It is quite troublesome for young children to have phlegm in their throat because they cannot cough up the phlegm themselves, which is closely related to their incomplete physical development. In addition, young children's bodies are very delicate, so parents need to help them suction phlegm. So, how to suction phlegm for young children?
To suction phlegm for young children, you can choose to go to a hospital and use a professional suction device. This way, suctioning phlegm will be easier and more convenient. Of course, because it is a hospital, it will definitely suck more cleanly, so that young children can recover faster. If there is a lot of phlegm in young children, it will appear repeatedly and it will be more troublesome to go to the hospital for suctioning.
Some parents like to suction phlegm for their children at home, which is okay, but from a hygiene perspective, it is very unhygienic. Parents must pay attention to the strength when using straws, otherwise it can cause pain to young children, and in serious cases, it can easily lead to bacterial infections. In fact, when there is not a lot of phlegm in young children, the method of patting the back can be used to help them expel phlegm.
The method of expectoration is only suitable for young children who are suddenly blocked by phlegm and urgently need to be treated. If a child has a lot of phlegm, it is necessary to go to the hospital for suctioning. Usually, it is necessary to give young children plenty of water, but attention should be paid to the temperature of the water, preferably cold boiled water, which can help make their throats moist and eliminate inflammation.
