The weather is unpredictable, and the baby's health is poor. If they cannot adjust their body temperature in a timely manner, they will inevitably get sick. After getting sick, babies often have phlegm in their throats, and parents don't know how to deal with this situation. So, let's take a look at what to do if the baby has phlegm in their mouth?
1. Back clapping method
When a baby has phlegm in their throat, parents can pat them on the back. The baby should lie on the parents' thighs and adopt a hunched back position. The parents should use a hollow palm to gently pat from bottom to top, from outside to inside. The force of the pat should not be too strong, at least for about five minutes at a time, three times a day. The back patting method can loosen the phlegm in the baby's lungs and bronchi, allowing it to be discharged from the trachea. At the same time, it is beneficial for the blood circulation in the baby's heart and lungs, allowing bronchitis to be absorbed and the disease to recover as soon as possible.
2. Warm keeping method
Babies have weak immunity and are more susceptible to catching colds and respiratory diseases such as bronchitis compared to adults. At this time, parents should take good measures to keep warm and not let their babies catch a cold again.
3. Indoor ventilation
The room where the baby is staying should keep the air fresh. Regularly open windows for ventilation and keep the indoor temperature between 18-22 degrees Celsius. However, be sure not to let cold air blow onto the baby. The humidity should be maintained at 60% -65%. When the room is too dry, it is recommended to use a damp cloth to mop the floor to increase the humidity of the room. This can keep the mucous membranes in the respiratory tract moist, and then the cilia on the surface of the mucous membranes can swing smoothly to expel phlegm.
