The biggest concern for mothers is when their babies get sick and uncomfortable, especially when they cough and have phlegm. This is mainly because babies are young and do not know how to cough up phlegm from their throats, causing it to accumulate in the throat for a long time and prolonging the recovery time of the disease, which is not conducive to their health. Therefore, some mothers have asked, what should babies do if they cough and have phlegm in their throats?
The symptoms of coughing and phlegm making a whistling sound in the throat of a baby are mainly caused by the inability to expel phlegm after the baby's respiratory tract infection. Therefore, when a baby coughs and has phlegm, they should first go to the hospital for examination to see which bacteria or pathogens are causing the cough and phlegm symptoms in the respiratory tract. This way, the doctor can provide effective antibacterial and anti infective drugs in a timely manner, and at the same time, assist in the use of some expectorant drugs.
During treatment, mothers can encourage their babies to drink more warm water. Warm water has a good effect on relieving cough and phlegm. This is because drinking more warm water can promote blood circulation and metabolic rate in the baby's body. Harmful metabolites in the body can be quickly eliminated through sweating or urination. Drinking water can keep the throat moist, avoiding throat dryness that can stimulate coughing. Drinking water can also dilute phlegm in the throat, which is beneficial for the baby's excretion.
In addition, the mother can also give the baby some food that is conducive to sputum excretion. For example, rock candy snow pear water has a very good role in moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, which can play a very good auxiliary therapeutic effect. Prepare a snow pear and an appropriate amount of rock sugar, clean snow pear, peel, remove the core and cut into pieces, put it into the pot, add an appropriate amount of water, and put rock sugar after the water boils down. The rock sugar will completely melt and then boil for 15 minutes. After warming, give it to the baby to drink.
