Child coughs with white phlegm

Children's bodies are very different from those of adults, so when children have symptoms such as coughing and white sputum, the treatment plan adopted is also different from that for adults. Generally speaking, children's cough with white sputum is mostly related to catching a cold, so parents should pay attention to adding clothes to keep their children warm to avoid catching a cold again. Next, I will explain to parents the treatment plan for children's cough with white sputum.

When a baby coughs and has white phlegm, it generally means that the baby has a cold. If the baby has bronchitis, he will also cough and have white phlegm. When your baby is sleeping, usually let the baby's head be slightly elevated, which will help the baby breathe smoothly and rest well. If your baby does not have a fever, try not to use medication.

Parents should give their babies more boiled water, keep them warm, eat light and easily digestible food, and avoid greasy or irritating food, such as overly sweet, overly salty, and spicy food. If it is a cough caused by cold, you can boil some ginger + brown sugar + garlic for your baby to drink, and take some anti-inflammatory medicine if necessary. The treatment period for baby's cough is extremely long. If diet therapy can be applied, unexpected results will often be achieved. At the same time, the temperature, humidity and air concentration in the baby's bedroom should be appropriate, the baby's clothes and quilts should fit well, and attention should be paid to keeping the baby's abdomen warm.

It takes time for phlegm to disappear, so parents should provide good care on a regular basis. Families with the conditions can add a humidifier in the room, especially during the dry bath season and at night. If necessary, parents can give their baby medication for symptomatic treatment under the guidance of a doctor. If the symptoms are not relieved after three days of medication, you should go to the hospital for treatment again.

Babies' coughs often last for a long time without other complications. If you find that your baby coughs in the morning and vomits phlegm, and this condition lasts for more than three weeks, it is likely that the baby has tracheitis or allergic tracheitis.

Coughing with phlegm needs to be treated and handled differently. Different specific treatment drugs need to be selected in different situations. I hope patients can pay attention to this.
