Regardless of the season, younger children are prone to problems such as colds and coughs. At this time, the baby may have a lot of phlegm in their throat that cannot be cleared, and they may also snore while sleeping, which looks very uncomfortable. So, what should I do if my baby has too much phlegm to cough up?
In this case, parents can help their baby resolve phlegm by changing the external environment. For example, increasing the air humidity in the room can be achieved by using humidifiers and mopping the floor frequently. After a period of time, it will be found that the baby's phlegm is not as much. In addition, nebulization can be done for babies. If it is not possible to go to the hospital, some simple nebulization can be done for babies, such as covering their mouth and nose with a wet towel.
Parents should pat their babies' backs more often to loosen the phlegm in their bronchi, which can help them cough up quickly. Finally, attention should be paid to supplementing the baby's nutrition to ensure a balanced diet. It is important to remember not to give the baby spicy or stimulating food, and it is best not to give the baby meat frequently.
Actually, most babies with phlegm are caused by coughing due to wind cold or wind heat. Coughing is beneficial for babies to clear their respiratory tract, but if they frequently cough, it can still have a certain impact on their physical health. Parents are advised to closely monitor their baby's coughing situation. If something is wrong, you should immediately consult a doctor.
