There are some clever ways for parents to deal with children's cough

Asanas

If the baby coughs during the day, parents can pick up the baby, stroke the back and pat it gently.

At night, babies' coughs tend to get worse because secretions from the nose and sinuses flow into the throat when the child lies flat, causing an itchy throat. So you just need to put a pillow under your baby's head to raise his head, which can reduce the backward drainage of nasal secretions.

Hot Drink Method

Warm drinks can make the baby's sticky phlegm thinner, relieve the tension of the respiratory mucosa, promote the coughing up of phlegm, and relieve cough.

The best beverages to choose are warm boiled water, warm milk, rice soup, etc. You can also choose fresh fruit juice, but you should choose apple juice and pear juice with less irritation. It is not advisable to drink citrus juices such as orange juice and grapefruit juice.

Hot compress

Fill a hot water bottle with hot water at about 40℃, wrap it with a thin towel, and then apply it to the baby's back near the lungs. This can speed up the expulsion of cold and is especially effective for cough symptoms that appear in the early stages of colds.

Steam method

When the cough is severe, older children can inhale hot steam directly; or parents can hold their babies in a steam-filled bathroom for 5 minutes. The humid air can help clear mucus from the baby's lungs and calm the cough.
