What to do if your baby coughs

All parents know that when a baby is sick it is the most difficult to deal with because the child is too young to speak. So sometimes it is difficult to know the cause of the disease, which brings great trouble to treatment. Infant coughing is a very common symptom. There are many reasons that may cause infants to cough incessantly. Let’s talk about what parents should do when their babies cough. First of all, parents should analyze the reasons why the baby coughs.

For example, influenza, common cold, cold air stimulation, allergic cough or foreign objects in the trachea may cause children to cough. Parents must find the cause so that they can prescribe the right remedy and take targeted measures. If the cough is caused by influenza, and the baby often has high fever and excessive sputum, then parents should take the child to the hospital immediately and never take any medicine on their own.

If a foreign object is inhaled into the trachea, causing the baby to cough, the child will have difficulty breathing and his lips will turn purple. Parents must take the child to the hospital immediately, otherwise the child's life may be in danger. If the child's cough is caused by a common cold or stimulation from cold air, parents can handle it on their own. Here are a few methods: boil more pear juice and ginger soup for the child, and let the child drink more warm water.

When your baby is sleeping, you can also raise his head to promote his breathing. It is particularly important to emphasize that no matter what the reason for the baby's cough, parents should not give the child adult cold medicine, let alone use antibiotics. In addition, your baby's daily exercise should be strengthened, and he should exercise outdoors more often, especially in colder weather.

In this way, the baby's physique will be strengthened and the respiratory tract will not be so sensitive to the stimulation of cold air. During the pollen season, try to stay away from these particles to avoid allergic coughs. Parents should try to place foreign objects that children can eat out of their reach to prevent them from inhaling them into their trachea out of curiosity.
