What to do if your one month old baby has phlegm

In daily life, many mothers find that their babies always have phlegm in their throats when they sleep, and they feel that they can't swallow it or cough it up. When the baby is sleeping, the breathing is very strong and there is a lot of noise. At this time, mothers will inevitably worry about whether there is a problem with the child's lungs, and will constantly look for ways to relieve the child. What should we do if the baby has phlegm for one month!

When children cough, they often produce thick phlegm, which makes their throats gurgling. They can neither cough it out nor swallow it, and parents are always worried.

In fact, for the thick sputum in the throat of infants and young children, in addition to giving the necessary anti-infection and symptomatic treatment, some simple and easy methods can also be used to achieve good results.

1. The indoor temperature and humidity should be maintained at 18-22°C, and the relative humidity should be 55%-65%. At the same time, children should be given enough water so that the phlegm in the throat will not be too sticky and the phlegm will be easy to cough out.

2. Use expectorant drugs to dilute the sputum and facilitate its discharge.

3. Turn your child over or pat his back frequently. On the one hand, it can promote blood circulation in the lungs. On the other hand, patting the back can loosen the phlegm in the bronchi and make it easier to discharge. The correct method is: the sick child should lie on his side or be held up to lie on his side, the parents should bend their five fingers slightly into a semi-circle, that is, half-clench their fist, and then gently pat the sick child's back, pat the left side of the back if lying on the right side, and vice versa if lying on the left side. Alternate sides. The force of tapping should not be too great. It should be done from top to bottom and from outside to inside in sequence. Pat for a few minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

In fact, not only older children will catch colds and get sick. Children's immunity is too low, which can easily cause babies to have phlegm. So it is very normal for a one-month-old baby to have phlegm. You can use a suction device or go to the hospital to take effective measures for treatment.
