What to do if your baby has a runny nose, cough and phlegm

Nowadays, colds are no longer a unique disease. A baby's runny nose, cough and phlegm are a defensive action of the human body and a protective reflex.

1. Drink more boiled water. Boiled water can dilute mucus and make phlegm easier to cough out. In addition, boiled water can moisturize a dry and itchy throat.

2. Use a humidifier to increase the humidity in the baby's room. You can use a humidifier to increase the humidity in the baby's room, making the baby's room moist and refreshing, especially at night to help the baby breathe more smoothly. At the same time, clean the humidifier with white vinegar and water every day to avoid the accumulation of dust and germs.

3. Eat a light diet and avoid raw, cold and greasy food. During this stage, the baby's diet should be light, eat more fresh vegetables, and eat a small amount of lean meat or poultry eggs. Avoid greasy and fishy foods. Fruits are indispensable, but not too much. Do not eat oranges if you have a wind-heat cough. It is recommended not to eat sour foods because they have the effect of astringing phlegm and are not conducive to expectoration.

4. Give your baby some honey water. Honey can relieve cough and improve your baby’s sleep. It is even more effective than some cough syrups. Dark honey is more effective because it contains more antioxidants. You can give your baby half a teaspoon a day.
