What should I do if my three-month-old baby has a stuffy nose and cough?

Because children's physical development is not yet complete, they are prone to various conditions, especially illness, so they must be treated in a timely manner, otherwise the impact on the human body will be very great. Everyone must be particularly clear about this. In fact, there are many treatment methods. Now let me give you a detailed introduction on what to do.

You can turn your child over or pat his back frequently to promote blood circulation in the lungs and loosen the phlegm in the bronchi to make it easier to discharge. The method of patting the back is as follows: the sick child lies on his side or is held up to lie on his side, and the parent bends his five fingers slightly into a semi-circle, that is, half-clenched a fist, and gently pats the sick child's back, alternating between both sides. The force of the tapping 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 3 to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

If the child has obvious inflammatory symptoms while coughing, such as fever, yellow and sticky sputum, and increased white blood cell count in the blood, antibacterial drugs should be used in a timely manner under the guidance of a doctor.

Never use medicine randomly for cough, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous!

Coughing is a protective reflex of the human body. Germs and phlegm in the respiratory tract can be expelled from the body through coughing, which plays a role in cleaning the respiratory tract and keeping it unobstructed. However, some young parents find that their children have a slight cough, they are eager to feed their children various cough suppressants and cough syrups. After entering the human body, cough suppressants can quickly act on the cough center and produce a strong cough suppressant effect. Although this practice can temporarily relieve cough symptoms, it can cause a large amount of sputum and germs to accumulate in the respiratory tract, leading to secondary bacterial infection. In severe cases, it can cause chest tightness, difficulty breathing, and even atelectasis and heart failure, which are life-threatening. Therefore, do not give your child cough medicine before you find out the cause of his cough.

You can use some expectorant drugs. There is an oral solution of ambroxol hydrochloride which is specifically used for expectoration. My daughter has used it and the effect is quite good.

The above is the editor’s detailed introduction. I believe everyone should have seen it clearly. The above methods are also very good. In fact, the best way is to help children prevent the occurrence of this disease. If this disease occurs, it will be very troublesome and will affect the child’s health. Therefore, parents and friends must pay attention to it.
