After Baobao was born, the health of the baby became the top concern for parents. If the baby feels unwell, the first thing to worry about is the parents. Therefore, parents need to patiently take care of their babies. If they accidentally catch a cold, the baby may cough and have a runny nose. So, what should I do if my baby has a runny nose and coughs?
1. Drink plenty of plain water. Plain water can dilute phlegm, making it easier to cough it up. In addition, plain water can moisturize dry and itchy throat. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, allowing waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism to be quickly eliminated from the body, thereby reducing irritation to the respiratory tract.
2. Eat a light diet and avoid eating raw, cold, greasy food. Baby's diet should be light, with more vegetables and small amounts of lean meat and egg products. But don't eat greasy food, don't eat fishy food, fruits are also indispensable, but don't eat too much, and oranges should not be eaten when coughing due to wind heat. It is recommended not to eat sour foods as they have the effect of reducing phlegm and are not conducive to resolving phlegm.
Babies are prone to illness and discomfort, mostly caused by poor physical fitness. Therefore, after the baby recovers, parents can take the baby to exercise more and enhance their physical fitness. Don't give your baby too much food that can cause internal heat, and snacks should also be controlled. Otherwise, if your baby likes to eat snacks, they won't like to eat, which is also detrimental to their health.
