Coughing in babies is quite common in clinical practice because their respiratory tract is fragile. If exposed to cold air, coughing can cause a series of reactions in babies. Coughing can cause many problems, not only can it lead to vomiting milk, but in severe cases, it can also cause pneumonia. So what should babies do if they vomit a lot of milk after coughing?
Firstly, coughing in babies can affect the muscles inside their digestive system, leading to the phenomenon of spitting milk. At this time, it is important to pay attention to the baby's position and not let them lie flat to prevent vomit from being inhaled into the trachea and causing suffocation. During this period, you should give your baby more water or drink snow pear juice. If necessary, you can take oral cough medicine.
Secondly, during the baby's cough, attention should be paid to the indoor air flow, keeping the indoor air fresh, and also paying attention to the baby's warmth. Moreover, upper respiratory tract infections can also cause coughing and vomiting in babies. If there is no fever, medication can be temporarily avoided and babies can be given plenty of water to relieve the symptoms.
And do not breastfeed the baby when the milk is rising. Use a breast pump to suck out a portion first, so as not to let the baby swallow too much milk and cause choking and coughing. After breastfeeding, do not immediately let the baby lie flat. Instead, hold the baby upright and burp them. Generally, after 15 to 30 minutes, the baby can lie flat, which greatly avoids spitting out milk.
