Mini review for The regulation of cough: Cough in children

摘要：

Like the physiology of most organs in humans, the physiology of the regulation of cough in children has similarities but also important differences to that in adults. These differences can be described in simplistic terms to that relating to the cough pathway and those that influence the clinical manifestation of cough. There is much evidence that age influences the development of the respiratory system in general, and of the immune system which would affect the degree, frequency and clinical issues of cough. Other factors that limit our understanding of the changes in cough with age include the reporting of cough by parents in infants and children. Age-related variation in cough sensitivity seems to be well established, but its quantification and mechanisms require much further research.
