Young babies, whether they choke on their esophagus while eating or accidentally breathe cold air, are prone to coughing. Coughing is also a sign of discomfort in the baby's body to the environment, and some babies may also experience other bodily reactions. So, what should babies do if they cough and exhale heavily?
1. The room where the baby is located should maintain a certain temperature and humidity, and the room should be ventilated regularly. The air should not be too dry. When there is a large temperature difference between indoor and outdoor environments, it is important to protect the baby's respiratory system when going out and avoid breathing cold air that may worsen coughing.
2. If a baby has severe coughing accompanied by shortness of breath and shortness of breath, it is possible to develop tracheitis. At this time, it is necessary to prohibit the intake of cold water and increase the frequency of drinking warm and hot water. At the same time, if the baby also experiences other abnormalities in the body, it is necessary to promptly seek medical attention at a regular pediatric clinic.
3. There are multiple reasons that can cause coughing in babies, such as wind cold, internal heat, and dryness. Parents need to observe the baby's tongue coating, water intake, and whether there is phlegm. They can alleviate the symptoms of coughing and shortness of breath by adding foods that moisten the lungs, such as honey and pears, to their diet. If the baby's cough persists and cannot be relieved, they need to seek medical treatment at a pediatric clinic.
