The reason why babies have phlegm sounds when they sleep

Babies need a better environment when they sleep, and good sleep quality can also bring a lot of help to the baby's healthy growth. However, many parents will find that their babies' breathing seems to be more rapid and there is phlegm sound when they are sleeping. So have you analyzed and understood what are the reasons that may cause such phenomena in babies? Let me explain it in detail for you below.

For the thick sputum in the throat of infants and young children, in addition to giving necessary anti-infection and symptomatic treatment, some simple and easy methods can also be used to achieve good results.

1. The indoor temperature and humidity should be maintained at 18-22°C, and the relative humidity should be 55%-65%. At the same time, children should be given enough water so that the phlegm in the throat will not be too sticky and the phlegm will be easy to cough out.

2. Use expectorant drugs to dilute the sputum and facilitate its discharge.

3. Turn your child over or pat his back frequently. On the one hand, it can promote blood circulation in the lungs. On the other hand, patting the back can loosen the phlegm in the bronchi and make it easier to discharge. The correct method is: the sick child should lie on his side or be held up to lie on his side, the parents should bend their five fingers slightly into a semi-circle, that is, half-clench their fist, and then gently pat the sick child's back, pat the left side of the back if lying on the right side, and vice versa if lying on the left side. Alternate sides. The force of tapping should not be too great. It should be done from top to bottom and from outside to inside in sequence. Pat for a few minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

4. For children with thick phlegm in their mouths, parents can sometimes wrap their fingers with clean gauze and gently remove the phlegm deep in the child's mouth to keep the respiratory tract open. 5. Let your child inhale hot and moist air to thin the thick sputum and help it to be expelled. For example, the water pitcher method is to pour boiling water into a pitcher and let the child put his mouth and nose toward the pitcher mouth and inhale continuously. Of course, be careful not to burn your child.

After understanding the reasons, parents should now know what is going on when their baby has rapid breathing and phlegm sounds when sleeping! If you want your baby to grow up healthier and happier, then when you find that he has similar symptoms in his body, you need to pay attention. Only when we discover the problem in time can we help the baby solve it in time.
