What should I do if my baby coughs and has phlegm? Is this what mothers do?

For little babies, coughing is a serious illness because they cannot cough out the phlegm in their throats on their own and must undergo interventional treatment. Babies should be fed more fresh vegetables and fruits, supplemented with enough water, and added medicinal ingredients. In addition, lily honey is also a good medicine for treating coughs.

1. What to do if your baby coughs and has phlegm

1. Eat more fresh fruits and vegetables

You can give your children more fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement enough inorganic salts and vitamins. You can also consume more fruits and vegetables containing carotene, such as tomatoes, carrots and other foods rich in vitamin A.

2. Drink enough water

Give babies who have a cough enough boiled water to drink, because sufficient water not only meets the baby's physiological metabolic needs, but also helps dilute sputum, helping the baby to cough up sputum.

3. Add medicinal ingredients

In your daily diet, you can appropriately choose some ingredients that can be used as both medicine and food, such as lily, white fungus, lotus root, pear, almond, lotus seed, ginkgo, water chestnut, etc.

There is nothing wrong with using cough suppressants to treat children's coughs. For children, treating coughs, but taking too many medicines will not only reduce the child's immunity, but also cause the baby's appetite to worsen, which will also affect their health. Diet therapy is the safest and healthiest method.
