How to treat a 3-month-old baby's cough How to treat a 3-month-old baby's cough

Because the respiratory tract of a 3-month-old baby is very delicate, once a respiratory infection occurs, it is easy to cause coughing, but the baby's coughing ability is relatively poor, so the coughing time is relatively long. The baby cannot cough up phlegm, so when there is a lot of phlegm, the throat is always wheezing, which sounds particularly uncomfortable. So, what should I do if a 3-month-old baby coughs?

1. What to do if your 3-month-old baby coughs
1. Massage to stop cough <br/>Massage can also be effective for different types of coughs. If a 3-month-old baby coughs with thin white sputum, has a fever, is afraid of cold, and has no sweat, this is a wind-cold cough. You can push Sanguan 300 times, press Fengchi and Hegu points 100 times each, and push the temples 300 times. This massage method can effectively stop coughing.
If the baby coughs, has yellow phlegm, fever, and sweats, this is a wind-heat cough, which can be effectively relieved by clearing the lung meridian, pushing the six internal organs, rubbing the Dazhui point, Jianjing point, etc. If the baby only has a dry cough with little or no phlegm, it can be relieved by pressing and rubbing the Neilaogong point, pushing the Yongquan point, and rubbing the Shenshu point.

2. Traditional Chinese Medicine Treatment
Wind-heat cough <br/>You can boil water with pears, almonds, and rock sugar. Since the 3-month-old baby cannot eat yet, you can just let him drink some soup at this time. You can also boil water with purple perilla, tangerine peel, and white radish peel, add brown sugar and stir evenly. The 3-month-old baby can also drink some of this soup to relieve the symptoms of wind-heat cough.
Phlegm-heat cough <br/>You can boil water with Houttuynia cordata, almonds, and Platycodon grandiflorum, and let the baby drink some soup to relieve the cough. If the baby has a dry cough, you can boil Fritillaria cirrhosa, pear and rock sugar, and let the baby drink water.

3. Raise the baby's head <br/>If the baby keeps coughing after falling asleep, you can raise the baby's head slightly, which can also effectively relieve the coughing symptoms.
2. Precautions for baby's cough <br/>Because infants and young children have poor cough reflex and cannot expectorate or spit, do not let your baby take cough medicine easily, otherwise it may cause tracheal obstruction and make the cough symptoms more serious.
