A month's cough and phlegm make mothers very worried, because the baby's resistance is poor, and the mother is afraid that the child will get any disease. Next, I will show you what to do if the baby coughs and has phlegm for a month.
How does the baby cough with phlegm for a month? 1 1. Drink more warm water. Warm water can moisten the baby's throat very well. It belongs to physical therapy, which can dilute the phlegm in the throat and is more conducive to the baby to cough up the phlegm. It can also play a certain role in relieving cough and resolving phlegm.
2. When the baby coughs, the mother should also pay attention to patting the baby's back in time to loosen the sputum, which can promote the baby's blood circulation, better relieve the cough, and is more conducive to the cough of sputum. The strength of the pat on the back is very important. The baby's organs are very fragile. If the force is too large, it will easily lead to accidents and even other diseases.
3. Wrap the hot water bottle with a hot towel and apply it to the baby's back. It needs to be exchanged constantly during the day and night, usually lasting for 2 to 3 days, and will soon return to normal, but this method is not suitable for babies with fever.
4. If the baby's bronchitis is serious, it is recommended that the baby go to the hospital for remission treatment through atomization therapy to avoid the deterioration of the baby's condition.
How does the baby cough with phlegm for a month? 2. What if the newborn coughs and has phlegm in his throat?
1. Sputum swatting is the most common nursing method. The specific method is to let the child lie on his side, or hold him on his side between coughs. Parents bend their fingers slightly, hold them in an empty fist shape, and gently pat the child's chest and side chest and back. Take a picture of lying on the left side, alternating sides. The power of flapping should not be too great, and it should be carried out from top to bottom and from outside to inside in turn. Shoot each side for at least 3 -5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. Gently patting the baby's chest or back can loosen the sputum in the baby's lungs and bronchi, and then drain it to the big trachea for discharge.
2, strengthen warmth, for a baby with a lot of cough, body cold will aggravate the baby's condition, cause throat discomfort, and even further lead to bronchitis, bronchitis and other respiratory diseases. Therefore, parents should take warm measures for their babies to avoid catching a cold.
3, drink more cold boiled water, water has a dilution effect, drink more cold boiled water can dilute the sputum in the baby's body, and it is easier to discharge. However, too cold water is easy to hurt the baby's stomach, so it is appropriate to use cold boiled water at around 23℃, which has a good moisturizing and physical therapy effect on the throat. In addition, cold boiled water can also help blood circulation, so that the waste and toxins metabolized by the body can be quickly discharged through urine, thus reducing the irritation to the respiratory tract.
4, indoor ventilation, keep indoor ventilation at all times, the temperature should be kept at 18-22 degrees, and the humidity should be kept at 60%-65%, which is conducive to keeping the respiratory mucosa moist and the cilia on the mucosal surface swinging, thus helping to discharge sputum. Steam expectoration, steam expectoration is similar to the principle of drinking cold boiled water to expectorate, both of which help expectoration through dilution. Specific methods: Boiling water can be poured into the teacup, so that the baby's mouth and nose face the rising steam, so that the steam can be absorbed, so that the sputum can be diluted and discharged, the congestion and edema of trachea and bronchial mucosa can be alleviated, and the cough symptoms can be alleviated. Using this method, an adult needs to monitor the whole process to avoid scalding the baby with hot water.
Second, what is the sputum produced by the baby's cough?
1, phlegm, which everyone has, belongs to secretions in the respiratory tract. When foreign bacteria or other irritants invade, secretions will increase, and they will be mixed with the remains of the body after fighting with bacteria, so the color and amount of sputum will change, causing discomfort and irritation to the respiratory tract.
2, upper respiratory tract infections (such as rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, etc. ), lower respiratory tract infection (bronchitis, pneumonia, etc. ) will lead to cough and phlegm. When the baby coughs with phlegm, there will be noise in breathing, poor breastfeeding, shortness of breath, large contour fluctuation and cough.
3. Cough is a protective reflex of the body itself, which can clean up the sputum and foreign bodies entering the respiratory tract and protect the cleanliness and smoothness of the respiratory tract. Therefore, when patients cough due to their own basic diseases, if patients take antitussive and antitussive drugs, it will be difficult to "cough", blocking the patient's respiratory tract and causing suffocation. Therefore, cough generally does not advocate the use of antitussive and antitussive drugs, so as not to affect expectoration.
4, long-term cough and phlegm will not only make the baby feel unwell, but also the accumulation of phlegm may cause complications such as otitis media and pneumonia. Therefore, when the baby coughs and has phlegm, it must be taken care of in time.
Third, what are the nursing misunderstandings of the baby's cough?
1, Myth 1: Stop coughing first and then expectorate "Is the baby coughing again?" It is common to give him a cough soon. But this is wrong. Cough is one of the body's defensive reflexes, which can excrete foreign bodies and secretions in the respiratory tract, so there is no need to rush to stop coughing when coughing, and expectorant should be considered first. Otherwise, it will often backfire.
