The weather can be cold and hot, and some babies cough with phlegm. Parents have heard that drinking milk powder can worsen coughing. I want to make my baby feel better earlier, but most of these babies rely on drinking milk powder. If they don't drink milk powder, it will inevitably affect their growth. So, can babies eat milk powder if they have phlegm?
Babies with cough and phlegm can drink milk powder, but parents must pay attention to feeding them more water because milk powder is prone to getting overheated and can worsen the condition. And babies with phlegm need to be treated with medication in a timely manner to avoid the serious onset of tracheitis caused by the disease. If the baby can control their first cough, it can prevent coughing from recurring.
Some parents may think that their baby's cough is just a minor problem and that there is no need to seek medical treatment or take medication. It will improve after a few days. This understanding is incorrect because prolonged coughing in babies can cause significant harm to the body and may also trigger asthma, especially for babies with allergies who have a higher risk of developing the disease.
If a baby coughs and has phlegm, in addition to drinking milk normally, if complementary foods have been added, parents should match their diet reasonably and avoid eating cold foods, especially cold drinks. Even if babies don't cough, they should try to eat as little as possible. Their digestive system is very delicate and cannot digest this type of food.
Parents of babies with phlegm must pay attention and not think that oranges have the effect of stopping cough and resolving phlegm, which will make their babies eat more oranges. This approach is incorrect because only orange peel can have the effect of relieving cough and phlegm, but orange flesh can actually generate heat and phlegm.
