Why does my baby have a hoarse cough?

For young parents, the baby's weak resistance and frequent illness and coughing can be said to be the most troublesome thing. Many times, the baby will become hoarse due to coughing, which should attract the attention of parents. There are many reasons why babies cough, so parents should prescribe the right medicine and not delay the treatment. Below, the editor will introduce to you what to do if your baby coughs and has hoarse voice?

First of all, during the influenza epidemic season, children with fever, colds and coughs should have a longer course of illness. After diagnosis and treatment by the doctor, they should take medicine and receive care at home according to the doctor's instructions. Do not take your child to the hospital repeatedly because of a persistent fever, which increases the chance of repeated infection.

Second, in the early stages of a child's cold, when the condition is not serious, you can first give him some children's cold medicine; when the fever reaches above 38.5℃, take antipyretics in time, try to rest quietly, and drink plenty of water. When the condition worsens, you should go to the hospital for treatment in time. It is not advisable to handle it by yourself at this time, especially do not take adult medicines casually.

In addition, it is very important for parents to take good care of their children. If a child cannot sleep, there is no need to force him or her, he or she can sit and play. Children with vomiting and diarrhea should be given liquid food on the first day. For children with common fever and cough, they should eat delicious, light and nutritious food. In winter, they must be given hot food. Noodles and rice soup are good. Fever and sweating consume a lot of body fluids, so you should drink more water and juice, and eat more fruits. Do not bathe your child when he is sick, because bathing will increase blood circulation, which is not good for rest and will cause the child to catch a cold again. Children with a lot of phlegm will indeed increase their secretions after taking a bath, but this can only be done after a week of illness, when they have a slight cough in the morning, have a good appetite, can play, and have no fever. Then they can take a bath before going to bed. If you sleep well, you can wash it every other day.

Young parents must not ignore any minor illness of their baby. Seemingly minor symptoms may lead to serious illness. The baby's body is very fragile, and any minor illness can be fatal to them. Therefore, parents must pay attention. The above is today’s introduction to children’s coughing and hoarseness. I hope it can be of some help to parents.
