1. Pay attention to indoor ventilation

The room should be well ventilated and air should be kept flowing. The temperature should be kept at around 25℃ and the humidity should be kept at around 60%. Family members should try to avoid smoking at home. Even a little bit of smoke will make the baby's respiratory tract uncomfortable and make it more difficult to cough up phlegm. Therefore, for the health of the baby, the home should be a smoke-free place.

2. Dress appropriately

The baby should be dressed appropriately. Don't add too many clothes just because the baby is sick. In fact, when the baby is sick, the clothes should be loose, and the elastic pants should not be too tight or worn to the chest, so as not to affect the baby's breathing.

3. Drink enough water

When the baby coughs and has phlegm, parents should give the baby more warm water to help dilute the phlegm and facilitate the coughing up of phlegm. The diet should also be as light as possible. Breastfeeding mothers should also pay attention to their diet, drink more water, and eat less irritating foods, because these will be passed to the baby through breast milk.
