1. Increase the relative humidity of the air

Mothers should pay attention to the ambient humidity in the room, especially in autumn and winter, when the baby inhales slightly moist and cold air, which will help the baby cough up phlegm. Specific measures can be to place an air humidifier or a basin of water in the room. Mothers usually have to mop the floor frequently, or put wet clothes or pure cotton towels in the room or on a heating plate. And pay attention to ventilation. If the air in the room is not circulated for a long time, it will be easy to breed germs. 2. Atomize

Mothers can do some simple atomization for babies who have failed to cough up phlegm, such as covering the baby's mouth and nose with a wet cotton towel to moisten the baby's mouth and nose. It is helpful for babies to cough up phlegm. 3. Pat the baby on the back

Many babies cannot cough up phlegm because the phlegm is stuck in the bronchus. Mother patting the baby on the back can promote the loosening of phlegm in the lungs and trachea and facilitate spitting out. Technique: Use a hollow palm (fingers are closed and slightly bent to make the palm hollow), pat the back from bottom to top, from both sides to the inside, for 3-5 minutes on each side, 2-3 times a day. 4. Balanced nutrition

Babies do not need to eat salty, spicy and greasy food frequently. Don't eat sweet foods when the phlegm stuck is severe, as this will aggravate the problem. The usual diet is light in taste, with a mixture of meat and vegetables to ensure a balanced diet and adequate intake of various nutrients. Recipes such as stewed pears with loquat leaves and rock sugar and white radish soup can relieve cough and reduce phlegm. 5. Protection work

In autumn and winter, it is necessary to prevent the baby from coughing with phlegm. The problem of coughing with phlegm will be more serious after the baby has a cold and cough. The more clothes the baby wears, the better. Just touch the warm and moist back of the child's neck. It is best to wear a mask when taking your baby out, and try to avoid taking your baby to densely populated areas. Places with a lot of dust, such as processing plants, are definitely not necessary. 6. Drink more water

Drinking water is something everyone does every day. If the baby coughs and has a lot of phlegm, he should drink more water. Drinking more water can dilute the phlegm and phlegm. It is less sticky, which makes it easier for the baby to spit out phlegm successfully. Moreover, drinking more water can also promote the baby's basal metabolism, which is a way that the baby must persist in! Warm reminder:

If your baby has a severe cough or blood-streaked sputum and other abnormalities, it should be due to a disease that causes the baby to cough and have a lot of phlegm. Then you should go to the hospital for diagnosis immediately without wasting time.
