Every baby's growth process will have some ups and downs, and they are inevitably troubled by some diseases. Especially during seasonal changes, when the temperature fluctuates, babies are more prone to coughing problems. Watching the baby being tormented by coughing, the mother also felt very uncomfortable. What should I do if my one year old baby coughs?
A baby over one year old can already eat a lot of complementary foods, which can be adjusted through diet when coughing. Mothers can boil some pear juice with rock sugar for their babies to drink, which has a good effect on relieving cough and phlegm. If you want the cough suppressant effect of rock sugar pear juice to be better, you can also add some Chinese medicinal herbs such as loquat and Sichuan scallop that have cough suppressant effects.
Mothers can also give babies steamed pears by hollowing out the pears and adding some rock sugar at the center. Then steam for ten minutes until all the rock sugar has melted and the pear meat is cooked. Turn off the heat. Take out the pot and let it dry for half an hour. After the pear meat warms up, feed it to the baby. It is best to let the baby drink the rock sugar juice inside, as this method will have a better effect on moistening the lungs and stopping cough. Although the method may be a bit complicated, it is still worth trying for the health of the baby.
If a baby coughs severely, even making a hissing sound in the lungs, then it cannot be solely regulated through diet. At this point, it is highly likely that the baby's lungs have also been infected, causing tracheitis. It is necessary to seek medical attention in a timely manner and take medication to avoid further delaying the condition and developing into pneumonia.
