1. Cough is not a disease, but a symptom that may appear in many diseases. Baby cough is a body defense reflex action to discharge respiratory secretions or foreign bodies. In other words, cough is a protective physiological phenomenon of infants. However, if the cough is too severe and affects diet, sleep and rest, then it loses its protective significance. Therefore, for the baby's cough, we must be clear about what causes it, and then deal with it symptomatically. Don't think it is a cold or pneumonia as soon as you hear your child cough, and treat it blindly.
2, drink more warm drinks can make the baby sticky and thin, relieve the tension of respiratory mucosa, and promote sputum cough. It is best to let the baby drink warm boiled water or warm milk, rice soup, etc. You can also give your baby freshly squeezed juice. The juice should be apple juice and pear juice, which is less irritating. It is not advisable to drink orange juice, grapefruit juice and other citrus juices.
3, if the baby's dry cough is more serious, you can let the baby absorb some steam, because the humidity of steam is high, which can make the baby breathe smoothly.
4. Fill the hot water bottle with hot water of about 40℃, wrap it with a thin towel outside, and then apply it to the baby's back near the lungs, which can speed up the cold, especially for the cough symptoms that appear in the early stage of the cold.
5. Cough caused by common cold. Generally, no special treatment is required. Feed the baby some warm water, ginger juice or onion water. Use cold medicine as little as possible. When the baby is irritable and feverish, you can give it to several children orally. Do not use adult antipyretics, feed cough syrup, cough tablets and other cough medicines, and do not abuse antibiotics.
