Two months old baby has a cough

For two-month-old babies, their body resistance is relatively weak, and they have no awareness of keeping warm on their own, so parents should pay attention to adding clothes to keep their babies warm. However, if the baby is attacked by cold wind, it is easy to catch a cold. Parents of two-month-old babies should pay attention to some symptoms of their physical illness and seek timely treatment, but why do two-month-old babies cough?

Two month old baby coughing

If the baby's cough is caused by a cold, you need to take him to the hospital for examination. A two-month-old baby is too young. If he coughs, it is best to seek medical attention in time. Coughing is a very serious disease for a baby. If it is not treated in time, it can easily turn into pneumonia. The younger the baby, the weaker his resistance and the higher the chance of developing pneumonia, so seeking medical treatment is the best protection for him. If a two-month-old baby coughs, it should attract the attention of parents.

If the baby only has a dry cough occasionally, then it should not be a big problem. Parents can try to feed the baby more boiled water and pat the baby's back. At the same time, you should pay attention to keeping warm. Breastfeeding mothers should not eat too greasy or salty food, but should eat more light food.

Home care methods for two-month-old baby cough

Just taking medicine without care will not help your baby recover from the illness. Therefore, parents should realize the importance of home care.

After a baby catches a cold, he usually has a dry cough, which is mostly caused by upper respiratory tract infection, lung infection, and laryngeal mucosal inflammation leading to congestion and stimulation of peripheral nerve receptors and coughing. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the following aspects when caring for their children:

1. Drink water in small amounts and frequently. The water temperature should not be too hot to avoid irritating the pharynx.

2. When a baby coughs violently, it is best to hold him up so that his upper body is at a 45-degree angle, and pat the baby's back with your hands to loosen the secretions adhering to the trachea and facilitate coughing out;

3. Maintain air temperature. Temperature and cleanliness are very important. The room temperature should be kept at around 20℃-26℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity of 50%-70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it out. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and is difficult to be discharged;

4. If the baby coughs severely at night, you can slightly raise the pillow to reduce the irritation of the throat caused by gastroesophageal reflux.
