What should I pay attention to when my 1-year-old baby has bronchial pneumonia?

Bronchopneumonia in one-year-old babies is what worries mothers the most. The children are young, and they need injections and medication for treatment. Especially sometimes the children are always very uncooperative, so the treatment effect is not very good. If the condition does not improve for a long time, it will only make mothers more anxious and worried. So what should we pay attention to when a one-year-old baby has bronchopneumonia? Here we give a brief introduction to each mother.

Many babies suffer from bronchopneumonia due to upper respiratory tract infection, and the disease eventually develops into severe illness due to improper treatment. It is recommended that if your baby has an upper respiratory tract infection, it is best to go to a regular hospital to see a professional pediatrician for diagnosis and treatment to prevent the occurrence of bronchopneumonia in time. If your baby has a dry cough, then coughs up phlegm, has difficulty breathing, and in severe cases may suffer from lack of oxygen due to breathing difficulties, parents must pay more attention to these situations. If you are not clear about the symptoms of bronchopneumonia in your child, experts will teach you how to identify them. At the same time, when treating bronchial pneumonia, parents need to pay attention to the following points:

1. If your baby has bronchopneumonia, the first thing to do is to reduce the baby's cough, and parents need to pay attention to the factors that induce the baby's cough. For example, try to keep the air in the room circulating and moist, because dry air will make the baby's nasal cavity feel uncomfortable. You can use a humidifier, or you can put a wet towel or clean water in the room. The baby's environment must be free of smoke and odor, and the room should be cleaned frequently with a wet towel to avoid raising dust.

2. Babies with bronchopneumonia are prone to coughing at night. In addition to creating a comfortable environment, parents also need to master some methods to relieve the baby's cough. You can let your baby lie on his side and raise his head slightly to prevent respiratory secretions from flowing into the trachea. When the baby coughs severely, the baby needs to sit up and the parents should pat the baby's back to relieve the coughing symptoms.

3. If the baby coughs and has phlegm, parents should feed the baby more warm water to dilute the phlegm, let the baby turn over more often to reduce lung pressure and make it easier to discharge the phlegm. If a baby has bronchopneumonia, it is necessary to clear the secretions in the nose in time to keep the breathing unobstructed.

4. If your baby has bronchopneumonia, you must make sure to get more rest and not play too hard, as this may also cause the cough to worsen. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm, especially avoid exposing the head and soles of the feet to the wind and getting cold. Of course, you should not dress your baby too much just because he has bronchial pneumonia, which will cause a heat cold and worsen the condition.
