What should I do if my 2-month-old baby has phlegm in his throat?

When a 2-month-old baby has phlegm in his throat, you should pay attention to providing the baby with a good environment, good air quality, and controlled humidity. When the baby has a lot of phlegm, you can let the baby cry, which will help the phlegm come out. You can also give the baby more water to dilute the phlegm, and pat the baby's back to loosen the phlegm. Parents need to find out the cause of the phlegm and give the baby medicine.

Since the bronchial development of most infants is not perfect, the conditioned reflex of coughing is relatively weak, and the phlegm in the body cannot be coughed out in time. Once the phlegm in the body accumulates slowly, it will easily cause airway obstruction, directly affecting the infant's breathing and aggravating the baby's condition. So what should I do if my 2-month-old baby has phlegm in his throat?
Pay attention to the air circulation in the baby's room to ensure fresh air. In cool weather, open the windows frequently for ventilation. The indoor temperature should be controlled at around 20 degrees and the relative humidity should be controlled at 60%.
When the baby wakes up in the morning, a lot of phlegm will accumulate in the baby's throat overnight. The baby sometimes cries when he wakes up. Parents can let the child cry or tease the baby to cry. When the baby cries hard, it will promote the discharge of phlegm in the trachea.
When the baby has some symptoms that cannot be relieved immediately, you first need to take the baby to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause of the symptoms so that you can get a more scientific and reasonable treatment. In daily life, you can give your baby more warm water, which has a good effect of reducing internal heat and promoting metabolism. It is also very effective in preventing some diseases. If the baby has phlegm in the throat, you can also buy a household phlegm suction device at the pharmacy to help the baby expectorate. This method may make the baby uncomfortable, so be careful not to hurt the baby when using it.
When the baby's throat is gurgling at one month old, you can pick the baby up and pat his/her burp to help the baby swallow the liquid in his/her mouth smoothly. If you find saliva flowing out of the baby's mouth, wipe it off in time. At the same time, if the baby has difficulty breathing or cyanosis around the mouth, you should seek medical attention in time. In addition, you should start supplementing vitamin D when the baby is two weeks old, and you can also take the baby out to bask in the sun when the weather is good to promote calcium absorption and synthesis, which is beneficial to the development of laryngeal cartilage and allows the baby to swallow by himself as soon as possible.
