儿童咳嗽的诊断思路OA

Cough is a protective physiological reflex of the body and the most common reason for children to attend pediatric outpatient and emergency departments,serving as a common symptom of various diseases rather than an independent one.The etiologies and management methods of cough vary significantly with different courses,natures and ages of children,bringing many challenges to clinical diagnosis and treatment.This paper classifies pediatric cough by course,nature and etiology,and clarifies the clinical characteristics of acute and chronic cough as well as dry and wet cough,focusing on the common etiologies for chronic dry and wet cough and the key diagnostic points in children;meanwhile,the diagnosis and treatment process from initial assessment to transfer to specialty department is sorted out,which provides references for constructing a systematic line of thinking about diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pediatric cough and achieving precise diagnosis and treatment..
