What should I do if my baby's breathing sounds like phlegm?

Many mothers have encountered this situation when raising their babies, that is, when the child breathes, he feels there is phlegm in the throat and makes a snoring sound. This is especially true when you are sleeping at night. Phlegm in the throat can sometimes cause breathing difficulties and directly affect the child's sleep quality. However, there are many reasons for phlegm in the throat. So what should you do if your baby has phlegm in the throat when breathing?

1 Drinking more water can reduce the irritation and impact of phlegm on the respiratory tract, help eliminate toxins, and dilute the secretions in the throat, making it easier to cough out.

2 When your baby coughs, pat his back with your hands to help him expel phlegm. But remember not to use force when taking pictures, otherwise it will be counterproductive.

3. It is best for parents not to smoke. We found that the sputum coughed up by smokers was very thick. Therefore, when the baby smells the parents' smoke, it is not conducive to the development of the child's disease.

4 Most of the time, the reason for phlegm is that the environment you are in is very dry. Therefore, it is recommended that parents keep their homes moist, such as by spraying some air fresheners. Because if the air humidity is high, it will be beneficial to the movement of cilia on the surface of the baby's mucous membrane and help with sputum discharge.

5Finally, we can also relieve the symptoms through a combination of diet and medication. For example, drink more orange peel water and pear juice. If it doesn't work, take some therapeutic medicine. If it is serious, go to the hospital.

The above method can appropriately relieve the symptom of phlegm in the baby's throat when breathing. Once this symptom is relieved, the baby's sleep quality will be improved. However, if the child's symptoms of phlegm in the throat are very serious, you should go to the hospital in time to find out the cause and then receive treatment. Do not cause harm to the child due to your neglect.
