Backslapping method
When the baby coughs, let him lie on his side or pick him up. Gently pat your baby's back with your hollow fist, from top to bottom, from outside to inside, for at least 3-5 minutes each time, 2-3 times a day. This will not only loosen the sputum, but also help the blood circulation of the heart and lungs!
Drinking water method
Give your baby some cold boiled water of about 23°C, which can dilute the sticky secretions in the respiratory tract and help your baby cough up sputum more easily. At the same time, cold boiled water can also improve blood circulation and reduce the irritation to the respiratory tract!
Steam method
Pour boiling water into a large jar or teacup, pick up the baby and let his nose and mouth breathe into the rising steam. This can dilute sputum, reduce congestion and edema of trachea and bronchial mucosa, and reduce cough. But please be careful to avoid burns!
Drug law
Use expectorants such as ammonium chloride, platycodon grandiflorum and polygala tenuifolia under the guidance of a doctor. In addition, stewed Sydney with Chuanbei is also a good traditional Chinese medicine prescription for resolving phlegm and relieving cough! Just cut off the pear head and cover it, dig out the core, add rock sugar and fritillary bulb, cover the pear head and steam it.
