In the cool autumn season, babies may catch a cold accidentally. Parents often ask, what should a three-year-old baby do if they cough frequently? What are some small ways? Today, the editor is here to relieve parents' worries. A three-year-old baby often coughs. What should mothers do? The following suggestions:
1. Pay attention to temperature
A three-and-a-half-year-old baby is active and prone to sweating on their back. If not treated in a timely manner, the baby is prone to catching a cold, which is also one of the reasons for coughing. It is recommended to soak the baby's feet in hot water before bedtime, add some scallions to the water, and use the scallions to wipe the soles of the feet during the soaking process.
2. Pay attention to rest
If a baby coughs, they will naturally sleep soundly at night. Without rest, a person's resistance will weaken. Parents can encourage their baby to increase their sleep time during the day in order to better resist bacterial invasion.
3. Onion/Garlic Method
The method is to chop the scallions/garlic into small pieces, wrap them in plastic wrap before going to bed at night, and place them on the soles of the feet. They can be removed the next morning.
4. Moisturizing and pain relieving ointment method
Take a piece of moisturizing and pain relieving cream, about five centimeters in length, and apply it to the baby's throat. For babies who cough due to cold, applying it for a day will generally take effect.
5. Drink more hot water
Water is essential for the human body because it accelerates blood circulation and increases the elimination of toxins from the body. For babies who are coughing, it is even more important to drink plenty of hot water.
