What should I do if my child always has phlegm in his throat?

Some common symptoms that children suffer from when they have a cold, and some other symptoms caused by the cold often cause them more harm. For example, when children have cold symptoms, some symptoms such as coughing and runny nose may also occur. Phlegm in the throat is a common symptom. So how should parents take care of this symptom? How can we make children feel more comfortable?

1. Pay attention to the air circulation in the baby's room to ensure fresh air. When the weather is cool, open the windows frequently for ventilation. The indoor temperature should be controlled at around 20 degrees and the relative humidity should be controlled at 60%.

2. When the baby wakes up in the morning, a lot of phlegm will have accumulated in the throat overnight. Sometimes the baby will cry when he wakes up. Parents can let the child cry or tease the baby to cry. When the baby cries hard, it will promote the discharge of phlegm in the trachea.

3. When the baby has phlegm in the throat, give the baby more boiled water with a temperature of more than 20 degrees during the day. This can help dilute the sticky phlegm in the baby's throat and help the baby cough out the phlegm in the trachea.

4. To help the baby expel phlegm, there is a way to pat the back. Just bend your fingers together to make your palm hollow, and then let the baby lie on his side or the parent can hold the baby. Use the hollow palm to pat the baby's back from top to bottom and from outside to inside. Keep the strength when patting and feel a slight vibration. Repeat this patting for three minutes and three times a day to help the baby expel phlegm.

If parents master the care methods for these diseases, their babies will suffer less during the illness. This will help your baby get better faster. Parents don't have to worry anymore. Parents' care for their children is also a dose of medicine when the children are sick. If the wrong medicine is given, the baby's illness will definitely not get better quickly.
