Case Description
When assessing and managing cough in pediatric patients, a systematic clinical approach is essential to identify the underlying cause and provide appropriate care. Begin by obtaining a detailed history, including the onset, duration, and characteristics of the cough, as well as associated symptoms....
Case Summary
- Coughing in children is primarily triggered by irritants or foreign substances in the airway, activating chemo and mechanical receptors. These receptors are located throughout the airway, from the larynx to the smaller bronchi. The coughing reflex serves to protect the airway, preventing blockages and hypoxia, with a normal range of 10-25 coughs per day considered typical.
