What are the methods of family care for children's cough? How to treat children's cough?

Coughing is not a single disease. Doctors say that children's coughs need to be taken seriously and treated in a timely manner, because children's own resistance is relatively weak. If the cough is severe, it will cause respiratory and lung diseases. Therefore, parents must do a good job in treating children's coughs, master the methods of home care for children's coughs, and keep children away from more diseases.

Home care for children's cough:

1. When the upper respiratory tract is infected, the nasal mucosa of children is already inflamed. If they inhale dry air, it will make the nasal cavity more uncomfortable and aggravate the cough. Therefore, to keep the air moist in the room, you can use a humidifier, hang a wet towel, mop the floor with water, or put a basin of water in the room to increase the air humidity.

2. If the child's cough is caused by odorous air, no one should smoke in the room, and there should be no other odorous gases, such as kitchen fumes, which will aggravate the cough. When cleaning the room, do not let the dust fly, and wipe the furniture gently with a wet cloth to avoid triggering coughing.

3. To prevent children from coughing while sleeping at night, let them lie on their side. It is best to raise their head or upper body slightly with a towel or pillow to prevent respiratory secretions from flowing back into the trachea and causing coughing, which will affect their sleep. This can also make children feel more comfortable and relieve breathing difficulties.

4. When a child coughs so badly that he or she can't breathe, pick him or her up and pat his or her back gently, or let the child raise his or her upper body and sit up. This will make the child feel more comfortable and relieve the coughing symptoms.

5. When children have a severe cough, they should not play too hard, otherwise the cough will be aggravated. Also, pay attention to keeping the child warm, especially the soles of the feet and the top of the head, so as not to reflexively reduce the respiratory resistance. But do not let the child's body overheat, as clothes soaked with sweat are more likely to cause coughing.

When children cough, it is necessary to protect the child's respiratory tract, keep the child warm, avoid colds, and keep the indoor air circulating and moist. This can effectively help the cough recover better. Mothers should take extra care of their children.
