Cough: Relief | Infants | Kindermed

Coughs in infants can include acute coughs caused by viral infections, such as the common cold, and chronic coughs caused by conditions like asthma, allergies, or other medical issues. Coughs may be productive (bringing up phlegm or mucus) or non-productive (dry coughs).

Common causes of coughs in infants include respiratory infections, such as colds and the flu, asthma, allergies, or exposure to irritants such as cigarette smoke. In more serious cases, conditions like pneumonia or bronchiolitis may require medical attention. Parents should consult a doctor if their baby has difficulty breathing, shows signs of dehydration, or if the cough persists for more than a few weeks.

The Importance of Cough Relief for Infants

Cough relief is crucial because coughing can be distressing for infants and can disrupt their sleep, making them irritable. In more severe cases, coughing can lead to difficulty breathing, which can result in dehydration or other complications.

Cough relief helps to ease discomfort, allowing infants to sleep and breathe more easily. It also helps to clear mucus from their airways. However, not all over-the-counter medications are safe for infants, so parents should always consult a pediatrician before administering any medication.
