The weather is getting colder and colder, and some common respiratory diseases are entering their high season. Every season there are more and more babies with colds and coughs in the hospital, but most of them get better soon with a little rest for two days, drink more water and take some medicine. But for some reason, some babies cough for more than 10 days and don’t get better! Mothers should not panic! In addition to injections and medication, it’s hard for your baby to heal from a cold and cough if you don’t do the daily care right! Provide a comfortable environment for your baby 1. Keep the indoor air fresh and circulating. Even in the cold supply, you should insist on opening the window for more than 20 minutes every day. Use air conditioning in summer, you should also open the windows regularly for ventilation. 2, do not give the baby wear too much, and adults wear about the same on the line. If the baby is more active, then we should wear less than adults, because the baby is always moving, wear more easily sweat, encounter cold wind is more likely to catch a cold and cough. 3. Keep your baby’s breathing open. When your baby is lying in bed, try to raise the upper part of his body.

Relative humidity is kept at 60-65%, and the method of wet cloth mopping the floor can be used to increase the humidity of the room, which is good for the respiratory mucosa to maintain a moist state and the oscillation of the cilia on the surface of the mucosa, which helps the discharge of phlegm. 2, reasonable patting back can be used in emergency when the baby can not cough out phlegm, to help the discharge of phlegm. In between the baby’s coughing, let the baby lie on its side or pick it up and lie on its side. The mother’s five fingers of one hand are slightly flexed and held into an empty fist, gently patting the affected child’s back. Pat the left side to lie on the left side, alternating between the two sides. The strength of the patting should not be too great, but from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, in turn. Pat each side for at least 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. Back patting method can not only promote the baby’s lungs and bronchial sputum loosening, drainage and discharge to the large airways, but also can promote blood circulation in the heart and lungs, conducive to the absorption of bronchial inflammation, so that the disease can be healed early. 3.

Drinking more cold water dilutes the thick secretions and makes them easier to cough up, which helps to stop coughing and expectoration. At the same time, cool boiled water can also improve blood circulation, so that the body metabolism of your waste or toxins quickly from the urine, thereby reducing its stimulation of the respiratory tract. 4, using steam Pour boiling water into a large mouth jar or teacup, pick up the baby, so that its mouth and nose to the rising water vapor and suck put, can make the sputum become thin to facilitate coughing, but also reduce the congestion and edema of the trachea and bronchial mucosa, reduce cough.

Eating sweet food will also help heat, so that the inflammation is not easy to heal. 5, eating oranges Orange peel does have the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but orange flesh, on the contrary, produces heat and phlegm. And the average child can not eat orange meat only eat orange peel. 6.Eating too salty Eating too salty tends to induce coughing or make it worse. 7.
