What should I do if my child feels phlegm in his throat?

Children often suffer from one disease or another because of their low resistance. When the weather changes, some children will have symptoms of colds, flu and coughs. When they cough, because they are not very good at it, phlegm often gets stuck in their throats, and the children's throats wheeze and are very uncomfortable. What can we adults do to help children at this time?

1. Use the baby's crying to induce phlegm

When there is phlegm in the baby's throat, mothers can hear it from the baby's breathing sound. Now, a more unique method can effectively help the baby cough up the phlegm. That is, when the baby wakes up, make the baby cry. When the baby cries, it is easy to induce coughing, which will help cough out the phlegm in the throat.

2. Ensure the intake of boiled water

When there is a lot of phlegm in the baby's throat, we should pay attention to using liquid to dilute it. At this time, mothers should prepare enough water for the baby and let the baby drink boiled water. After the phlegm is diluted, it will be easier for the baby to cough up the phlegm. In addition, it is best to feed your baby water during the day. Drinking water at night can easily cause edema and may also cause the baby to wet the bed.

3. Patting your baby’s back helps to cough up phlegm

A more commonly used method is to use patting the baby's back to help the baby cough up the phlegm. This is also very important. Mothers can make their palms hollow and gently pat the baby's back. This will help the baby cough up the phlegm. Pay attention to the strength when patting the back. If it is too strong, it will easily hurt the baby, and if it is too light, it will have no effect. Mothers can feel a slight vibration. It is best to pat three times a day.

If you have a baby at home, as parents, we should know more about the care of some common diseases so that we don't get panicked when the child has problems. The above three methods are what we can do when the baby coughs and has phlegm, but the phlegm cannot be coughed out. They can relieve the symptoms caused by the phlegm blocking the baby's throat.
