A baby's serious physical condition or injury is often caused by parents' carelessness. Parents' negligence and some inadvertent actions can sometimes lead to big mistakes. So parents must be careful when taking care of their babies. What should I do if my baby has a lot of phlegm?
Babies have a lot of phlegm, parents must pay attention to observing their breathing. Because their swallowing ability is not very good and their mouth muscles cannot effectively deliver saliva and other substances into the esophagus, sometimes saliva can enter the respiratory tract. Sputum has a certain viscosity. It's even harder to get out after entering the respiratory tract. Mothers need to learn how to use tapping to expel phlegm accidentally inhaled into the respiratory tract.
After experiencing phlegm and breathing, the mother should have the baby lie on their side in bed. Their clothes should be worn as thin as possible, so that tapping is more effective. One hand rests between their chest and abdomen, while the other hand holds them empty, gently patting their back from top to bottom. After tapping a few times, you can place the baby's mouth down on their thigh and use the same tapping technique to check if phlegm is flowing out of their mouth. If it doesn't flow out, repeat the above actions.
In addition, for routine medication treatment, it is necessary to see a doctor and have them prescribe some medication for the baby. If the symptoms are clear and mild, Baoma can give them some cough suppressants and phlegm reducing drugs from the pharmacy, and make some foods that are beneficial for removing phlegm.
