What to do if your three-month-old baby has a dry cough

If a three-month-old baby has a dry cough, you can choose medication treatment, which is usually divided into prescription drugs and over-the-counter drugs. Prescription drugs are more effective, but have certain toxicity and side effects; over-the-counter drugs are slower in effect, but have relatively fewer side effects, and are more acceptable to babies.

After birth, babies usually have various conditions, especially babies around three months old. At this time, babies have poor body resistance and are easily affected by the environment, causing some adverse reactions. Many three-month-old babies often have dry coughs. Of course, dry coughs are very uncomfortable, not to mention small babies. So what should we do if a three-month-old baby has a dry cough?
1. What to do if your three-month-old baby has a dry cough
1. Prescription drugs <br/>If the baby's condition is serious, it is recommended to go to a regular hospital for examination and treatment, and take some prescription drugs appropriately. Prescription drugs have anti-inflammatory effects, and they work quickly, but prescription drugs may also be toxic, so you must be careful when using them to avoid adverse effects on the baby.
2. Over-the-counter medicines <br/>You can choose over-the-counter medicines for your baby. Over-the-counter medicines can effectively relieve coughs. Although they take a long time to take effect, they have relatively few side effects and are more suitable for babies.
2. Daily care for baby's dry cough
1. Add or remove clothes for the baby in time <br/>Babies usually have weak resistance, so many parents think that babies often feel cold and always dress them in a lot of clothes, whether in summer or winter. But in fact, if the weather is hot, but the baby is dressed in too many clothes, it will make the baby's resistance worse, so you should add or remove clothes for the baby in time, and you should also control the indoor temperature.
2. Keep the indoor air fresh <br/>Many babies have dry coughs, which are caused by indoor air pollution. Therefore, it is recommended to keep the indoor air fresh. When the weather is good, it is best to open the windows for ventilation. Try not to let the baby get close to the kitchen, because the kitchen is very fumesy, and the baby is prone to coughing after inhaling the fumes. If the parents are addicted to smoking, it is recommended not to smoke at home, because secondhand smoke is very harmful to the baby.
3. Maintain proper indoor humidity <br/>If the indoor air is too dry, it is easy to cause dry cough in babies. In addition to dry cough, it may also cause dry skin and rupture of small blood vessels, so the indoor air humidity should be maintained. When the indoor air is relatively dry, you can choose to put a basin of water in the room, or sprinkle water directly on the ground. If there is a humidifier at home, you can also turn on the humidifier directly, but the humidifier needs to be cleaned frequently.
