A one year old baby has a relatively weak body and is prone to developing symptoms such as colds. Once a baby catches a cold, they are prone to phlegm in their throat and snore loudly every day when breathing, which makes the mother very anxious. How to talk about a one year old baby with excessive phlegm?
1. Take sputum promptly. If there is phlegm in the baby's throat and they snore loudly, it is best for parents to pat the baby's phlegm in a timely manner. When patting phlegm, the baby can lie prone on the parent's lap, and then use a hollow fist to gently pat the baby's back, which can loosen the phlegm and make it easier to excrete.
2. Drinking water method. Encourage your baby to drink plenty of water and keep it at around 23 degrees Celsius. This can moisturize and nourish the throat, dilute phlegm, and facilitate the absorption and elimination of local inflammation. Babies with phlegm often have thick tea leaves that cannot be excreted due to lack of water. Drinking more water for babies can dilute the phlegm and help it be excreted as soon as possible.
3. Steam method. Pour boiling water into an open cup, then place the baby's mouth and nose on top of the cup, inhale the steam, and hold on for a while. The inhaled steam can dilute the phlegm in the throat, making it easier to excrete the phlegm.
4. Drug Law. Do not give medication to your baby casually, because if medication is used to relieve cough, although the cough disappears, he cannot excrete it. If there is phlegm in the trachea, appropriate medication should be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
