Why does my baby cough and become sleepy?

The baby's cough is caused by cold virus or cold air. We should pay attention to the baby's protection so as to alleviate the symptoms of cough. For the symptoms of drowsiness caused by the baby's cough, we can use the method of stewing snow pear with rock sugar to treat it, and let the baby do more appropriate activities, which can relieve the cough and drowsiness. As for the causes of baby's coughing and drowsiness, we can understand the reasons introduced in the article.

The reason why babies cough is mostly due to the invasion of cold or heat evils, which leads to the failure of lung qi to flow. Most of them are caused by upper respiratory tract infections, and most of them are viral infections. If your baby shows symptoms of lack of energy and wanting to sleep, on the one hand it is due to the cold virus itself. The baby will feel weak all over and want to sleep, and feeling drowsy makes him appear to have no energy. On the other hand, it may be because the bacteria have consumed the body, and the baby's gastrointestinal function is not perfect. The cold has increased the burden on the baby's gastrointestinal tract. Once the baby has no appetite and is malnourished, the baby's mental state will be very poor. In addition, some mothers give their babies cold medicines that contain some drowsiness-inducing ingredients, so the babies will always want to sleep.

The best way to treat baby's cold and cough is diet therapy. The first and most fundamental thing is to let the baby drink more warm water and replenish the baby with sufficient water to ensure the moist state of the throat, which can relieve the discomfort in the baby's throat. In addition to drinking water, mothers can prepare some Chuanbei and rock sugar stewed pears to feed their babies. The method is very simple. First peel and core the pears, then grind the Chuanbei into powder, then add rock sugar and put them in a pot and steam them. In terms of diet, mothers should pay attention to the baby's complementary food, which should be light, and avoid eating dry and difficult-to-swallow foods. For breastfed babies, make sure the breast milk is warm and not too cold.

If the baby is not energetic and wants to sleep, mothers need to create a good sleeping environment for the baby. When the baby is sleeping, the lights in the room should be dimmed to ensure that there is no noise affecting the baby's rest. The baby's hearing is very sensitive. Once there is noise affecting the baby's sleep, the baby's reaction will be obvious, and the baby may even cry constantly. In this way, the sleeping condition will deteriorate day by day.

Mothers must pay attention to indoor ventilation and make sure to add appropriate clothes to the baby to prevent the baby from developing cold symptoms. Colds and coughs are more troublesome for babies of this age. And when the baby is listless and always drowsy, mothers must feel distressed. The disease not only hurts the baby, but also hurts the hard-working mothers.
