case of intolerance of such products, tea with butter is suitable.
2. Radish with honey. At the top of the fruit of a black radish, cut out a small hole, put a couple of tablespoons of honey. After 3-4 hours you can take the remedy on a teaspoon 4-5 times a day before meals and before you go to bed.
3. Lemon and honey. 2 tablespoons of glycerin mixed with the juice of one lemon. Mix the mixture well and add honey. Before each use, you need to shake the syrup. If the cough is not strong, then take a teaspoon several times a day. With a strong cough, the number of receptions is adjusted to 6, and as we decrease, we reduce.
4. Mustard mixed with flour and sunflower oil (1 tbsp. l.). We put the cake in polyethylene and apply it to the back or chest, avoiding the heart area. This remedy perfectly warms up and promotes recovery.

.

Whatever effective folk remedies, consult about such treatment with a doctor. Only he can correctly assess the picture of your disease and cure a dry cough.
