What should I do if my three-month-old baby has a cough? Simple and effective method

A baby's cough can make parents very worried, after all, the baby's body is very fragile at this time. The cough at this time is mostly caused by viral infection. Many parents will think of giving their children medicine. This approach must be cautious. After all, taking medicine may cause harm to the baby. So what should they do?

1. Because three-month-old babies are still young, they spend most of their time sleeping and feeding on breast milk. Coughing may be caused by viruses. This is the explanation in Western medicine, which is also called "getting angry" in traditional Chinese medicine.

2. Because they have not stopped breastfeeding, some children are drinking breast milk and formula at the same time. The key point is that milk powder itself has a lot of calories. It is not breast milk, but a compound one. Therefore, it is easy for infants and young children to get inflamed and cause coughing.

Cause of this disease: It is best to use biologically diluted saline and give your baby a little bit every day to help reduce inflammation. If the condition is more serious, you can take some medicine to reduce fever, such as Qinghuoling, Milk Powder Partner, San Gongzai Seven Star Tea, etc. If the condition is more serious, go to the hospital directly. The doctor will definitely prescribe cephalexin or other appropriate anti-inflammatory drugs or give injections.

Personally, I think that if you can avoid going to the hospital, don’t go, and if you can avoid eating, don’t eat. Prevention in daily life is the key. Usually drink clean, pure warm water.

3. In addition to the inflammation caused by the above, there is also cold, which is more common.

You can feed your baby an appropriate amount of pear juice, and pay attention to maintaining appropriate indoor air humidity and temperature, open windows frequently for ventilation, and increase the flow of fresh air. At the same time, keep drinking warm water and eat less protein, including milk powder, because this is the doctor's advice. Maybe the protein in milk powder is not easy to digest.

In serious cases, there is no need to wait, just go to the hospital directly.

4. Observe the frequency of coughing and the color of sputum

The parent registers and records the frequency of coughing so that they can tell the doctor about the situation when they go to the hospital and the doctor can make an accurate diagnosis and treatment. The color of the sputum also needs to be recorded. If it is slightly yellow, it proves that there is inflammation. If it is very yellow, it means that the inflammation is serious.
