Deciphering Your Child’s Cough
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
Wednesday Nov 29, 2023
RSV. The flu. Covid. As viruses circulate throughout our workplaces, schools, and homes, knowing what to do for a child's persistent cough can be like a guessing game. How can you tell if or when your child needs more care? Host Liz Edwards talks with Dr. Sarah Adams about deciphering the meaning behind your child's cough.
First, Dr. Adams suggests patience. Did you know that a cough can last up to six weeks after a virus has run its course? With the "tincture of time," most coughs will dissipate or can be treated with minimal effort, especially when the alternatives, like over-the-counter decongestants and cough suppressants, aren't really effective. Things like steam showers and intermittent use of humidifiers can offer relief; but, if your child's cough remains persistent, if s/he has trouble breathing during physical activities or at night, or if more and more steroids are needed, it may be time to look for other contributing factors.
Every child is different, so if you're concerned about your child's cough, listen to this episode to learn more. As Dr. Adams says, "(We) get so excited helping kids! Because when you help a person's child, you help the family."
