How to solve the problem of phlegm in children’s throat?

Some mothers find that their babies make a whirring sound in their throats when they sleep, and they think it is because the baby sleeps too soundly. In fact, this condition of the baby is most likely caused by phlegm in the throat. Babies with phlegm in their throats may also experience nausea when feeding and occasionally spit out milk. Mothers must be vigilant at this time. So, what are the causes and solutions to this situation?

Causes of phlegm in children's throat

First, changes in environmental temperature can easily increase respiratory diseases. Therefore, it is very common for babies to have snoring sounds in their throats, especially when they have bronchitis, bronchiolitis, pneumonia and other diseases.

Second, congenital laryngeal chondromalacia is also called laryngeal dysplasia. It is mainly caused by poor development of the larynx, which leads to larynx stenosis. As a result, when breathing, the airflow passes through the narrow lumen, which causes the sound of throat or snoring with phlegm. In addition, improper feeding can easily cause milk spraying.

Third, other reasons, such as indigestion, pharyngitis, rhinitis, gastroesophageal reflux, etc., can also easily cause the baby to have symptoms such as phlegm in the throat and milk spraying.

How should we care for babies who have symptoms such as phlegm in the throat and spitting milk?

First, if the baby's condition is caused by hypoplastic laryngeal cartilage, in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to proper sun exposure, supplement vitamin D, and mothers should eat more foods rich in vitamins to improve the baby's symptoms;

Second, pay attention to changes in environmental temperature to prevent respiratory infections. If the baby has phlegm in the throat, milk spraying and other symptoms are caused by respiratory tract infection, timely symptomatic treatment should be given to the pathogen, and attention should be paid to preventing chronic inflammation and the occurrence of complications, especially for babies around five months old. When there is a lot of phlegm and frequent milk spraying, which affects the baby's mood and sleep, it is best to go to the hospital in time to find out the cause, regulate or treat the symptoms, so as not to delay the disease.
