After treatment, the child's cold no longer has a fever, no runny nose, and no headache. However, the cough still sounds incessantly, and the phlegm is difficult to discharge. The effect is not significant even after continuous medication. A common characteristic of a cold is respiratory infection, often manifested as lung heat. Although the symptoms are mild, the duration is long, and symptoms such as cough and phlegm cannot be relieved for a long time. The use of antibiotics for treatment is also ineffective. At this point, be careful that it may be a variant cough, a type of asthma.
After a baby catches a cold, dry cough is usually the main symptom, which is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infections, lung infections, and laryngeal mucosal inflammation leading to congestion and stimulation of the peripheral nerve receptors, resulting in coughing. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the following aspects when taking care of themselves.
1. Drink water in small amounts multiple times, and the water temperature should not be too hot to avoid stimulating the throat;
2. When a baby coughs violently, it is best to lift them up so that their upper body is at a 45 degree angle. At the same time, gently pat the baby's back with your hand to release the secretions adhering to the trachea, which is conducive to coughing up;
3. Maintaining air temperature and cleanliness are crucial. It is best to maintain a room temperature of around 20-26 ℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity of 50% -70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it up. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge;
