Due to the relatively weak immune system of babies, their chances of getting sick are higher, and respiratory diseases are one of the high-risk diseases. Tracheal diseases can cause a lot of thick phlegm in the throat, and the baby cannot cough it out on their own. This situation not only makes the baby uncomfortable, but also makes parents very anxious. So, how can babies resolve phlegm in their throat?
Phlegm is the secretion produced during the occurrence of tracheitis, which contains a large amount of pathogenic bacteria. If not eliminated, it not only makes it difficult to recover from the disease, but also easily blocks the respiratory tract, causing poor breathing. In more serious cases, it can also cause difficulty breathing and endanger life. But the baby's respiratory system is not fully developed, and if phlegm is not coughed up, it can easily block the throat, which is very dangerous for the baby.
When a baby cannot cough up phlegm, they can be placed on their side. The parents bent one hand slightly, forming an empty fist, and gently patted the baby's back. Gently tap side by side from left to right. The tapping force should not be too strong, and should be carried out in sequence from top to bottom and from outside to inside. Shoot at least 3-5 minutes on each side, 2-3 times a day. This method can promote the relaxation of phlegm in the baby's lungs and bronchi, which can be drained into the trachea and discharged. It can also promote blood circulation in the heart and lungs, which is beneficial for the recovery of bronchitis.
Babies who cough and have phlegm should drink more water, which is beneficial for eliminating local inflammation and treatment. Cold water around 23 degrees Celsius is suitable for babies to drink, which has a good moisturizing and physical therapeutic effect on the throat. In addition, pour boiling water into a large pot or glass, hold the baby tightly, and make their nose face the steam. This can help reduce phlegm, alleviate congestion and edema of the tracheal and bronchial mucosa, and reduce coughing. However, be careful not to burn the baby with steam.
