Cough is a common abnormal symptom, which can be caused by many factors, such as respiratory irritation, or when suffering from diseases such as colds and pneumonia. When many babies cough, there is also a lot of phlegm. So, what should a two month old child do if they cough and have phlegm?
If a two month old child coughs and has phlegm, targeted treatment is needed. The child needs to be given cough suppressants to relieve phlegm, which can improve the symptoms. Because children are still very young, it is not easy to expel phlegm, so doctors mostly choose to treat them with nebulized inhalation, which is beneficial for the discharge of phlegm and can also dilute it.
Parents need to take their children to the hospital for examination to determine their condition, and then give them medication according to the doctor's advice. If it is caused by bacterial infection or mycoplasma infection, anti-inflammatory drugs need to be used for treatment. Parents should observe their children's condition at all times and seek medical help immediately if there are any abnormalities.
When a child coughs severely, it may develop into wheezing bronchitis or pneumonia. Parents should take care of their children while taking medication, pay attention to keeping them warm, and avoid catching a cold, otherwise it may worsen the condition. In addition, it is best to increase the indoor humidity, which may keep the child's respiratory tract moist and help alleviate cough symptoms.
