Parents accidentally discovered that their two month old baby at home began to cough up phlegm, feeling a large amount of phlegm in the baby's throat. When swallowing, parents could also clearly feel the presence of phlegm in his throat. If a baby has a lot of phlegm in their throat, it can also have a significant impact on their health management. So, what should we do if a two month old baby has a lot of phlegm?
A two month old baby with excessive phlegm may be related to catching a cold at night, or it may be due to the child suffering from diseases such as bronchitis or pneumonia. When you are unsure why there is so much phlegm in a baby's throat, you should take the baby to the hospital for a detailed physical examination. At this time, the baby's body is still small and their resistance is weak. If not handled properly, it can easily lead to more serious illnesses.
If a two month old baby has symptoms of excessive phlegm, parents can give the baby more water appropriately, so that the phlegm in the baby's throat can be diluted faster and will not accumulate in the throat, causing a particularly uncomfortable sensation. If breastfeeding a baby, mothers should remember to eat light food during this period, avoid eating too greasy food, and prevent the baby from absorbing greasy breast milk.
If you take good care of a baby, it is rare for them to have excessive phlegm at two months old, but it is not absolute. Parents should be able to help solve a child's illness, but not blindly.
