Raising a baby requires constant attention to their health, and one should never let their carelessness lead to their catching a cold or falling ill. Some babies suffer from cold and dry cough due to improper care by their mothers. But many mothers do not have rich nursing experience. What if their baby catches a cold and coughs?
1. Dietary regulation
A baby's cold and dry cough is not a particularly serious illness. Mothers should not immediately administer medication to the baby. Instead, they can adjust their diet by cooking some pear juice for the baby to drink. Although pear is a fruit, it is still a good medicine for treating cough, with excellent effects of moistening the lungs, generating fluids, stopping cough, and resolving phlegm. During the cooking process, Baoma can also add a few rock candies to the soup, which can double the cough suppressant effect and improve the taste of pear juice.
2. Humidify the indoor air
In addition to paying attention to diet, indoor air also needs to be improved in a timely manner. During a baby's dry cough, the throat and respiratory tract are particularly dry. Mothers should try to keep the indoor air moist as much as possible. You can place a humidifier or a pot of hot water indoors to keep your baby close to the steam, which can also alleviate the symptoms of dry cough.
3. Keep warm
Baby's cold cough may also be caused by allergies to cold air, so mothers should keep their babies warm in a timely manner. You can add clothing in moderation or find ways to raise the indoor temperature. It is best to use electric heating, which can raise the room temperature without causing the indoor air to dry out.
