What to do if your child coughs after eating ice cream

Ice cream is sweet, delicious, and thirst-quenching, and comes in a variety of flavors and shapes. In short, in real life, most people cannot resist the temptation of cool, delicious ice cream, especially children. Children are born to love food, especially ice cream. However, although ice cream is delicious, it contains too much sweetener and some substances that are not good for children's health. Eating too much is not good for the body. For example, what should you do if your child keeps coughing after eating ice cream?

It is generally seen in cases where the sensitivity of the respiratory tract increases due to stimulation by cold factors, thus causing an allergic cough. Such situations are generally unlikely to improve, and most people recover slowly on their own. It doesn't matter whether you take medicine or not. Of course, at most you can use some cough suppressants to improve the symptoms of coughing. If necessary, you can consider using anti-allergic drugs to suppress the cough reaction.

The ice cream that the baby has eaten is relatively cold food, which can easily irritate the throat, cause reflex coughing, and may cause blood vessels in the pharynx to constrict, and even cause a decrease in resistance and pharyngitis. Avoid eating cold, spicy and irritating foods, and pay attention to keeping warm, and feed your baby some warm water or warm juice appropriately. If necessary, check blood routine, return for follow-up at any time, and adjust the treatment plan.

Generally, if the baby's fever is below 38.5℃, no antipyretic treatment is needed, and physical cooling should be used; if the fever is above 38.5℃, appropriate drug antipyretic measures should be used. Warm water bath: Dip a towel in warm water that is not too hot to touch, and wipe the neck, armpits, and thighs for 5 to 10 minutes. You can also use commercially available "cooling patches" or apply a household ice pack on the forehead to help dissipate heat and reduce temperature. It is recommended to let the baby drink more warm boiled water. Urinating can also help reduce the temperature. You can let the child drink some of his favorite juice, beverages, etc. If necessary, take Paclitaxel, Tylenol, acetaminophen, etc.

Coughing is a manifestation of inflammation, which is mostly caused by factors such as getting angry and poor resistance. It is recommended to use children's loquat cough granules. Drink more water, avoid contact with crowded places, and pay attention to monitoring body temperature to avoid fever.
