What to do if your child coughs at ten months old

Children's respiratory systems are not as sound as adults', so they are more susceptible to respiratory infections. Especially in spring and winter, this makes many mothers very worried. Because children are prone to coughing non-stop due to infection. Children cannot take medicine all the time, so it is important to enhance the baby's disease resistance. Below, we recommend several methods that you can use when your baby keeps coughing.

Children should eat a light diet when they are coughing. For children with long-term cough, you can boil pears and rock sugar in water to drink, which has the effect of moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. You can also cook porridge with fresh lilies, which is very effective for children who have been coughing for a long time and have weak lung qi. For children with spleen deficiency, they can eat more yam, or cook lotus seed porridge, coix seed porridge and jujube porridge.

You can often turn your child over or pat his back, which can promote blood circulation in the lungs and loosen the phlegm in the bronchi for easy discharge. The method of patting the back is as follows: the sick child lies on his side or holds him up to lie on his side, and the parents bend their five fingers into a semi-circle, that is, half-clench their fists, and pat the sick child's back lightly, alternating between the two sides. The patting force should not be too strong, and it should be done from top to bottom, from outside to inside, in sequence. Pat each side for 3 to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

A ten-month-old baby is not even one year old yet, so it is normal for him to get sick easily. However, if the baby's immune system is strong in disease resistance, he will not get sick easily and his body will be stronger. Therefore, it is recommended that children should strengthen outdoor exercise when they are a little older, and occasionally bask in the sun, and not stay indoors all the time.
