What should I do if my baby has a severe cough

  Many babies, due to their young age, have weak physical resistance and are prone to contracting diseases. Many parents believe that as long as their child does not have a fever, their cough is not severe, which is a very wrong idea. Once a child experiences abnormal physical conditions, parents should pay more attention to them. So, what should I do if my baby has a severe cough?

  

What should I do if my baby has a severe cough1

  There are many ways to solve severe coughing in babies, including the following:

  1. Immediately take the baby to a regular tertiary hospital for a comprehensive and detailed physical examination, identify the cause of the baby's severe cough, and then provide corresponding treatment according to the doctor's guidance. For example, according to medical advice, the baby can take medication or receive medication injections in the hospital for treatment, so that the baby can recover as soon as possible.

  2. If a baby coughs severely, food therapy can be used. Normally, the baby's diet should focus on light and refreshing foods. Remember not to give the baby spicy or overly greasy heavy flavored foods, especially not to give the baby purchased junk food. Instead, let the baby eat more fresh vegetables, such as fungus, cucumber, bok choy, chrysanthemum and other vegetables. You can also give your baby some fruits with cough relieving function, such as snow pear, loquat, etc.

  3. It is also possible to encourage babies to exercise appropriately to relieve coughing, as exercising also enhances their own resistance. Using their own immune system to resist viruses and bacteria can be more effective.
