On the road of children's growth, the body's resistance is not as strong as that of adults, so there are often various symptoms, such as cough. Especially five or six-year-old babies, who are active and playful, will soon be sweating all over, and will catch a cold and cough if they are not careful. Today, I will introduce some tips for five-year-old babies to dry cough. Let's get to know them. 1, Use drugs with caution If the baby is treated with antitussive drugs as soon as he coughs, the cough will stop, but after the cough is suppressed, it will make it more difficult to discharge sputum. In this way, the respiratory tract will be blocked, which will not only aggravate cough, but also easily lead to lung infection. Therefore, children's early cough should be treated with expectorants first. Red throat, dry throat and sticky yellow phlegm are mostly lung heat. Children's physique is positive and prone to endogenous heat, commonly known as getting angry. Cough due to excessive internal heat is what Chinese medicine calls lung heat cough. 2, steam method If the mother finds that the baby's dry cough is too serious, you can hold the baby in the bathroom full of steam for a few minutes. The increase of air humidity can help babies clear mucus from their lungs and relieve cough. 3, add water to let the baby drink enough water, which can dilute the sticky secretions, so it is easy to cough up. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, so that the waste or toxin produced by metabolism can be quickly excreted, thus reducing the irritation to the respiratory tract. 4, indoor air circulation at home, it is necessary to often open the window for ventilation, but also to maintain indoor moderation. Ventilation and proper temperature will help keep the respiratory mucosa moist, and the cilia on the surface of the mucosa will swing, thus helping the baby to excrete sputum. 5, light diet to avoid giving your baby cold and greasy food. Eat a light diet, eat more fresh vegetables and less lean meat or eggs. Don't be greasy or fishy, because greasy food will make it more difficult to excrete phlegm in your mouth. 6. Seek medical attention in time in severe cases. If the child suddenly coughs badly and has difficulty breathing, there may be a foreign body blocking the trachea; When you have a high fever, cough, wheezing, difficulty breathing, etc. These situations need to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately. 7, the wind oil essence wipes the back to relieve cough If the baby's dry cough is more serious, you can also apply a little wind oil essence on the baby's back, and then rub it to generate heat. After a few minutes, it can also relieve the baby's cough, and mothers can give it to the baby repeatedly. This method is suitable for patients with early cold and persistent cough. Here are some tips for a five-year-old baby with a dry cough. Generally speaking, cough symptoms are mild.
