What symptom does dry heat cough have

summary

My colleague's child is 8 years old. He just went to the first grade of primary school. A few days ago, he caught a cold and coughed all the time. He didn't have any phlegm, but he just coughed. He wanted to take some medicine at home, but he had a fever. His temperature was 38 degrees. His colleague was in a hurry. Because he was busy, he went to the township health center to hang up the needle for 3 days. But he still didn't get well, so he had to go to a big hospital. The doctor saw him and said that it was chlamydia pneumonia, and he said if it was early It might be better to treat it. Let's take a look at the following.

What symptom does dry heat cough have

First: Chlamydia is a kind of bacteria, after invading the human body, it may cause genital tract inflammation, chlamydia pneumonia, etc. Generally speaking, chlamydia pneumonia is more common in children aged 8-10. When children cough, have cold symptoms, and hanging needles has little effect, parents can consider whether they have chlamydia pneumonia.

Second: the symptoms of Chlamydia pneumonia are very similar to those of the common cold. They all have symptoms of cough, runny nose and fever. But different from the common cold, after Chlamydia infection, expectoration is generally less, mainly dry cough. In addition to the general symptoms of upper respiratory tract infection, it can also cause muscle soreness.

Third: Although the cough of Chlamydia pneumonia is a little different from the common cold, viral pneumonia and other interstitial pneumonia are mainly dry cough. Therefore, it is far from enough to make a diagnosis of Chlamydia infection by cough. Chlamydia cultivation and film shooting are needed.
