When the climate alternates between hot and cold, many people will suffer from colds and coughs, and children are no exception. Due to their poor immunity, children are prone to catching colds and coughing, which is one of the common symptoms associated with colds. But what does it taste like when a child coughs?
What should I do if my child's cough is not good
If a child's cough is not good, it is recommended to go to the hospital for treatment to rule out whether there is inflammation, bronchitis, pneumonia or other organ diseases. It needs to be identified by professional doctors, and it is difficult for parents to judge on their own. If a child coughs and feels uncomfortable, parents can help them pat their back, which is beneficial for spitting out phlegm and making the child feel more comfortable. Parents can also make some cough relieving, light and easily digestible foods for their children to eat and supplement their energy needs.
1. Back patting: When a baby coughs violently, it is best to lift them up so that their upper body forms a 45 degree angle. At the same time, gently pat the baby's back with your hands to dilute the secretions adhering to the trachea, which is conducive to coughing up.
2. Maintain air temperature, humidity, and cleanliness: It is best to keep the room temperature around 20-26 ℃, ventilate regularly, and keep the indoor humidity at 50% -70%, which is conducive to diluting phlegm and coughing it up. If the air is too dry, phlegm will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge.
