What to do if your child has a cough

Children's cough is a problem that many parents will encounter. Parents feel very uncomfortable when they hear their children coughing. Therefore, the solution to children's cough has become a concern for every parent. Let us understand what measures should be taken for children's cough.

1. If your baby has a mild cough, don't take medicine randomly. You can stew some pear syrup for your baby, which can not only help your baby to reduce phlegm but also relieve cough. Pears can promote the production of body fluids and relieve cough, which can effectively help treat your baby's cough. There are no side effects and the effect is also good.
2. Give your baby more warm boiled water to replenish sufficient water. It has a good moisturizing and physical therapeutic effect on the throat, promotes the improvement of digestion and absorption functions, and eliminates waste and toxins from the body. Sufficient water can make the nasal secretions thinner, easier to clean, and easier to cough out, which is beneficial for relieving cough and expectoration.

3. If the baby has phlegm that cannot be discharged for a long time, parents can try to make the baby cry or laugh from time to time, and shout loudly while crying or laughing, so that the phlegm will be easily discharged.
4. Adequate rest is crucial for colds. Try to let your child sleep more and ensure that he or she gets enough sleep to improve his or her ability to resist disease. Ventilate the room frequently to allow air circulation, reduce outdoor activities appropriately, and don't let your baby get tired.

5. Pay attention to ventilation in the room, keep the air fresh, control the temperature at 20℃-24℃, and the humidity between 50%-60%. Family members should try to avoid smoking at home. A little bit of smoke will make the baby's respiratory tract uncomfortable, and sputum will be more difficult to cough up smoothly, so for the health of the baby, the home should be a smoke-free place.
A mild cough in children will not have much impact on their health. Mothers should not worry too much and do not need to take medicine. They can pay attention to rest, drink plenty of water, and keep warm. It can often heal without treatment. However, if the child's cough does not get better for a long time, you should see a doctor, who will consider giving the baby appropriate medication.
