What to do if your four-month-old baby has asthma

Asthma is a disease that has a great impact on patients and is difficult to treat. Especially for baby asthma, if it is not treated in time, it will have a great impact on the baby's life. If a baby has an asthma attack, he or she will usually cough constantly. Parents must detect and treat it in time. The most common treatment is medication. So, what should we do if a four-month-old baby has asthma?

If your baby has asthma cough, you can use the following methods to relieve it:

1. Raise your baby's head at night: If your baby keeps coughing when falling asleep, you can raise his head, which will relieve the coughing symptoms. Elevating the head is helpful for most coughs caused by infections, because when lying flat, the secretions in the baby's nasal cavity can easily flow down the throat, causing throat itching and causing the cough to worsen at night. Elevating the head can reduce the backward drainage of secretions.

You should also change your sleeping position frequently, preferably alternating between the left and right sides, which is conducive to the discharge of respiratory secretions. Do not let a baby who is coughing lie down to sleep immediately after feeding to prevent spitting up and aspiration caused by coughing. If accidental aspiration and choking occur, you should immediately lower the baby's head to a low position with feet high, pat the baby's back gently, and encourage the baby to cough so as to cough out the inhaled material.

2. Steam cough relief method: Babies who keep coughing will have their symptoms relieved in an environment with a room temperature of around 20 degrees and a humidity of around 60-65%. If your baby has a severe cough, you can let him/her inhale steam; or hold your baby in a steam-filled bathroom for 5 minutes. The humid air can help clear mucus from the baby's lungs and calm the cough.
