What to do if your child has a lot of yellow phlegm

The yellow sputum in children may be caused by inflammation, because sputum itself is to help the human body absorb bacteria. If a large number of bacteria suddenly appear in the human body due to inflammation, the amount of sputum will also suddenly increase. In this case, parents should urge their children to drink more water, take some phlegm-removing and fire-removing drugs, and promote body circulation and detoxification. So what should children do if they have a lot of yellow sputum?

If your baby has such symptoms, it is generally considered to be bronchitis infection or pneumonia. If it is only a mild infection, you can take anti-inflammatory drugs to treat the cough. If it is more serious, you still need to go to the hospital for examination and treatment.

Suggested actions

In the early stages of a cough, taking anti-inflammatory drugs can quickly stop the cough. If the child's cough symptoms are more obvious, it is still necessary to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment, so that recovery can be faster.

Precautions

Usually, you should pay more attention to replenishing your children's water and let them drink more water, which can also help with colds. Don't let your children catch cold, as it can easily cause severe coughing.

If a child has yellow phlegm and coughs, this may be caused by lung heat or wind-heat cold. In this case, you should actively take children's lung heat cough and asthma oral solution, Ma Xing cough syrup, and other heat-clearing and anti-inflammatory drugs such as compound honeysuckle granules or houttuynia cordata granules for treatment. In addition, you can eat more Chinese medicines that nourish yin and moisten dryness, such as Ophiopogon japonicus, Fritillaria cirrhosa, Astragalus membranaceus, Forsythia suspensa, and Isatis indigotica. You can also use more rock sugar, pear, and honey to boil water for drinking, which can also moisten the lungs and relieve cough. You also need to keep the room clean and cool, and not too hot or stuffy. In terms of diet, drink more water, eat more light and easy-to-digest food, and avoid eating overly sweet, greasy, or irritating food. This will help recover from the disease as soon as possible.
