baby cough remedies

when the dry cough persists, steam it with hot air

for the baby with dry cough, you can prepare a cup of steaming hot water, put it under the baby's nose and let the emitted hot air smoke it. In this way, from the nose, mouth to throat, the whole respiratory tract can be exposed to hot air, and it will become moist. Baby's cough is sometimes caused by dry respiratory tract. As long as it is kept moist, it can get better and reduce the frequency of cough. In order to prevent scalding by hot water, the baby can try the following methods and achieve the same effect:

1. You can dip a towel in hot water, twist it a little, and put a warm towel on the baby's nose and mouth to smoke.

2. You can also hold the baby and stay in the steam-filled bathroom for 5 minutes.

3. Turn on the humidifier, so that the baby can get closer to the sprayed steam. Keep the humidifier on at home and keep the indoor humidity at 6%? In 65% of the environment, the baby's symptoms will be alleviated.

Coughing constantly while sleeping can help him raise his upper body.

When a baby suffers from pneumonia or tracheitis, he will have phlegm in his throat, and sometimes he will have wheezing, and he will cough when he lies down at night. This is because when lying flat, the baby's respiratory secretions are not discharged smoothly, which leads to cough at night.

At this time, you can raise the baby's upper body, for example, spread an inclined plane with bedding and let the baby lie on it. Raising the head can reduce the back drainage of nasal secretions and reduce the frequency of coughing. Remind mom, not just to raise the pillow, but to raise the whole upper body. If the baby keeps coughing up phlegm, it is best to let the baby lie on his side to facilitate the discharge of respiratory secretions and avoid choking or suffocation.

clap your back to eliminate phlegm

Sometimes you will hear your baby cough and breathe deeply and hard, and the breathing sounds wheezing. In fact, this is caused by sticky sputum attached to the baby's trachea wall, which makes it necessary for the baby to cough up the sputum with great effort or frequent coughing. At this time, you can help him by patting his back with phlegm.

Let the baby sit up or sit on his mother's lap, and lean forward slightly. Mother will bend the four fingers of one hand together, showing a hollow shape, starting from the middle of the back, about the position of the lungs, all the way to the shoulders, flapping from bottom to top, and applying a little force to help the baby cough the sticky sputum on the tracheal wall, so that the sputum will come out easily and the cough will naturally be relieved. About the position of the lungs, from the beginning to the shoulders, pat from bottom to top, and use a little force to help the baby cough the sticky sputum on the tracheal wall, so that the sputum will come out easily and the cough will naturally be relieved.
