When a baby feels unwell, many symptoms will appear. Coughing is also a common symptom of physical discomfort in babies, and grinding teeth is also quite common for babies. Some parents may notice that their babies grind their teeth when coughing, so why do babies grind their teeth when coughing?
Actually, coughing and grinding teeth are two different things. Coughing does not cause grinding teeth. There are many reasons why babies cough, such as bronchitis or tonsillitis. The cause of grinding teeth may be due to abdominal worms or digestive disorders. Once a baby experiences coughing and grinding teeth, the following methods can be used to improve it.
1. Increase the frequency of drinking water
Babies should drink more water when coughing and grinding their teeth, as water can dilute phlegm and make it easier to cough up. And it can promote blood circulation, helping the body to quickly eliminate waste and toxins.
2. Supplementing nutrition
Babies who experience coughing and grinding teeth should not only have a light diet, but also a balanced nutrition. If the nutrition is unbalanced, the body will lack vitamins and trace elements, which will lead to grinding teeth and the cough will not be relieved. Therefore, parents must ensure that their babies fully consume various nutrients.
3. Check the bite of teeth
If a child's teeth bite poorly, they may also experience grinding. Therefore, parents should take their children to see a dentist to check the bite of their teeth.
