What should I do if my two-month-old baby has a cough? Will drinking more water help if my two-month-old baby has a cough?

We all know that babies' physical indicators are not fully developed yet, so we should pay special attention to them when they are sick. Many babies around two months old often cough. Since the baby's respiratory tract is not fully developed, we should pay special attention to it. If the symptoms are mild, we can adjust the diet, drink more water, keep the room ventilated, and wipe out the sputum. If the symptoms are severe, we must go to the hospital and let the pediatrician treat it.

When a baby is sick, the mother is most worried. Many new mothers, because they have not done this often, are often in a panic when their children are sick and don't know what to do. Sometimes when they see their baby suffering, they wish they could suffer for the baby and hope that the baby can grow up healthily. However, daily illnesses are unavoidable. Today we will talk about what to do if a two-month-old baby coughs?

1. Diet adjustment. Babies of two months old can only eat liquid food. If the baby coughs and has phlegm, you can boil water with rock sugar, snow pear and Sichuan Fritillaria, make it slightly thicker, and then feed it to the baby after it cools down. Feed it 2 to 3 times a day, which helps to relieve cough and reduce phlegm. At the same time, it can moisturize the lungs and relieve the condition to a certain extent.

2. Drink more water. Water can promote the baby's metabolism and allow the virus to be excreted through urine. In addition, water can also dilute the baby's phlegm. Especially before going to bed at night, you can feed a little warm water. Let the baby lie on the right side when sleeping at night, which can help the discharge of phlegm.

3. Keep the room well ventilated. Ventilate regularly to avoid smoke and dust from irritating the baby's throat. Therefore, improve the indoor environment and ventilate more. If the air is dry, use a humidifier or put a basin of warm water in the room. In addition, if there are pets at home, it is best to temporarily isolate them.

4. Help your baby to cough. Generally, when a baby coughs, there will be some phlegm in the throat. Since the baby's respiratory tract is not fully developed, it is difficult for the baby to cough it out by himself. Therefore, it is best to help the baby to cough up the phlegm. It is best to cough up the phlegm before the baby feeds, otherwise, if you cough up the phlegm after the baby feeds, it may cause the baby to spit up the milk.
