Prepare an insulated straw cup at the baby's bedside, which contains 38~45 degrees of warm water. After each cough, feed your baby as much as possible, which will help relieve cough and relieve discomfort such as dry throat and itching. Whether it is a dry cough or phlegm in the baby's throat, this method is suitable for day or night. In addition to boiled water, a small amount of fruit juice can also be mixed with water, but attention should be paid to choosing apple juice or pear juice with less irritation, and don't choose orange juice that is too sweet or too irritating. If there is phlegm in the throat, drinking warm water will help relieve the tension of the respiratory mucosa, make the baby's phlegm thinner, reduce irritation, and naturally reduce the number of coughs. If it is a dry cough, the throat will become dry, itchy and uncomfortable. Drinking warm water at this time can moisturize the respiratory tract and the baby will feel better.
2, dry cough, fumigation with hot air.
For a baby with a dry cough, you can prepare a steaming cup of hot water and put it under the baby's nose to let the hot air come out. In this way, from the nose, mouth to throat, the whole respiratory tract can be exposed to hot air, and it will become moist. A baby's cough is sometimes caused by the dry stimulation of the respiratory tract. As long as you stay moist, you can improve and reduce the number of coughs.
3. Coughing while sleeping can help him raise his upper body.
When the baby suffers from pneumonia or tracheitis, there will be phlegm in his throat, sometimes there will be 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, leading to cough at night. At this time, the baby's upper body can be raised, such as laying an inclined plane with bedding, so that the baby can lie on it. Looking up can reduce the reflux of nasal secretions and reduce the number of coughs. Remind mom, don't just raise the pillow, raise the whole upper body.
