I believe many parents have a habit of eating sweets for their children, especially in early childhood. The happiest thing for babies is to buy snacks at the supermarket. The first choice is candy, a variety of sweets. However, after eating these sweets, babies are prone to coughing. So, what should babies who eat candy do if they cough?
1. Firstly, when a child experiences coughing symptoms after consuming sugar, it is necessary to prevent them from resuming sugar consumption during the winter season. At this time, give the child more plain water and eat more light food.
2. After a child coughs due to sugar, drink some fruit juice such as pear juice, apple juice, etc. You can also drink some rice soup and milk, and avoid acidic drinks such as orange juice or carbonated drinks to prevent further irritation to the throat and further damage.
3. When a baby coughs, they can apply a hot water bottle to their back to relieve symptoms. The specific method is to add 40 degree warm water to a hot water bottle, then wrap it in a clean towel and place it on the back closest to your lungs, which can alleviate the symptoms of coughing in babies.
4. After coughing, try to keep the baby in a clean and humid environment, maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity, and keep the baby's respiratory tract clean.
If your baby still has cough symptoms, please go to the hospital to check if you have any infectious respiratory diseases. According to the doctor's advice, you can take some anti-inflammatory and analgesic drugs as well as cough suppressants. Do not administer medication to children without the advice of a doctor.
