How to care for baby's snoring throat

Babies under three years old are very susceptible to respiratory diseases because of their small size and low immunity. Especially when the seasons change, there is a big temperature difference and they can get infected easily. Parents are very anxious and angry at this time. Especially if they hear the baby's throat gurgling, they will worry about whether it has caused pneumonia. Of course, you can go to the hospital to see a doctor at this time. Here, I will only introduce how parents can care for their babies regarding this phenomenon.

For the thick sputum in the throat of infants and young children, in addition to giving 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.

4. For children with thick phlegm in their mouths, parents can sometimes wrap their fingers with clean gauze and gently remove the phlegm deep in the child's mouth to keep the respiratory tract open.

5. Let your child inhale hot and moist air to thin the thick sputum and help it to be expelled. For example, the water pitcher method is to pour boiling water into a pitcher and let the child put his mouth and nose toward the pitcher mouth and inhale continuously. Of course, be careful not to burn your child.

The above methods can relieve your baby's pain, and with the doctor's symptomatic treatment, your baby will soon recover. Caring for a baby's snoring throat is only one of the things parents can do. Another thing is to take the baby to breathe fresh air, of course, outdoors, and avoid crowded shopping malls and enclosed places.
