Coughing Healthy for Kids
KidsHealth.org is reporting that "coughing is a healthy and important reflex that helps clear the airways in the throat and chest."They also offer a description of the different types of coughs and what they mean. The listed types include: "Barky" Cough; "Whooping" Cough, Cough With Wheezing, Nighttime Cough, Daytime Cough, Cough With a Fever, Cough With Vomiting, and Persistent Cough.
Not all coughs warrant a visit to the doctor, and knowing what they mean can go a long way in easing the minds of concerned parents.
