What to do if your three-month-old baby coughs

Infants and young children are inherently fragile, especially when it comes to immunity. If there is a change of seasons or a large temperature change, they are prone to various diseases, and coughing is a very common phenomenon. Severe coughing can be accompanied by vomiting and other physical discomforts, which can affect the baby's health. What should I do if my three-month-old baby coughs?

1. Let your baby drink more water <br/>If you find your baby coughing, you must replenish water for your baby in time. You can give your baby some warm water every once in a while. Sufficient water can effectively dilute the secretions, which makes it easier for the baby to cough. It can also prevent the baby's cough from getting worse due to lack of water. At the same time, drinking more warm water can also improve the baby's blood circulation, so that the toxins in the body can be discharged faster and relieve cough symptoms.
2. Keep the indoor air fresh <br/>When the baby coughs, you must open the window for ventilation and try to keep the indoor air fresh. In particular, do not let the baby stay in the air-conditioned room for a long time. This will allow the baby's respiratory mucosa to have a certain degree of moisture, thereby improving the coughing symptoms.

3. Add or remove clothes in time <br/>When babies feel cold, their coughs usually become more severe. Therefore, it is best to add or remove clothes in time when you find that your baby is coughing. You can feel whether your baby is cold by touching his hands and feet. If you find that his hands and feet are cold, you need to add clothes to your baby in time. If you find that there is a small amount of sweat on the neck or back of your baby, you need to take off the baby's coat immediately. This can prevent the baby from catching a cold due to cold, which will make the cough symptoms worse.

If your baby coughs for a long time or frequently, it is best to find out the specific cause of the cough. If it is caused by some disease, it is necessary to use appropriate medicines for timely treatment. Otherwise, long-term delay will aggravate the disease and be detrimental to the baby's health.
