What to do if a one and a half year old baby coughs? What are the causes of a one and a half year old baby's cough?

As babies grow up, they are easily infected by external factors and diseases, especially when the seasons change. Coughing, colds and fever are the most common. The cause of coughing is considered to be a cold, which irritates the lungs and causes coughing. When the baby coughs, it must be taken seriously. If not treated in time, it can easily cause infection and fever, leading to pneumonia and bronchitis. This requires timely taking of anti-inflammatory drugs for treatment, and some food can also be used as an auxiliary treatment.

During the change of seasons, especially in spring and autumn, the weather is always hot and cold. If you don’t add clothes in time, your baby will easily catch a cold. Babies with low resistance will be infected with a cold, and symptoms such as fever and cough will appear. If not treated in time, pneumonia or other complications will occur. So what should you do if your one-year-old baby coughs?

1. What to do if your one-year-old baby coughs

1. Improve your diet

First, if the baby's cough is not serious, you should feed the baby more boiled water, or boil some rock sugar and snow pear water to drink, which can moisten the lungs and suppress coughing. If it is just a slight cough and the mental state is good, then you can continue to observe. But you must adjust the baby's diet. A one-and-a-half-year-old baby is in a relatively naughty state, so you must stay away from all kinds of foods that are easy to get angry, and the diet should be light.

2. Massage

Cough can also be treated by massaging the baby's back, which requires certain skills and the baby's cooperation. You should choose a regular pediatric massage place for treatment. For babies, it is best not to take medicine easily, because medicine is three-point poison. Although it gets better quickly, it is also very irritating to the stomach and intestines.

3. Drug treatment

If the baby is in a bad mental state or has a fever, you must see a doctor in time and take medication under the doctor's guidance. Many children's coughs are caused by upper respiratory tract infections, which requires doctors to find treatment methods based on the cause.

2. What causes your baby's cough?

There are many reasons for coughing, not just a cold. You also need to observe whether you have eaten too much high-fat, high-salt food. The diet during a cough should be light and easy to digest.

Children have weak body resistance and are very easy to get sick, so you must pay attention to adding or removing clothes in time when the seasons change. They should not be too cold or too hot. When you are not sure whether your child is cold or hot, you can touch the child's back, hands, and feet. If there is sweat on the back, you should reduce the clothes. If the hands and feet are cold, you should add clothes in time.
