How to deal with baby's shortness of breath

Babies have relatively weak immune systems, and if they are not taken care of sometimes, they will be easily affected and harmed by certain diseases, such as colds or bronchitis, which can easily visit babies and cause harm to them. This condition will cause babies to have shortness of breath, so here is an introduction for parents on how to effectively solve and deal with such situations.

Babies are very susceptible to bronchiolitis, a type of pneumonia. If the child's face looks bad, often turns purple, or his breathing becomes faster, his shoulders sway when he breathes, and the lower chest wall collapses when he inhales, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.

2. Parents can observe the cough first and do not rush to the hospital

1. Although there is cough and fever, the patient is in good spirits. It is mostly a cold or 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 coughs. They can relieve symptoms and treat coughs through diet therapy.

Because coughs can be divided into exogenous coughs and endogenous coughs, and exogenous coughs can be divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs, different types of coughs require completely different medications and diet therapy methods. Here I will teach parents a simple way to distinguish them, which is to observe their child’s tongue coating. If the tongue coating is white, it is a wind-cold cough, which means the child has a severe cold. The sputum from the cough is thinner, white and sticky, and there is nasal congestion and runny nose. At this time, some warm, expectorant and cough-relieving foods should be eaten. If the child's tongue coating is yellow or red, it is a wind-heat cough, which means that the child has a lot of internal heat. The phlegm in the cough is yellow, thick, and difficult to cough up, and there is a sore throat. At this time, the child should eat some food that clears the lungs, resolves phlegm and relieves cough. Internal injury coughs are usually long-term and recurring. At this time, parents should pay attention to feeding their children foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys, and replenish the lung qi.

Parents certainly hope that their babies can grow up healthy and happy, but when they are indeed affected and harmed by some diseases, they cannot ignore the safest and healthiest treatments and solutions. Only by taking the most correct responses and solutions can they achieve the best treatment effects and reduce the harm of the disease.
