During seasonal changes and dry weather, parents may notice that their baby may have phlegm in their throat. However, babies are relatively young and may not cough on their own, so they may not spit out phlegm on their own, which makes them very uncomfortable. And parents need to find ways to deal with it in order to avoid their babies always having phlegm. So, what should I do if my baby has phlegm in their throat?
Firstly, if a baby is found to have phlegm in their throat by their parents, they should drink more water appropriately. This may be caused by internal heat, and coupled with dryness, the baby is prone to sticky phlegm. Drinking plenty of water can help dilute phlegm and allow babies to cough up phlegm. If the baby cannot cough on their own, parents can pay attention to picking up the baby and gently patting their back so that phlegm can be spit out.
Secondly. If the baby has sticky phlegm in their throat, parents can take the baby to the bathroom, close the doors and windows, open hot water to release steam, and let the baby's throat be fumigated with moist air. Note that the water should be slightly hot, but it should also not affect breathing. Baby's phlegm can gradually dilute and can be vomited or swallowed with the assistance of parents.
In addition, if the baby has phlegm, parents must pay attention to help the baby to dispel fire. They can give the baby some crystal sugar snow pear water to help alleviate the baby's symptoms of lung heat, fire and so on. If other abnormal conditions are found in the baby, such as fever, cold, etc., targeted treatment is needed to avoid delaying the condition.
