What to do if your baby has a cough with phlegm

  There are many different types of coughs, and the response to a baby’s cough is different from that of an adult. What should I do if my baby has a cough with phlegm?  1. Drink more warm water When babies have a cough with phlegm, you can give them more warm water to moisten their throats and dilute the phlegm, as well as to “drink water” to promote their metabolism, which can help stop coughing and resolve phlegm. But be careful, not to drink too hot water.  2, patting the baby’s back Parents who find their babies coughing with phlegm can hold the baby upright and let the baby lie on your shoulder. Gently and slowly pat the baby’s back from top to bottom with your empty palm to encourage the baby to expel phlegm.  3.Dietary regulation For infants with cough and phlegm, pay attention to regulating the diet, reducing the amount of milk and food, reducing sweets and meat, and also boiling white radish water and feeding it, which has a phlegm-reducing effect.  4. Keep indoor air circulation Infants with fragile respiratory tracts may also suffer from respiratory diseases if they stay indoors. This is related to the lack of air circulation in the indoor environment, so parents should open the windows regularly every day to keep the indoor air circulation, so that babies can breathe fresh air, which is conducive to the discharge of phlegm.  When an infant coughs and has more phlegm, he or she should immediately seek medical attention and take the correct medication and care under the guidance of a doctor.
