What should I do if my baby has phlegm in his throat at 15 days old?

There must be a reason why the baby has phlegm in his throat. There are external reasons and internal reasons. The external reason is the environment the baby is in.

What are the main symptoms and causes of phlegm in the baby's throat and how to deal with it? Let's hear what the doctor says.

Babies do not cough, so it is difficult to remove phlegm from their throats. However, if it is not removed, it will be bad for the baby and the baby itself will feel uncomfortable. In this case, it is recommended that mothers do not take their babies to crowded public places, and should pay attention to keeping the baby warm. When the sun is out, they can take the baby out to bask in the sun more often. Babies have weaker immunity and are more susceptible to colds than adults, so be careful not to let your baby come into direct contact with cold air. The relative humidity should be maintained between 60 and 65 percent. You can use a wet cloth to mop the floor to increase the humidity in the room, which is beneficial to keeping the respiratory mucosa moist and the cilia on the mucosal surface moving. This kind of annoying phlegm can easily block the respiratory tract, causing breathing difficulties. In severe cases, it can cause breathing difficulties and even endanger life, so you have to find a way to get the phlegm out as soon as possible.

When necessary, you can still give your baby some cough suppressant and phlegm-reducing medicine. In fact, the best way for babies to reduce phlegm is water. When giving your baby cough suppressants and phlegm-reducing medicine, you still have to insist on drinking plenty of water, so that the sticky phlegm can become thinner and easier to cough out. If the baby is weak and weak, you can hold the baby upright and massage his back to help cough out the phlegm.

After listening to the above introduction, you should have some understanding of the symptom of phlegm in your baby's throat. It is important to provide good home care. The environment is really important for children. When encountering such a situation, mothers should not give their children medicine at every turn, because all medicines are poisonous. This is not good for the child's health.
