After becoming a mother, I realize that it's not easy to be a mother, especially when my baby gets sick. It's really me who hates not getting sick. But babies won't stop getting sick just because of their mother's heartache. With changes in weather, many babies will catch colds to varying degrees, leading to coughing. Some mothers believe that their babies have a certain level of resistance and cough can heal on their own. So, will babies' coughs heal on their own?
Can a baby's cough heal on its own
Under normal circumstances, it is not recommended for parents to take their children to the hospital for general cough, as cough that is not caused by the following conditions can generally heal on its own. But if the following situations occur, it is best to take it to the hospital for examination.
1. The baby experiences coughing, phlegm production, and other symptoms that persist for more than 3 days;
2. When a baby coughs, they may experience chest discomfort, pain, and even symptoms such as difficulty breathing and coughing up blood;
Dietary care for baby cough
1. Diet should be light, and cold foods should be avoided. At this time, nutritious and easily digestible foods are preferred. If you have a bad appetite, prepare more light Congee, noodle soup and other easily digestible food. Try not to consume some raw and cold foods such as seafood, oranges, and other cold foods. Cannot eat food that is too salty; Peanuts, melon seeds, and other foods can easily choke babies, so it is best not to consume them; Chocolate is too sweet and not suitable for babies to eat.
2. Drinking plenty of plain water is quite effective in helping babies reduce cough frequency and dilute sputum concentration. It is recommended to give babies plenty of water.
3. Eating more fresh vegetables and fruits, which contain vitamins and inorganic salts, can help babies recover faster. Moreover, carotene A is quite beneficial for the recovery of respiratory mucosa.
From the introduction, whether coughing can heal or not depends on the degree and duration of coughing, as well as other symptoms of the body to determine. If a baby coughs at home, it is even more important to pay attention to dietary care and cleanliness of the home environment to avoid further harm to the baby's throat caused by dust and dirt. Even if the baby does not have symptoms such as coughing, it is best to master the above knowledge in advance so that they can respond promptly if there are any problems.
