The baby's body is weak and many functions are not fully developed. Even small problems can have a significant impact on the baby's health and even life safety. Parents should observe their babies' bodies at all times when taking care of them, and promptly detect and deal with any abnormalities. So, what should I do if my baby coughs and has some wheezing?
Identify the root cause and then take targeted measures to address it. There are many reasons that can cause coughing and wheezing in babies, and if the correct triggering factors are not found, parents' treatment methods are often ineffective. If parents cannot find the cause themselves, they need to promptly seek medical treatment. Usually, the cause of coughing and wheezing in babies may be infection with bacteria, leading to pharyngitis, pneumonia, and colds.
Diseases such as laryngitis can cause coughing in babies, and due to the incomplete respiratory system of young infants, when coughing is severe, they may experience shortness of breath and wheezing. If the parents find that the baby has such a disease, they should treat the baby, take medicine under the guidance of the doctor, or give the baby some cough food such as cough syrup or snow pear stewed with rock sugar.
If the baby experiences coughing and wheezing after eating, it is also possible that food or foreign objects have entered the baby's respiratory tract. It is necessary to promptly take pictures of the baby's food. If the situation is critical, first aid measures and medical attention should be taken. If the baby has a history of asthma attacks, it may also be an asthma attack.
