The coughing ability of infants and young children is relatively poor. If there is phlegm, it can cause respiratory obstruction. If the baby has difficulty breathing at night, it can lead to suffocation in severe cases. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to excessive phlegm in babies. So, what is the feeling of excessive phlegm in babies? Let's take a look at what the article says.
Firstly, excessive phlegm in babies belongs to the category of colds caused by catching a cold, and excessive phlegm caused by wind cold needs to be treated with some phlegm dissolving drugs. However, when parents notice that their baby has excessive phlegm, they should not give them medication casually. Instead, they should observe the baby's condition first. If parents cannot distinguish whether the excessive phlegm is caused by wind and cold or other reasons, it is best to go to the hospital for examination.
Secondly, if the baby's condition is not serious, as long as daily care and dietary therapy are done well, the baby will get better. If the condition is serious, daily care can only alleviate the baby's condition and cannot completely cure it. Professional and formal treatment is needed. When a baby catches a cold and coughs, they may have white phlegm, but bronchitis can also cause coughing and phlegm. However, if the baby does not have a fever, it is best not to take medication.
Finally, parents should encourage their babies to drink plain water while taking care of them, and pay attention to keeping them warm in their daily lives. In addition, when the baby is sick, parents should let them eat some light food to avoid stimulating and greasy foods. At the same time, the temperature and humidity in the baby's bedroom also need to be suitable.
