However, if coughing is laborious and frequent, it can cause chest muscle pain, or increased intrathoracic pressure can cause syncope, which is dangerous. In this case, the doctor will recommend stopping the cough first to prevent the above situation. Otherwise, cough relief is generally frowned upon.

In addition to treating according to the cause, expectoration is to thin the phlegm, reduce its viscosity, or accelerate the movement of respiratory cilia to make the phlegm easier to cough up. Generally, there are local inhalation and oral medication treatments. As a parent, in addition to drug treatment under the guidance of a doctor, you should also receive auxiliary treatment to achieve better results. For example, back patting (hollow patting on the back), especially for newborns, can help cough and expel phlegm. If necessary, clean hands can be used to clasp the throat to help remove sticky phlegm.