2, misunderstanding 2: As long as it is a cough, everyone eats rock sugar stewed Sydney. Stewed Sydney with rock sugar is not a magic medicine. It can only relieve wind-heat cough and has no effect on other coughs. If you don't know what kind of cough your baby belongs to, you can't treat it by stewing Sydney with rock sugar, which sometimes backfires.
3. Myth 3: I don't care about a slight cough. Some babies only have a slight cough. They don't have a fever or a runny nose. Parents will think it's not serious and don't care. As we all know, if the baby coughs for more than four weeks, the minor illness is not cured, and the serious illness is easy to come. Therefore, if the baby's cough and expectoration haven't recovered for a month, you must go to the hospital to see a doctor for treatment, and you must not delay.
4, misunderstanding 4: frequent dressing change "The baby has been coughing for a week, why not?" In this case, many mothers will make their own decisions, choose to change medicine or change doctors directly. However, the fact is that an ordinary cough takes 3- 15 days to get better. Frequent dressing changes are equivalent to increasing the burden on the baby, and the baby's body has to adapt to new drugs.
4. What medicine can the baby take when he coughs and has phlegm?
1, children's cough brings endless troubles to parents. Drugs for cough are overwhelming, but it is difficult to stop children's cough, which affects the rest of children and parents. Some' coughs' spit out everything they eat, and parents' hearts make their children's coughs tight. Drug therapy, dietotherapy, physiotherapy and atomization therapy were used one after another, but none of them worked. What parents are most concerned about and need to solve is how to stop coughing.
2, children cough is a symptom, is a protective reflex action, through cough to clean up the "garbage" in the respiratory tract, cough is often accompanied by expectoration, sputum is "garbage." Therefore, coughing is a good thing, don't treat it. No, when there is no "garbage" in the respiratory tract, there is only congestion and edema, or the cough center is in a state of high excitement for a long time due to long-term cough stimulation. At this time, coughing is not a protective reflex action, so you should take the initiative to stop coughing. Even if it is protective, if the cough is serious and affects sleep and eating, it should be treated. Cough treatment also includes expectoration. Therefore, cough treatment is not simply taking cough medicine. First of all, we should analyze the primary factors of cough. Only by treating the cause can we get good results.
3. Children are generally not suitable for using central antitussive drugs, such as codeine, Kebiqing and coumarol. Infants and young children have immature respiratory system, poor cough reflex, narrow airway lumen, rich blood vessels, poor ciliary movement and difficult sputum discharge. If they cough, they will be given powerful antitussive drugs. Although the cough stopped temporarily, the sputum transport function of ciliated epithelial cells on tracheal mucosa and the contraction and peristalsis function of bronchial smooth muscle were inhibited. Federal cough syrup contains codeine, so pay attention to the dosage and time. Generally, this cough medicine can be used for severe irritating dry cough. But it should be used on the basis of treating the primary disease. Suitable for children to choose antitussive drugs with expectorant and expectorant effects. Syrup is superior to pills. After taking it, the syrup adheres to the pharyngeal mucosa, which weakens the stimulation to the mucosa and can achieve the purpose of relieving cough by itself. Do not dilute or take with water.
According to TCM theory, cough can be divided into hot cough, cold cough, cold cough and internal injury cough. When using traditional Chinese medicine cough syrup, because of its different properties, it can be divided into four types: cold, hot, warm and cold, so we must take it according to the symptoms. Shedan Chuanbei liquid has the effects of expelling wind, relieving cough, resolving phlegm and resolving hard mass, and is mainly used for wind-heat cough, excessive phlegm cough and so on. Cough due to wind-cold, white and thin phlegm, and heavy night and light day are not suitable for use. Compound loquat cream has the effects of clearing away lung heat, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and is suitable for wind-heat cough, dry throat and cough discomfort. Fresh bamboo juice is cold, which has the functions of clearing away heat, moistening lung, resolving phlegm and relieving cough. Suitable for dry cough, yellow phlegm with blood, not for cold cough. Drugs for relieving cough and asthma are too hot to be suitable for children with fever, cough and blood in sputum. In addition, pertussis syrup is mild in nature and suitable for cough caused by cold. If it is a cough caused by wind-heat cold, it should not be taken. Cough due to deficiency syndrome is mostly chronic cough, accompanied by fatigue, sweating and cold limbs. At this time, Guilong Kechuan Pill and Gushen Kechuan Pill should be used. There is also a commonly used cough medicine-cold cough syrup, also known as finagle syrup, which mainly relieves cough, takes into account phlegm and has a calming effect. Suitable for cough at night, affecting sleep and bronchitis caused by allergy. Children should master the dose. When treating cough, don't take antibiotics for a long time, but find out the cause. On the basis of treating the primary disease, choose the appropriate cough-relieving and expectorant drugs, and pay attention to nursing.
