What to do if your baby has phlegm in his throat

After the baby is born, the body is still in the development stage. So at this time the body is still relatively weak and the resistance is low. If you are not careful, it is easy for the baby to get sick and catch a cold, which can easily cause sore throat and other diseases. So when you find that your baby starts to cough and has phlegm, you must be alert. So what should you do if your baby has phlegm in his throat?

1. Keep the indoor air fresh <br/>Even if the air quality is guaranteed indoors, you still need to open the windows regularly to allow fresh air to be exchanged between indoor and outdoor areas, which can relieve your baby's cough.
2. Let the baby cry <br/>Because the baby is just born, the skills in the body have not been fully developed, and it is not easy to swallow saliva and cough. So if there is phlegm in the throat, you might as well let him cry to expel the phlegm in the throat. Otherwise, the phlegm stuck in the throat for a long time is not good for health.

3. Drink more water <br/>Not only adults should drink more water when they cough, but babies also need to drink more warm water when they cough and have phlegm. The temperature of the warm water should be controlled well. Drinking more water can help the phlegm in the throat be discharged better and dilute the thick phlegm, making it easier to discharge the phlegm in the throat through coughing.
4. Drink pear juice <br/>Drinking some pear juice when you have a cough or a cold is good for your body, and the same is true for babies. So when your baby has phlegm in his throat, you can squeeze some pear juice for him to drink to promote the discharge of phlegm.

5. Use a professional suction device <br/>If the phlegm in the throat cannot be discharged for a long time, you need to go to the hospital for examination and rely on the doctor to use a professional suction tool to suck out the phlegm in the throat.
Therefore, when you find that your baby is sick and there is phlegm stuck in the throat, parents do not need to worry too much. You can try the above methods to expel the phlegm in the throat.
