What is the reason why my baby coughs?

Although a baby's cough is a self-protection reaction of the body and does not require excessive intervention or treatment, if the baby's cough is severe, it will affect the baby's normal life. At this time, the mother has figured out the reason for the baby's cough. Some conditioning fluids in life will relieve the symptoms of the baby's cough, or let the baby's cough heal itself. The following is an introduction to the reasons for the baby's cough:

First, cough caused by viruses

The cough caused by internal heat in traditional Chinese medicine is what Western medicine calls a viral cough. During the breastfeeding stage, babies are often supplemented with milk powder as their staple food. Milk powder is high in calories and can easily cause infants to get too hot and cause inflammatory coughs. At this time, let your baby drink more water, or an appropriate amount of salt water, which can help reduce inflammation.

Second, cough caused by cold

In addition to causing cough, colds are also accompanied by symptoms such as runny nose and thick phlegm in the throat. It is common for babies to cough due to colds, but parents should not take it lightly. It is recommended to feed your baby some pear juice in moderation, and pay attention to maintaining appropriate indoor air humidity and temperature. This will relieve cold symptoms and cough.

Third, allergic cough

When the baby coughs and also rubs his eyes, nose, scalp, etc., parents should pay attention, as this is most likely a cough caused by allergies. This is a cough variant of asthma and is an early symptom of asthma. At this time, parents can further determine whether the baby's cough is an asthmatic cough through the following ways: the baby's cough is accompanied by white foamy sputum and no fever; the baby is restless when sleeping, likes to curl up to sleep, and sweats profusely when lying down to sleep. At this time, it is recommended that parents take their babies to the doctor for diagnosis as soon as possible.

Fourth, cough caused by environmental discomfort

If the room temperature is too low or there is air conditioning or cold wind, it will cause your baby to cough. At this time, parents should pay attention to adjusting the indoor temperature to suit the baby in time. The room temperature should be around 25℃. If the air is too dry, you can add a humidifier and the humidity should be around 60-65%.
