Cystic fibrosis - the cause of frequent coughs
If a child begins to cough, then before doing something, you need to determine the origin of the cough. First of all, it is necessary to exclude such a disease as cystic fibrosis. This disease refers to genetic disorders and is inherited. As a rule, such a disease is revealed in the first 2 years of a child's life.
It consists in the fact that with its development, almost all organs that secrete mucus are affected: the respiratory system, the pancreas, sweat glands, intestinal glands, salivary glands, sexual glands. Because of the defect of the gene, the secret in them becomes viscous, dense and its separation is difficult.
Determination of the presence of this disease is carried out even in the walls of the maternity hospital. So, the blood intake for cystic fibrosis is about 4-5 days.
In what other cases can there be coughing?
If the doctor has established, that the child constantly podkashlivaet not because of a cystic fibrosis, to mum there is nothing to do, how to search for other reason.
In most cases, it is covered on the surface. So, very often a child coughs in the morning, - a physiological cough that is not necessary to treat something. He is associated with the accumulation of sputum in the bronchi, because of the long absence of motor activity, in particular, sleep.
In those cases when the baby begins to cough after hypothermia, it is necessary to suspect a cold disease, which is easy to determine by raising the temperature of the body.
Also, podkashivaniya can be observed in the initial stages of laryngitis, when the baby appears in the throat.
Thus, do not delay the visit to the pediatrician. timely start of treatment is important for any disease.
