When children cough with phlegm, they can take life care and drug treatment to eliminate phlegm. Life nursing mainly includes drinking more warm water and improving diet, and drug therapy mainly includes oral expectorant drugs and atomization therapy. In drug treatment, it is recommended to use drugs under the guidance of doctors, and do not blindly buy drugs and use them to avoid adverse drug reactions and delay the illness.

First, life care:

1, drink more warm water: children drink more warm water to keep the throat and mouth moist and help to dilute sputum. Diluted sputum is more conducive to being discharged under the swing of tracheal cilia;

2. Improve diet: When children cough with phlegm, it is recommended to have a light diet. Do not eat greasy, spicy and fried foods, such as fat meat, peppers and fried chicken. You can eat digestible and nutritious foods, such as steamed egg custard, to effectively supplement the protein that children need. In addition, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits in moderation, which are rich in dietary fiber and a lot of vitamin C. Proper eating is good for your health, and some fruits have the effect of moistening the lungs and resolving phlegm, such as pitaya, oranges and Sydney.

3. Others: During the period when children have sputum, it is recommended to maintain the indoor humidity at 55%-65%, pay attention to the reasonable arrangement of life schedule, avoid overwork, and maintain adequate rest, which is helpful for the recovery of the disease. If the child's sputum is not easy to discharge, you can pat his back properly. When patting his back, hold his hand in a cup shape, and gently pat the child's back from bottom to top and from outside to inside to promote the discharge of sputum.

Second, drug therapy:

1, oral expectorant drugs: If children have a lot of sputum, they can be treated with drugs, such as taking Ambroxol Hydrochloride Oral Liquid for Children, Yitanjing, Xiaoer Magan Granules, Xiaoer Huatan Zhike Granules, etc., which have expectorant effect;

2, atomization treatment: If there is more sputum, it can also be treated with atomization. Atomization can effectively remove sputum in the body and promote sputum discharge. Commonly used drugs include ambroxol hydrochloride and α-chymotrypsin, which can increase the secretion of active substances on the surface of alveoli, thus increasing the oscillation of respiratory epithelial cilia.

If the child's symptoms of cough and phlegm are serious, it is recommended to go to the hospital to check the blood routine in time to make sure whether it is caused by virus or bacterial infection. If it is confirmed that cough and phlegm symptoms are caused by bacterial infection, antibiotics should be taken reasonably under the advice of doctors, such as ceftizoxime. If you have cough and phlegm symptoms caused by virus infection, you can use ribavirin and other drugs for treatment under the guidance of a doctor.
