有时候稍加不注意的话，孩子就会感冒咳嗽，这其实很普遍，但是有时候如果家长错误的去判断孩子生病的状况的话，会有很严重的后果的。
误区一：一有咳嗽就用药
其实咳嗽是一种保护性的反射动作。也是某些疾病的症状，主动性咳嗽可以清除呼吸道内炎症分泌物和异物，帮助清除呼吸道内各种“脏物”的作用，是一种人体的防御能力。很多家长往往一见孩子咳嗽，立即去药房购买咳嗽药，以求尽快治疗，而市场上治疗咳嗽的中西成药可谓是品种繁多琳琅满目，以中成药为例，功效说明大多是“清热化痰，止咳平喘”之流，要辩证用药，小儿在户外玩耍活动剧烈，往往当时或当晚就要咳嗽，这是最常见的一种情况，这种情况既不是细菌感染，也不是病毒感染，是受了凉，属于风寒咳嗽。这个时候不去祛除寒邪而用上清热化痰之类的药物岂不是背道而驰？
误区二 咳嗽能抗就扛
这是另一个极端，近年来，雾霾等大气污染，过敏源增多等因素都使咳嗽等呼吸道疾病问题是司空见惯的症状，很多人认为咳嗽不需要用药，扛一扛就过去了，因此既不看病也不服药，最后导致久咳不愈，甚至继发细菌感染等更复杂的疾病，最好的方法是咨询医生及时遏制病情的发展。
误区三：咳嗽就使用抗生素或者输液
很多人一咳嗽就用抗生素。其实，抗生素针对的是细菌感染，而多数感冒引起的咳嗽往往是病毒感染引起，盲目服用抗生素不仅不能治病，反而会促使细菌产生耐药性，当真正发生细菌感染时，药物就有可能失去疗效。还有些家长是一看吃药不行了就输液，结果许多患儿边打吊瓶，咳嗽边加重，有的甚至越用药，咳嗽越厉害。那么我们就应该思考，是否是治疗思路是否恰当，而不是使用更加高级的抗生素。
误区四：混淆祛痰药和镇咳药
有痰咳嗽的患者在盲目服用了快速止咳药后，可能会暂时获得咳嗽的缓解，殊不知这样会使痰液持续停留在呼吸道内。如果服用强力镇咳药止咳，有可能会使痰液无法及时排出。而服用含黏液溶解药成分的祛痰药，则能使稠厚的痰液黏度降低，便于咳出，从而有效帮助疾病的痊愈。有的用一些止咳中药如五味子、乌梅、柯子等。过早地使用收涩药物，会把邪气收敛住，所以不要一咳嗽就用强力止咳嗽药，应当先弄明白是什么原因引起的咳嗽，然后根据医生的意见处理。
误区五：中药比西药好开中药大处方
孩子一咳嗽，家长很着急，医生也很着急，结果开的方子很大，二三十味药一个方子，每味药还都用到成人的量，希望能快点好！其实中药不能滥用。在中医的治疗理念中，特别讲究因人而异进行辨证论治。中医将咳嗽分为寒咳和热咳，用药也有温、凉、寒、热之分。如果本身对中药或病因病机不了解，用药出现偏差，治疗效果反而会适得其反。即便是在治疗成人咳嗽的时候，走肺经的药（如：麻黄、桂枝、紫菀、桑叶、川贝、桔梗、杏仁等）也是要轻的，因为轻则药性向上，那么对于小孩就更要轻了，有的用网络流行的止咳中药偏方，但所谓的“偏方”鱼龙混杂，有些“偏方”甚至会反而加重病情，因此如果一味地相信偏方，拖延了治疗，反而会得不偿失。
以上错误的治疗方法只会是对小儿的身体造成一定的伤害，提醒家长小儿的身体伤不得。
Sometimes it's common for children to catch cold and cough when they don't pay attention, but sometimes parents can have serious consequences if they are wrong to judge their children's illness.
Myth 1: use medicine when you have a cough
In fact, coughing is a protective reflex. Is also a symptom of certain diseases, active cough can remove inflammation, secretions and foreign bodies in the respiratory tract, to help clear the respiratory tract of various "dirt" role, is a human defense capabilities. Many parents often see the children cough, immediately go to the pharmacy to buy medicine for cough, treatment as soon as possible, and the market of the Chinese and Western medicine treatment of cough is a variety of Chinese medicine as an example, a superb collection of beautiful things, efficacy is mostly "phlegm, cough and asthma ilk, dialectical medication, children play outdoors activity, often at the time or the evening will cough, this is one of the most common situation, this situation is not bacterial infection, nor virus infection, is affected by the cold, cold cough belongs to. This time do not go to dispel cold evil, but use the supernatant to heat up the phlegm and so on the medicine, is not opposite?
Mistake two cough can carry on resistance
This is another extreme, in recent years, the haze and other air pollution, allergens and other factors make more cough and other respiratory diseases are a lot of people think that It is quite common for the symptoms of cough do not need medication, carry a carry over, so neither doctor nor medicine, finally lead to cough, and even secondary bacterial infection more complex disease, the best way is to consult a doctor promptly checked the disease development.
Myth three: use antibiotics or fluids when you cough
Many people use antibiotics as soon as they cough. In fact, the antibiotic is for bacterial infection and cough caused by a cold virus is most often caused by infection, blindly taking antibiotics not only can cure the disease, but will lead to bacterial resistance, when the true incidence of bacterial infection, it is possible to lose efficacy of drugs. Some parents are not just to see the medicine infusion, results of many of the children playing bottle, cough side increase, some even more medication, more severe cough. Then we should think about whether the treatment is appropriate, not using more advanced antibiotics.
Myth four: confusing expectorant and antitussive
Patients with sputum cough may be temporarily relieved of the cough after they have taken the fast acting cough medicine blindly, but this will cause the sputum to stay in the respiratory tract. If you take a strong antitussive cough, it may cause the sputum can not be discharged in time. While the expectorant medicine containing mucolytic ingredients, can make thick sputum viscosity reduced, thus effectively help facilitate expectoration, cure disease. Some with some cough medicine such as Schisandra chinensis, Fructus Mume, chebule etc.. Early use of astringent drug, the evil converge to live, so don't cough cough cough with strong medicine, should first understand what is the cause of the cough, then according to the views of the doctor's treatment.
Misunderstanding five: Chinese medicine is better than western medicine, open a prescription of Chinese Medicine
The child coughs, parents are very anxious, the doctor is very anxious, the result's prescription, twenty or thirty herbs prescription, each herb is used in adults, hoping to get better! In fact, Chinese medicine should not be abused. In the treatment of traditional Chinese medicine, we should pay special attention to the treatment of different people according to syndrome differentiation. Chinese medicine divides cough into cold cough and hot cough, and medication also has temperature, cold, cold and heat. If the Chinese medicine or etiology and pathogenesis do not understand, medication deviation, the treatment effect will be counterproductive. Even when coughing in the treatment of adult lung, go medicine (such as: ephedra, cassia twig, aster, mulberry leaf, Platycodon root, almond Chuanbei, etc.) is also to be light, because the light resistance to, then the child is more light, some cough medicine prescriptions popular network, but the so-called "recipe" some "recipe" dragons and fishes jumbled together, even aggravate the condition, so if you blindly believe the recipe, delay in treatment, but will The loss outweighs the gain.
The above mistake treatment method only can cause certain harm to the child's body, reminds the guardian, the child's bodily injury not to be possible.
