Abstract

Öksürük önemli bir refleks savunma mekanizmasıdır ve çeşitli uyarılar ile havayollarının temizlenmesini sağlar. Çocuklar erişkinlere göre çevresel uyaranlara karşı daha hassastırlar. Öksürüğün tüm mekanizması henüz tam olarak belirlenememiştir. Kronik öksürüğün nedenleri çocuklarda erişkinlere göre farklılık göstermektedir. Çoğu çocukta öksürük normal bir olay olmasına rağmen; çeşitli ciddi hastalıkların belirtisi olabilir ve çocuğun hayat kalitesini etkilemesi nedeniyle önemsenmelidir. Tüm kronik öksürüğü olan çocuklar ayırıcı tanı için değerlendirilmelidir. Çocuklarda öksürüğün tedavisi etiyolojiye dayanılarak yapılmalıdır. Çocuklarda öksürükte semptomatik tedavinin etkisi olduğuna ait kanıt yoktur

Cough in Children: Clinical Approach

Abstract

Cough is an important reflex defense mechanism and it cleans the airways with the various stimuli. Children are more sensitive than adults to these environmental stimuli. Full mechanism of the cough reflex have not been completely analyzed. Causes of chronic cough in children are different from adults. Even cough is normal for most children, the presence of cough may be indicative of serious disorders and should be considered important because cough affects the child’s quality of life. All children with chronic cough should be evaluated for diagnosis. Cough in children should be treated based on etiology. There is no evidence of the affect of symptomatic treatment for cough in children
