Babies have poor immunity and are not adapted to the external environment, which can lead to symptoms such as nasal congestion and coughing. When these symptoms are detected, timely measures should be taken to improve them to prevent the baby's condition from worsening. So what should children do if they have severe nasal congestion and cough?
Babies with cough and nasal congestion are mostly caused by a cold. Parents need to take their babies to the hospital to see if it is a viral cough or a bacterial cough, so that targeted treatment can be given. Parents also need to help their babies clean the secretions in the nasal cavity, pay attention to clear movements, and maintain the hygiene and cleanliness of the nasal cavity.
During the period of coughing and nasal congestion in babies, parents must pay attention to indoor hygiene and cleanliness, keep the air fresh, which is also helpful for the baby's physical recovery. Parents can give their babies more fruits to eat, such as pears, which would be great. Pears have a cough stopping effect. If nasal congestion is severe, you can also use a hot towel to apply heat and improve the condition.
Sleep can also be affected by a baby's coughing and nasal congestion, making them restless and prone to crying. Parents should have enough patience to take care of their babies. If the baby's condition is quite serious, you can also go to the hospital for a check-up, and let the doctor give the baby medication treatment according to the cause and severity of the condition, so that the baby can recover faster.
