How to treat bacterial infection and cough in children?

Children's resistance is much lower than that of adults, so they are prone to getting sick when the weather changes seasons, the most common of which is cough. There are many reasons why children cough. Sometimes it is caused by viruses, but many times it may be caused by bacteria. But no matter which situation it is, the coughing caused by the child is very painful for the child. So let me talk about the treatment methods.

1. Drink more water. Give your baby more water to dilute the phlegm, making it easier to cough up the phlegm. The baby's cough will be relieved, especially giving your baby some water before going to bed and before getting up. This can relieve the baby's cough during sleep and after getting up.

2. Repair and protection of the respiratory tract lining. Coughing can easily damage the respiratory tract. For persistent coughs, the focus should be on protecting, repairing and restoring the function of the respiratory tract, such as taking vitamin AD, drinking plenty of water, and maintaining appropriate indoor air humidity.

3. Food therapy. You can choose foods that have the effect of relieving cough and clearing phlegm for your baby, such as white pear and rock sugar water, fried dates soaked in water, orange peel soaked in water, etc.

4. Clear sputum. To clean the phlegm, you can use your fingers wrapped in clean gauze to pick out the phlegm in the baby's throat, but this method has certain risks. You can also use the back-patting method. Let the baby lie on the mother's legs. The mother holds the baby with one arm and makes a fist with the other hand. She pats the baby's back (on both sides of the shoulder blades) rhythmically. The phlegm in the baby's throat can be spit out or swallowed into the digestive tract and excreted in the stool.

5. Clean and healthy living space: Smoking or rooms with poor air quality are often one of the causes of bronchiolitis in babies, so it is necessary and important to give your baby a clean and healthy living space.

After reading the above description, I wonder if it will be helpful to parents! In fact, if the child has a serious cough, he should go to a regular hospital for treatment in time and receive auxiliary treatment according to the above description. In addition, the child should pay more attention to exercise to enhance the child's resistance.
