A 7-month-old baby’s body is relatively delicate and is more likely to catch a cold or get sick. However, when he feels a little uncomfortable, the whole family will feel very worried. You should know that most babies are most likely to catch a cold and cough. At the same time, many people are also very worried. So what should you do if a seven-month-old baby coughs?
1. Reasonable drinking water <br/>No matter what kind of cough it is, you should actively let your baby drink water. Don't wait until you are thirsty to drink water. Babies drink enough water to dilute the sticky secretions, which is very effective in reducing the occurrence of coughs. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, so that waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism can be quickly excreted from the body, thereby reducing irritation to the respiratory tract.
2. Choose a light diet <br/>Try to choose light food for your baby, eat more fresh vegetables, less lean meat or eggs, and avoid greasy food. In addition, everyone must understand that people with wind-heat cough cannot eat oranges, and are prohibited from consuming acidic foods.
3. Keep the indoor air fresh . Open windows regularly to ventilate the home and maintain indoor humidity, which helps keep the respiratory mucosa moist and helps expel phlegm.
4. Improve cold resistance <br/>Starting from early autumn, wash your face with cold water, take a bath, or regularly expose your skin to fresh air. The training methods are different, the key is to persevere, but we must pay attention to a certain degree.
5. Rapid sputum removal <br/>Children's respiratory system is not fully developed yet, and they cannot effectively expectorate. As a result, the respiratory tract will be blocked, which will not only aggravate the cough, but also make it worse, which is easy to cause lung infection. Therefore, expectoration treatment should be carried out in the early stage of children's cough.
6. Keep the air cool <br/>A humidifier can be used in the baby's room. The humidifier has the function of increasing air humidity, purifying the air and disinfecting. The humid air helps reduce inflammation of the throat, lungs and mucous membranes, making it easier for the baby to fall asleep.
7. Steam massage <br/>Steam massage has a cooling feeling and helps with coughs in babies over three months old. In fact, it is very convenient to do it directly at home. However, during the entire operation, we must pay special attention not to damage the baby's skin.
