What should I do if my baby keeps coughing? How should I treat my baby's cough?

Every time the seasons change, many babies will have frequent coughs, which may be related to a dry throat or some respiratory diseases. If it is not effectively treated for a long time, it may induce more serious diseases. It is best to pay attention to it. So what should I do if my baby keeps coughing?

1. Drink more warm water

Drinking more warm water during a cough can help relieve the cough. This is mainly because warm water can dilute the phlegm after entering the body, making it easier to expel phlegm. At the same time, drinking more water can significantly increase the patient's urine volume, which can help the body excrete various harmful substances as quickly as possible.

2. Eat more light food

When babies have a cough, they can eat some food that helps moisten the lungs and relieve coughs, such as pears. When the cough is more serious, you can remove the core of the pear, put an appropriate amount of Sichuan Fritillaria and rock sugar in it, and steam it for the baby to eat. It can help to eliminate phlegm and moisten the lungs. In terms of diet, it should be as light as possible, preferably with fresh vegetables as the main food, and you can eat more soy products and apples. Try not to let your baby eat too much sweets or too salty food during the cough, otherwise it will aggravate the cough.

3. Children over one year old can eat honey to relieve cough

For babies over one year old who have a cough, they can drink some honey water. Honey has a good lung moistening effect, which can reduce the frequency and severity of the patient's cough. You can also put an appropriate amount of honey in a pot and fry it into caramel color, then use it to mix with water for the baby to drink.

In addition, for coughs caused by bronchitis, especially after the beginning of autumn, when babies are constipated, you can add a proper amount of honey and lily, put them in a pot and steam them, and then give them to the baby.
