Babies before the age of three are more likely to suffer from symptoms such as colds and fever, which are related to their immune system and the surrounding environment. Once a baby catches a cold, the recovery time will be relatively long, so parents are usually worried about their baby's body showing symptoms of cold and fever. So what should a one-and-a-half-year-old baby do if they have a cold, cough, and phlegm in their throat?
1. When a one-and-a-half-year-old baby develops symptoms such as a cold and cough, the first thing parents should do is to try to send the baby to the hospital for examination and treatment, because the baby is too young and many inflammations caused by colds cannot be detected with the naked eye.
2. A one and a half year old baby with sore throat and phlegm indicates that their throat is in an inflamed state. During treatment, parents need to give their child plenty of water, which can alleviate symptoms of coughing and dry throat.
3. During the baby's illness, try to maintain a light diet. Try to give babies foods with strong fluidity, which can reduce the burden on the digestive system and promote the absorption of nutrients from liquid food.
4. If a baby's cough is not good, parents should pay attention. It is usually accompanied by symptoms such as heat, cough, phlegm, and wheezing, which are mostly caused by lung heat. At this time, you can give the baby some medication to clear lung heat.
If a baby is suffering from a cold, it is necessary to pay attention to the good ventilation conditions at home and change their clothes frequently to reduce the risk of viral infection. If you have a pet at home, it is necessary to avoid contact with the pet during the period when the baby is sick, in order to prevent the bacteria from the pet from being carried to the baby, which may prolong the recovery time of the baby.
