Cold and cough can be said to be a common disease, which can easily cause people to catch a cold and cough during seasonal changes or weather changes. When the human body is caught with a cold, it is easy to experience nasal congestion, which seriously affects the quality of one's sleep. How to treat nasal congestion and cough in children with a cold?
The treatment for a child's cold and cough should be determined based on the actual symptoms, and mild cold and cough can be relieved by dietary therapy. If a child's dietary status is the same as that of an adult, they can boil some water with scallions to drink, which can have the effect of dispelling cold and relieving symptoms such as fever and runny nose caused by a cold. You can drink some honey water in daily life to relieve cough.
If a child's condition is severe and accompanied by wheezing when coughing, it is necessary to seek medical treatment in a timely manner. Under the guidance of a doctor, the child can be given some medication. During medication treatment, parents should give their children more warm water to enhance respiratory tract moisture, which can alleviate cough symptoms and help promote the recovery of colds.
During a child's illness, if the nasal congestion is severe, parents can use water vapor to help relieve it. Children can also be encouraged to change their sleeping position appropriately. Side sleeping can alleviate unilateral nasal congestion, and frequent changes in position can greatly alleviate the discomfort of nasal congestion. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to monitoring their children's body temperature to avoid high fever not being detected in a timely manner.
