What are the methods to relieve infant cough?

When a baby has a problem with his body, you cannot choose medication for treatment at will. At this time, parents should first let the baby undergo a physical examination, so that they can have some understanding of the baby's physical condition and know how to proceed during treatment. There are many methods to relieve baby's cough. When relieving baby's cough, you must first understand these methods. So what are the methods to relieve baby's cough? The following is a detailed introduction.

Baby cough relief method:

When dry cough persists, use hot air fumigation

For babies with persistent dry coughs, you can prepare a cup of steaming hot water and place it under the baby's nose to let the hot steam fumigate the baby. In this way, the entire respiratory tract from the nose, mouth to the throat can be exposed to the hot air and become moist. Babies' coughs are sometimes caused by dry and irritated respiratory tracts. As long as they are kept moist, the condition will improve and the frequency of coughing will be reduced. In order to prevent hot water from scalding, babies can try the following methods, which can also achieve the same effect:

1. You can dip a towel in hot water, wring it slightly, and place the warm towel on the baby's mouth and nose to fumigate.

2. You can also hold your baby and stay in the steamy bathroom for 5 minutes.

3. Turn on the humidifier and place the baby closer to the steam. Keep the humidifier on at home and maintain the indoor humidity at 60%-65%, and your baby's symptoms will be relieved.

If he keeps coughing while sleeping, you can help him raise his upper body.

When a baby suffers from pneumonia or tracheitis, he will have phlegm in his throat and sometimes wheeze, and will cough uncontrollably as soon as he lies down at night. This is because when the baby lies flat, respiratory secretions cannot be discharged smoothly, causing the cough to worsen at night.

At this time, you can raise the baby's upper body, for example, use bedding to make a slope and let the baby lie on it. Raising your head can reduce the backward drainage of nasal secretions and reduce the frequency of coughing. Moms, it’s not just about raising the pillow, but the entire upper body. If the baby keeps coughing up phlegm, it is best to let the baby lie on his side to facilitate the discharge of respiratory secretions and avoid choking or suffocation.

After understanding the methods of suppressing infant cough, you can use them with confidence. However, when the baby is coughing, parents need to pay attention to let the child stand up and not let the child lie down and cough, as this will cause great harm to the child's body and induce tracheal and lung problems in the child.
