How to solve the problem of phlegm in the child’s throat?

A baby's cold is not a very serious disease. When a baby has a cold, he may cough and there may be phlegm in his throat. During this period, the baby will cry constantly, which makes the parents feel very headache. If the child is not taken to the hospital for treatment immediately, it will seriously affect the child's physical and mental health. So how should the child with phlegm in the throat be solved?

When the child is coughing, let the child lie on his side or hold him in the position where he lies on his side. The parent slightly bends the five fingers of one hand, makes a fist, and gently pats the child's chest, sides and back. Pat your left side and lie on your left side, alternating between the two sides. The force of the slapping should not be too great, and it should be done from top to bottom and from outside to inside, in sequence. Pat each side for at least 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. The back-patting method can not only loosen the phlegm in the child's lungs and bronchi, drain it into the trachea and discharge it, but also promote blood circulation in the heart and lungs, which is beneficial to the absorption of bronchial inflammation and enables early recovery from the disease.

For children who cough, the insensible water loss through the respiratory tract will be very high, and the airway will be relatively dehydrated, which can aggravate respiratory inflammation and the viscosity of secretions, making them difficult to cough out. Let the child drink more water, especially cold boiled water at about 23°C, which has a good moisturizing and physical therapeutic effect on the throat.

Pour boiling water into a large pot or teacup, hold the child, and let his mouth and nose face the rising steam and inhale and exhale. This can thin the phlegm and facilitate coughing up, and can also reduce congestion and edema of the trachea and bronchial mucosa and reduce coughing. But be careful to avoid burns and accidents.

Note: Pay attention to a reasonable diet, do not eat or eat less fried foods, and children should also exercise more. It is difficult to improve physical fitness without exercise. At the same time, parents should let their children take medicine on time until they are fully recovered.

Children must be cautious when taking medicines. Do not give them cough suppressants at will to avoid affecting their normal health. The editor recommends that parents give their children more easily digestible foods during this period. Try not to let your children eat dry or spicy foods. The editor wishes your child a speedy recovery.
