The baby's body is in the stage of growth and development, and the functions of various organs are gradually improving. At the same time, it is also a relatively fragile time, so daily life cannot be separated from the careful care of parents. The baby's immune system is relatively weak, so it is easy to experience symptoms such as physical discomfort. So, what should a 6-month-old baby do if they cough and have phlegm?
If a 6-month-old baby coughs and has phlegm, parents need to open windows regularly to maintain ventilation and fresh air in the baby's room. At the same time, it is not advisable to let the air be too dry and try to keep it at a suitable humidity in summer. This can keep the baby's respiratory tract moist and help the baby cough up phlegm.
When a baby has cough and phlegm, it is important to give them plenty of water or boil pear soup to help reduce phlegm and relieve cough. If the baby cannot expectorate well, parents can hold the baby, let the baby stick to themselves, and then gently pat the back with their palm, from bottom to top, with moderate force.
Every morning when you wake up, your baby may have a lot of phlegm. Parents may want to play with your baby's crying and laughing appropriately, which can help to expel the phlegm as soon as possible. Or place the baby in an environment with steam, which can keep the respiratory tract moist and help expel phlegm.
