During the growth process of babies, colds and coughs are very common. After coughing, babies often experience phlegm. The baby is still young and it's difficult to cough up phlegm in the throat, which worries the mother and she doesn't know what to do. What should I do if my baby has yellow phlegm in their throat?
When a baby has phlegm, they will swallow it in their stomach because they won't cough it up. When the baby coughs, the mother should pick up the baby and gently pat their back to help them cough up phlegm smoothly. If a baby has phlegm, it indicates that it is caused by bacterial infection. When lung heat occurs, phlegm will appear.
Encourage your baby to drink more water and soak some tangerine peel water in moderation to effectively relieve cough and phlegm. Mothers should pay attention to dietary adjustments and not let their babies eat too salty. Instead, they should encourage their babies to eat more fruits such as pears and oranges.
Mom needs to keep the indoor air fresh and frequently open windows for ventilation. Also, be careful not to blow cold air on the baby, as it may worsen their cough. Don't let the room be too dry, you can humidify the air in the room to increase the humidity inside. When coughing with phlegm, be sure to make your baby avoid eating too sweet or spicy stimulating foods. When necessary, you can take your baby to see a doctor. Nebulization can also help reduce phlegm without causing any pain to the baby.
