Why does my child have a dry, irritating cough?

Your child's dry, irritating cough could be a sign of a number of things, from a common cold to allergies to asthma. But there's one thing you can be sure of: it's not fun.

That's why it's important to figure out what's causing your child's cough so you can get them the relief they need. A few of the most common culprits include:

Allergies: Allergies can cause inflammation in the airways, which can lead to a dry, irritating cough.

Asthma: If your child has a dry cough that's accompanied by wheezing or difficulty breathing, it's important to see a doctor to rule out asthma.

Postnasal drip: Postnasal drip is a condition in which mucus from the nose and sinuses drips down the back of the throat, irritating the throat and causing a dry cough.

Viral infections: Many common viral infections, such as the common cold and the flu, can cause a dry cough.
