What to do if your baby coughs badly

If your baby has a cough, it may cause sleep disorders, crying disorders or mental weakness, which will have a great impact on their growth. There are many reasons why babies often cough, and symptomatic treatment is needed, so parents are very worried. Do you want to know why your baby coughs so badly?

1. Help your baby cough <br/>If your baby coughs while awake, you can pick him up, pat his back, and pat him gently. If he coughs when he falls asleep, lie on his side with his upper body raised. Put a cushion or pillow on the child's shoulders and back. Let the baby sleep alternately on the left and right sides, which is conducive to the discharge of respiratory secretions.
2. Drug treatment <br/>If the baby is given cough suppressant treatment, the cough will stop, but suppressing the cough will make it more difficult to expel phlegm, which will block the respiratory tract, aggravate the cough, and easily lead to lung infection. Therefore, expectorant treatment should be performed in the early stage of a child's cough.

3. Replenish water <br/> Let your baby drink enough water to dilute the sticky secretions, so that it is easy to cough out. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, so that the waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism can be quickly discharged from the body, thereby reducing irritation to the respiratory tract.
4. Indoor air circulation <br/>Open the windows regularly to ventilate the house, and keep the room moderately ventilated. The appropriate temperature will help the respiratory mucosa to remain moist and the cilia on the mucosa surface to vibrate, thereby helping the baby's body to expel phlegm.
5. Avoid eating greasy food <br/>Avoid feeding babies raw, cold and greasy food. The diet should be light, with more fresh vegetables and less lean meat or eggs. Avoid eating greasy food with a strong fishy smell, because greasy food will make it more difficult to expel phlegm in the mouth.

6. Supplement pear juice <br/>In fact, pears have a therapeutic effect on coughs. Because pears themselves contain a lot of protein, fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and glucose, fructose, malic acid, carotene and multiple vitamins. In addition, pear peels and pear flowers, pear leaves and pear roots can also be used as medicinal materials, which have the effects of clearing heat, removing phlegm, moistening the lungs and detoxifying.
