It is common for babies to develop pneumonia and cough. In such cases, it is important to pay attention to the indoor temperature and humidity. The optimal indoor temperature should be between 18-20 ℃, and the air humidity should be maintained at 60% to prevent coughing caused by dry respiratory secretions.
In terms of diet, parents should also give their babies more nutritious and easily digestible foods, preferably adopting a small and frequent meal plan, and require their babies to drink plenty of plain water to moisten their lungs and prevent coughing. In addition, when it comes to medication for babies, it is also important to choose drugs that can reduce phlegm and cough. Especially for babies with excessive phlegm, suction or nebulization is necessary.
When a baby coughs with pneumonia, it is important to avoid transmission. Therefore, when a baby coughs, it is important to prevent droplet spraying by covering their mouth with a handkerchief or paper. Additionally, it is important to remind the baby not to spit on the ground to prevent the bacteria from infecting others. In addition, it is also necessary to encourage babies to engage in outdoor activities, exercise their bodies, and enhance their physical fitness. It is also important to provide babies with appropriate clothing to prevent colds and the worsening of pneumonia.
