What should I do if my baby has a cough, phlegm and a sore throat?

When a child has a cough, it is sometimes caused by a cold, but sometimes it is a symptom of asthma. In the case of a cold, it can be cured quickly by simply eliminating the cold virus from the body. However, if it is due to asthma, it will be more troublesome because asthma is more difficult to cure. Let the editor tell you what to do if your child has phlegm and a sore throat.

What to do if you have a sore throat due to phlegm

It is common for children's cough to develop into cough and asthma, which is mainly related to parents' lack of attention to their children's cough. When their children have a cough, many parents tend to think that their child’s cough is not a disease and does not require treatment and will get better on its own after a while. However, the child’s cough often becomes more severe and they go to the hospital for treatment. The cough turns into cough and asthma, which increases the difficulty of treatment.

For children with colds and coughs, targeted treatment should be given in time, because once bronchitis and bacterial infection occur, it is easy to cause cough, asthma and other respiratory diseases. However, when treating children, parents should pay attention to whether the child has a wind-heat type cough or a wind-cold type cough. Do not blindly give the child medication to avoid drug damage.

In addition to targeted treatment, dietary adjustment is also very important. Children with cough and asthma should mainly choose foods that are neutral or warm in nature: cereals should be mainly rice, corn, glutinous rice, and oats. Meat should be more beef, mutton, pork, sea fish, chicken, which are warm and neutral in nature, and cold fruits should be avoided as much as possible. Fruits that are neutral, neutral and warm in nature include: grapes, apples, peaches, lychees, oranges, cherries, pomegranates, etc. These fruits can be eaten frequently, while some cold fruits should be avoided as much as possible. Among the vegetables, you should eat more yams, carrots, cabbage, greens, potatoes, onions, etc.

Finally, the editor would like to remind everyone that if the child has phlegm and sore throat, what should be done? The medication needs to be controlled to a certain extent, and diet therapy can also be used, such as eating autumn pears and white lotus roots, green fruit water sugar tea, rock sugar and snow pears, etc. In normal times, you also need to drink more boiled water to help moisturize the throat.
