Children's immunity is relatively fragile, so it is easy to have respiratory problems that can cause coughing. Many parents do not choose medication directly, but want to choose milder ways to help their children recover their health. However, few people know how to do it specifically. So, how to take care of children's coughing?
If a child coughs and it is not particularly severe, observation can be done first. The child should be given plenty of water and the humidity in the room should be kept within a comfortable range. If the child cannot cough up phlegm, tapping the back can be used to help the child cough up phlegm. Also, attention should be paid to the child's diet and avoid eating spicy and stimulating foods to avoid worsening the cough.
But if a child's cough symptoms have not been relieved for a long time or the cough is severe, it is best to go to the hospital for examination to determine the cause, whether it is inflammation caused by a cold or a problem with the trachea and bronchi caused by bacterial or viral infection. Only then can targeted medication be given to help the child recover their health as soon as possible and avoid worsening inflammation causing more serious illnesses.
Seasonal changes or viral infections can easily affect children's health, so it is best for parents not to take their children to crowded places with poor air circulation. It is better to engage in outdoor activities more often, as exercise can enhance physical fitness and increase immunity. In addition, it is also important to cultivate children's personal hygiene and dietary habits, and not be picky about food to achieve balanced nutrition.
