Cough is a respiratory disease caused by sudden changes in weather, which is due to the inhalation of a large amount of bacteria in the respiratory tract. If cough is not treated in a timely manner, it can easily lead to the root of the disease in babies, and may even develop into asthma or pneumonia. So, how to treat cough in babies?
1. If a baby has a severe cough, it is best to go to the hospital and let a professional judge the baby's condition. Whether it is caused by inflammation, bronchial or other organ diseases, instruments can be used to help the baby relieve it.
2. Parents should use humidifiers at home to increase the humidity of the air, which is beneficial for the elimination of phlegm from the baby's body. The indoor temperature should also be kept as constant as possible, not fluctuating between cold and hot, as this is not beneficial for the recovery of the baby's cough.
3. If the baby has a severe cough, parents should promptly pick up the baby, tilt the baby's body forward, and then pat the baby's back from top to bottom with their hands, which can help the baby expel phlegm.
4. Rock sugar has the effect of moisturizing the lungs, and pears can also alleviate babies' coughs. You can also use rock sugar to stew pears to stop babies' coughs. Stewed pears with Sichuan scallops also have a good effect on babies' cough.
5. You can also use white radish to boil water for your baby to drink. You can encourage your baby to drink more times a day, which can effectively relieve their cough.
6. Choose the appropriate cough suppressant. Don't take medication randomly when your baby coughs. Parents should recognize the cause and treat their baby's cough fundamentally. Babies have a positive constitution and are prone to developing internal heat, and most coughs are accompanied by symptoms of lung heat. Therefore, it is best for parents to choose drugs with strong clearing and clearing effects on lung heat. The most important thing for baby medication is safety.
