The child snores and has phlegm when sleeping

Children's physical resistance is relatively low during their growth and development period. Poor physical resistance will make them prone to some physical diseases. It is also a very common symptom for children to have snoring and phlegm while sleeping. This may be a respiratory disease caused by the child's getting angry. Children with snoring and phlegm need to be treated in time. You can help children clear the phlegm. You can let children drink more hot water to eliminate phlegm.

What should I do if my child snores and has phlegm when sleeping?

1. Timely replenishment of water can help patients dilute the sticky liquid stuck in the throat, thereby better helping to remove phlegm. The main way to remove phlegm is of course to drink more water and use steam expectoration. Specifically, it means letting the children drink more water to help people moisten and physically treat the throat, which also has a good effect on clearing phlegm in the child's throat. The specific steam method is to pour boiling water into a more concentrated pot, and then inhale the steam. This can help children reduce congestion and edema of the trachea and bronchial mucosa and reduce sputum accumulation.

2. Medication is a way to help patients clear phlegm, but you should also know that the side effects of medication are very large, especially since children’s body resistance is not strong. Therefore, although cough suppressants can be used to help children suppress coughs and thus help with expectoration, children should still take medication under the advice of a doctor.

People may produce phlegm due to illness, insufficient blood circulation, and other reasons, and children's organ functions are not yet fully developed. Therefore, although phlegm is common, if the child is unable to empty the phlegm in the throat for a long time, then more active methods must be used to expel the phlegm. Do not let the phlegm accumulate in the human body to cause bacteria to grow, block the respiratory tract, cause breathing difficulties, and in severe cases even lead to life-threatening and other serious conditions.

Phlegm-patting care: Patting the back is a very effective physical therapy for children with excessive phlegm. This method requires parents to clasp their hands and pat the child's back from bottom to top and from outside to inside, because this is the direction of the child's lung lobes and bronchi, which can promote the child's sputum discharge. At the same time, avoid the spine to prevent the child from getting injured. Generally, parents hold up their children's chests and put them in an arched back position, which provides the best photo taking effect.

Drink more cold boiled water at about 23°C: Lack of water in the body will make the "phlegm" in the baby's body thicker and more difficult to cough out. To this end, the easiest way is to drink more water. In particular, cold boiled water at about 23°C has a good moisturizing and physical therapeutic effect on the throat. Drinking more cold boiled water can dilute the viscous secretions, making them easier to cough out, which is beneficial for relieving cough and expectoration, and eliminating local inflammation.

Steam method: Pour boiling water into a large pot or teacup, hold the child, and let his mouth and nose face the rising steam and inhale and exhale. This can thin the phlegm and facilitate coughing up, and can also reduce congestion and edema of the trachea and bronchial mucosa and reduce coughing. But be careful to avoid burns and accidents.

Focus on expectoration and use the medicine with caution: Children should be very cautious when using medicine and should not take cough suppressants casually, so as not to suppress the cough center and hinder expectoration. You need to look at the characteristics of the baby's sputum. Some sputum is clearer, while some is stickier. You need to decide what medicine to use based on the child's specific situation. Generally speaking, the conventional medicine for children's expectorant and cough relief, "Yitanjing", can provide effective relief.

It conforms to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the respiratory tract of children, such as imperfect respiratory tract development, airway stenosis, weak ciliary motility, poor coughing and expectoration ability, and can well meet the needs of children's cough and expectoration treatment. The two ingredients of this drug can dilute mucus, increase ciliary movement and promote mucus discharge. The two work together to relieve cough and reduce phlegm.
