One-year-old baby has a lot of phlegm and a hoarse throat

The symptoms of one-year-old babies with excessive phlegm and hoarse throat are mainly caused by bronchitis or chronic pharyngitis. It is recommended that mothers should take their babies to the hospital for treatment in time. Generally, the reason why one-year-old babies have excessive phlegm and hoarse throats is due to colds, which can easily lead to throat infections. Mothers can learn about the treatment and emergency measures for this symptom.

What is the reason for the baby's throat gurgling?

Generally, the foreign body sensation in the baby's throat mostly occurs after a cold. If the baby has this symptom, it is very likely that he has caught a cold and has an upper respiratory tract infection. Harmful bacteria and viruses invade the body through the upper respiratory tract, causing inflammation. The throat becomes red and swollen, and phlegm accumulates, which causes this snoring sound. As long as the inflammation does not dissipate, the phlegm will always be there. We adults may also have this kind of sound in our throats when we catch a cold.

What to do if baby has phlegm in throat?

When babies have a cold and phlegm in their throats, it is mostly because of bronchitis. Many parents may not know the fastest way to remove phlegm from newborns. You can consult a doctor for details. Of course, if you understand the relevant emergency measures, you can also clean the phlegm for your baby at home.

The two nasal cavities are connected. When there is mucus, the mucus will flow into the nasal cavity along the throat, so mothers can clean the foreign objects in the baby's nasal cavity first. If the nose is blocked, you can choose to use a warm towel to apply heat to the baby's nose bridge. Be careful not to make the towel too hot to avoid scalding the baby's skin. You can also choose a baby-specific nasal dropper to help clear the baby's nasal cavity and then find a way to clear the snot.

After the nasal cavity is unblocked and the mucus is softened, you can use a special baby nasal cleaner to suck out the mucus. If you don’t have relevant equipment at home, you can choose a transparent soft plastic tube with a smaller diameter to suck out the mucus yourself.

Cleaning the nasal cavity and sucking out the mucus is only a temporary solution and can only relieve the emergency temporarily. The most important thing is to find a way to cure the inflammation. You can give your baby some anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor to relieve the inflammation of the throat. It should be noted that infants cannot take oral anti-inflammatory drugs for adults to treat inflammation. At the same time, you should keep warm to avoid worsening of cold inflammation. If your baby has a sore throat, you can give him some warm water to relieve the discomfort in his throat.
