Tips for removing phlegm from a four-month-old baby

A newborn baby will lose a lot of protection when it leaves its mother's womb. Babies have relatively low resistance and weak immunity, so they may get sick even when faced with slight external stimulation. Children start breathing with their lungs after they are born. Once they catch a cold, they will cough and expectorate. A four-month-old baby cannot speak yet, let alone cooperate with parents' treatment. So how can a four-month-old baby expectorate?

Patting the back method: When the child is coughing, let the child lie on his side or hold him up to lie on his side. The parent slightly bends the five fingers of one hand, makes a fist, and gently pats the child's back. Pat your left side and lie on your left side, alternating between the two sides. The force of the slapping should not be too great, and it should be done from top to bottom and from outside to inside, in sequence. Pat each side for at least 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day.

The back-patting method can not only loosen the sputum in the child's lungs and bronchi, drain it into the trachea and discharge it, but also promote blood circulation in the heart and lungs, which is beneficial to the absorption of bronchial inflammation.

At the same time, cold boiled water can improve blood circulation, so that the waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism can be quickly excreted from the urine, thereby reducing its irritation to the respiratory tract. Steam method

Pour boiling water into a wide-mouthed pot or teacup, hold the child, and let his mouth and nose face the rising steam and breathe in and out. This can thin the phlegm and facilitate coughing. It can also reduce congestion and edema of the trachea and bronchial mucosa and reduce coughing.

But be careful to avoid burns.
