Many reasons can cause babies to cough and retch. For example, if the baby drinks milk too fast and inhales a lot of air, he will have symptoms of retching, coughing, and hiccups; if the baby is infected with a cold, he will also have symptoms such as coughing and retching; if the baby's gastrointestinal digestive function is abnormal, this kind of situation will also occur. So, what should you do if your baby coughs and retches?
1. Drug treatment for baby's cough and retching
1. Children's cough syrup <br/>Baby's dry retching and coughing may be caused by a cold. At this time, you should pay attention to letting the baby rest more and drink more water to relieve the condition. If the baby's symptoms are more serious, you can also take children's cough syrup appropriately to relieve it.
2. Probiotics <br/>If your baby’s retching and coughing are caused by indigestion, you can supplement some probiotics appropriately to regulate the intestinal flora, which will help alleviate the condition.
3. Gastrointestinal An <br/>If the baby eats too much, or catches a cold after a meal, causing indigestion, food accumulation and other problems, there will also be symptoms of dry retching. At this time, you may wish to take some gastrointestinal An to relieve the symptoms.
2. Diet therapy for baby's cough and retching
1. Honey water <br/>If your baby is over one year old and has pharyngitis causing retching and coughing, you can give him some honey water, which can moisten the lungs and relieve cough, alleviating symptoms.
2. Rock sugar and snow pear water <br/>When your baby has pharyngitis and causes dry heaves and coughs, you can drink more rock sugar and snow pear water, which can also moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, alleviating the condition.
3. Nursing methods for babies with cough and retching
1. Hold the baby upright and pat the baby’s back to burp. <br/>Newborns have poor self-control ability. If they drink milk too fast or swallow air, it may cause symptoms of retching, coughing and hiccups. At this time, you should hold the baby upright, let the baby lie on your shoulder, and gently pat the baby’s back with your palm to promote hiccups, which can relieve the symptoms of coughing and retching.
2. Abdominal massage <br/>The baby's digestive system is not yet perfect. If the baby eats too much, or gets a cold in the abdomen after drinking milk, it may cause indigestion. At this time, the baby will also have symptoms of dry retching and coughing. Parents can help the baby massage the abdomen to promote gastrointestinal motility, relieve indigestion symptoms, and improve the problem of dry retching and coughing.
3. Drink more water <br/>The baby's throat mucosa is particularly fragile. If the baby eats acidic food and irritates the throat, it may cause symptoms such as coughing and retching. At this time, you can let the baby drink some warm water to rinse off the food residues. With less irritation, the symptoms of retching and coughing can be relieved.
