What to do if your baby coughs
1. Add more clothes to the baby: The baby's cough is usually caused by the stimulation of cold air. In this case, it is because the baby wears too few clothes, or is accidentally blown by the wind, which stimulates the upper respiratory tract. Therefore, parents can first pay attention to keeping the baby warm and add more clothes to the baby appropriately. Generally, the baby's cough can be effectively relieved.
2. Give your baby some vitamin C supplements: Giving your baby some vitamin C supplements can effectively enhance the baby's resistance and improve the baby's physical fitness. This can promote the body's self-healing ability. It is recommended that parents give their baby some freshly squeezed orange juice.
3. Take cough suppressants as prescribed by the doctor: Some babies have severe cough symptoms, which may be caused by inflammation. At this time, you must give your baby some cough suppressants, but you must follow the doctor's advice and not take the medicine at will. Generally, antibiotics and cough suppressants are used together.
2. What are the reasons for baby's cough?
1. Cold: Cold is the most common cause of a baby's cough. Cold can easily cause sensitivity in the upper respiratory tract, leading to itchy pharyngitis. After giving birth, the baby will not produce sputum when coughing, and the cough is more severe during the day and at night. Cough caused by this reason can generally be relieved after the cold is cured, and the symptoms will not last more than 5 days.
2. Inflammation: Respiratory inflammation, such as pneumonia or bronchitis, can also cause repeated coughing in babies. Coughing caused by this reason will generally cause sputum in babies.
3. Cold air stimulation: If the baby is accidentally stimulated by external cold air and has no sputum, and the body has no fever symptoms. In this case, as long as the baby keeps warm, it can be relieved.
