Due to the reluctance of many parents to treat their babies with medication, they often choose pediatric massage to alleviate and treat mild illnesses. However, if a baby has a cold that makes it difficult to expel phlegm from their throat, can pediatric massage effectively remove the phlegm?
First child massage can help babies expel phlegm from their throat, but it should be noted that it requires a professional massage therapist to perform. Massage can only help babies expel phlegm. If specific symptoms of a baby need to be treated, it is necessary to determine the cause and prescribe targeted medication to better ensure their health.
If it is only necessary to help the baby expel phlegm, parents can also have the baby bow their back and lie on their lap, then use a hollow palm to pat the baby's back from inside out and from bottom to top. Pay attention to the gentle technique at this time, pat 2-3 times a day for 3-5 minutes each time. This method can also help the baby expel phlegm from the trachea and throat.
Of course, if none of the above methods can improve the condition of phlegm accumulation in the baby's throat, parents and friends still need to take the child to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine the specific cause, and then use medication according to the doctor's advice. Do not take it lightly because the condition is minor, which will delay the treatment time and affect the baby's physical health.
