Baby bronchitis snoring

Bronchitis is a disease with a relatively high incidence rate among babies. It is also a disease that can cause symptoms such as sore throat, snoring or coughing in children. If bronchitis is not treated in time, it will not only bring greater pain to the child, but also affect the baby's immunity and cause other diseases in the baby. Next, I will introduce to you the care and treatment methods of baby bronchitis.

1. Keep warm

Temperature changes, especially cold stimulation can reduce the local resistance of the bronchial mucosa and aggravate bronchitis. Therefore, parents should add or remove clothes for their children in time as the temperature changes, especially cover the children with quilts when they sleep to keep the body temperature above 36.5 degrees Celsius.

2. Feed more water

Children with bronchitis have varying degrees of fever and a large amount of water evaporation, so you should pay attention to feeding the children more water. It can be supplemented with sugar water or sugar and salt water, or with rice soup or egg soup. The diet is mainly semi-liquid to increase the water content in the body and meet the body's needs.

3. Adequate nutrition

When children suffer from bronchitis, they consume a lot of nutrients. In addition, fever and bacterial toxins affect gastrointestinal function and cause poor digestion and absorption. Therefore, nutritional deficiencies in the children's bodies cannot be ignored. In this regard, parents should adopt the method of small meals and frequent meals for their children, and provide them with light, nutritious, balanced and easily digestible semi-liquid or liquid diets, such as porridge, cooked noodles, egg custard, fresh vegetables, fruit juice, etc.

4. Turn over and pat your back

When the child coughs and expectorates, it indicates that the bronchial secretions have increased. In order to promote the smooth discharge of secretions, nebulizer inhalation can be used to help expectorate, 2-3 times a day, each time for 5-20 minutes. If it is an infant, in addition to patting the back, you should also help the child turn over once every 1-2 hours, so that the child remains in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the discharge of phlegm.

5. Reduce fever

Children with bronchitis usually have a low-to-moderate fever. If the body temperature is below 38.5 degrees Celsius, there is generally no need to give antipyretics. Treatment should focus on the cause of the disease to solve the problem fundamentally. If the body temperature is high, older children can be cooled physically, such as by applying a cold towel to the head or bathing with warm water. However, this method is not suitable for young children, and medication should be used to reduce the temperature if necessary.

6. Maintain a good family environment

The room where the child lives should be warm, well ventilated and lit, and the air should have a certain humidity to prevent excessive dryness. If there are smokers at home, it is best to quit smoking or go outdoors to smoke to prevent the adverse effects of smoke on the child.
