Cough is a common disease in young children, and it will be very obvious in babies. How can parents not feel bad when they see their baby coughing? Therefore, the medicine for relieving cough should be applied in a hurry, and the baby should not cough in a short time. But this is often counterproductive. As everyone knows, cough is one of the body's defensive reflexes, which can excrete foreign bodies and secretions in the respiratory tract, so cough should not be rushed to stop coughing, and expectoration should be considered first. While taking expectorant drugs, add more water to the baby to make the sputum thinner, which is beneficial to the baby's expectoration.

Parents will think that such ingredients are harmless to the baby as long as they are not inferior products, and they are sweet, so the baby should not be disgusted. As everyone knows, there are many types of baby cough, and different types have different treatment methods. Similarly, it is impossible to treat a baby's cough by stewing Sydney with rock sugar, and sometimes it will have the opposite effect.
