Resumo

A tosse é provavelmente o sintoma mais frequente na criança e, consequentemente, um dos principais motivos de consulta em pediatria. Os mecanismos e as causas da tosse na criança diferem das do adulto e, por esse motivo, é necessária uma diferente abordagem diagnóstica e terapêutica. Este artigo de revisão abrange a fisiopatologia da tosse na criança, as causas mais frequentes, a avaliação diagnóstica inicial e a orientação terapêutica.

Abstract

Cough is perhaps the most frequently seen symptom in children and as such one of the most common reasons for physician appointments. The mechanics and causes of cough in children are different to those in adults and imply a different diagnostic and therapeutic management. This article reviews the physiopathology of cough in children, the most frequent causes, the initial evaluation and the treatment slant.
