Precautions for 4-year-old baby cough

It is quite stressful if a 4-year-old baby has a cough, because the child is in the stage of physical development and any disease will have an impact on their physical health. Therefore, for a 4-year-old baby with a cough, it is best to use some drug treatment methods to control it in time. Parents should touch their children's hands and feet to see if they are cold. If not, there is no need to be too nervous.

When parents find that their child is coughing, they should still touch the child's hands and feet first. If the hands and feet are cold and the tongue is white, they should boil water with two slices of ginger, half a spoonful of brown sugar, and 3 to 4 cloves of garlic and give it to the child to drink 2 to 3 times a day. When the child's hands and feet begin to feel hot, give the child a cup of warm water every half an hour. If the child feels bloated after drinking too much water, let the child eat a few bites of salty side dishes, the bloating will be relieved immediately. Continue to let the child drink water. Parents will soon see that as the child urinates more, the number of coughs decreases. Parents should still soak their children's feet in warm water at night until they sweat slightly, and let the children sleep more to recover their strength as soon as possible.

The next day, touch the child's hands and feet again. If the hands and feet are still cold, continue to treat it as above. If the child's hands and feet are already warm, just drink 1 to 2 times of ginger and brown sugar water to consolidate the condition. Make sure the child drinks more warm boiled water and has a light diet. Give the child more broth and chicken soup, and do not eat fish, shrimp, yam, or peppers. Slowly, the child will stop coughing. Alternatively, parents can make sesame oil and ginger fried eggs for their children before they go to bed at night. The method is as follows: put a small spoonful of sesame oil into a wok, add the ginger after the oil is hot, fry it in the oil for a while, then pour in an egg and stir well, feed it to the child while it is hot before the child goes to bed. Be careful not to scald the child. If you insist on eating it for a few days, the child's cough caused by cold will be significantly improved.

If the child's hands and feet do not become cold when coughing, but his face becomes red, his throat is swollen and sore, his urine is yellow and has a strong odor, and his eyes are red, parents should give the child plenty of light salt water to drink. This will not only eliminate internal heat but also relieve cough. At the same time, you can also boil pear water for your child to drink to moisten the lungs. Also, let your child rest early and eat a light diet, and the child's condition will soon be under control.

Regarding the situation of baby coughing introduced in the article, as parents, you should know how to protect our babies. When a 4-year-old baby has a cough, we should first touch the child's forehead and hands to check their physical condition before giving them medicine, so as to avoid causing greater impact on the child's health.
