What should I do if my baby still coughs after recovering from a cold?

We all know that once we catch a cold, we may have a cough. For some babies, some mothers will find that they continue to cough after they recover from a cold. In fact, when this happens, mothers do not need to worry too much. As long as there is appropriate treatment, the baby will not have too many problems. Next, the editor will tell all mothers how to treat your baby if he has recovered from a cold but is still coughing.

For children's cough, the key is to find the cause of the cough. Generally, mild and infrequent coughs help to expel sputum. After the sputum is expelled, the cough will often be relieved naturally, so there is no need to use cough suppressants. Severe and frequent coughs are very harmful to the body. For severe dry coughs, cough suppressants, such as codeine syrup, can be used for a short period of time to help relieve the cough. For children with coughs that have a lot of thick sputum that is difficult to cough up, cough suppressants and expectorants should be used, such as Expectorant and Tylenol Cold and Cough Syrup. At the same time, pay attention to ensure that the child has enough water intake to dilute the sputum and help with the excretion of sputum. If there are obvious signs of inflammation when coughing, such as fever, yellow and sticky sputum, and increased white blood cell count, antibiotics such as kanamycin and amoxicillin can be added. In addition, treatment should be based on the cause of the cough.

In addition, it is recommended to take children's acetaminophen granules, pinellia syrup and cefadroxil for adjustment treatment. At the same time, do not eat raw, cold, spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to keeping warm. You can eat fruits. It is recommended to drink cold granules such as Isatis root and Isatis indigotica. Also, if it is a bacterial infection, you may need to take antibiotics, such as amoxicillin.

In addition, you can enhance immunity through diet. Protein can be supplemented mainly by eating milk, fresh meat, and eggs. You should also develop good exercise and maintenance habits and maintain a good mood. Adequate sleep helps the body repair itself and enhances immunity.

The above is what the editor wants to share with all mothers about how to treat babies who still cough after recovering from a cold. I hope it will be helpful to all mothers. The editor reminds all mothers that since babies’ physical fitness is relatively poor, you must follow the doctor’s advice when taking medication. I also wish all babies have a healthy body.
