When a child coughs, there may be symptoms of vomiting, which may be caused by irritation to the throat during coughing. Usually accompanied by symptoms such as nausea and foreign body sensation, it is necessary to seek timely treatment in severe cases. So, what should be done if the baby coughs and spits white foam?
When children experience foaming at the mouth, parents should encourage them to drink more plain water and maintain a clean living environment. In severe cases, you can take your child to the hospital for a blood routine and mycoplasma test. If the cough is only caused by a cold, then children's specific cold medicine is usually taken to relieve it. If it is caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics may be necessary to achieve the goal of treatment. If a child's cough lasts for about 3-5 days, it should be considered that the cough is caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. At this time, the child can be given some heat clearing and cough relieving drugs.
Encourage children to consume more easily digestible foods and fruits and vegetables to maintain a regular diet. Although medication can be used to treat such situations, parents should not blindly administer medication to their children. They need to first go to the hospital to diagnose the cause before treatment. During this period, parents need to actively cooperate with professional doctors for treatment, so that the baby can recover as soon as possible.
