What to do if your child has a mild cough and phlegm

Even a mild cough in a child should be taken seriously. There are many diseases that can cause coughing, the most common of which is upper respiratory tract infection. For example, after a cold, the virus will enter the respiratory tract through our nasal cavity or mouth, causing inflammation of the mucous membrane of the upper respiratory tract, thus leading to coughing. At this time, you should actively treat the cold, otherwise the symptoms of cough will become more serious. Let’s take a look at what to do if your child has a mild cough with phlegm.

If your baby has a cough, the choice of medicine must be very particular. Looking at the symptoms, if there is persistent fever, nasal congestion, etc., you can choose some safe Chinese patent medicines with no side effects, such as Children's Lung Heat Cough and Asthma Oral Liquid, which is a pure Chinese medicine preparation with a better taste and a smaller dosage, which is more acceptable to children. When the baby is young, due to the low immunity of the body, it is easy to get respiratory system infection, which will cause phlegm in the baby's throat, snoring, and red face. If it is not serious, pay attention to maintaining indoor hygiene, open windows for ventilation, and the indoor temperature should not be too high. You can give the baby some water to help cough up the phlegm.

Parents can observe first and do not rush to the hospital for children with coughs. 1. Although the child has a cough and fever, he is in good spirits. Most of the time, it is a cold or childhood tonsillitis. 2. Coughing continues after having a cold, fever and cough. 3. Cough and excessive sputum, but no fever and good spirits. 4. A cough that only occurs in the early morning. 5. Mild coughing when you are nervous or after exercise. Parents do not need to worry too much about the above 5 types of children's cough, and the symptoms can be relieved through diet therapy.

In fact, in addition to upper respiratory tract infection, children's cough with phlegm can also be caused by bronchitis. This phenomenon often occurs after an upper respiratory tract infection. Due to incomplete treatment, the infection eventually spreads to the bronchi and causes inflammation. At this time, the onset of the disease is often more acute, gradually leading to coughing, and the sputum is increasing. In severe cases, it can cause difficulty breathing, which should be given enough attention.
