How to stop cough for three-month-old baby

Three-month-old babies have weak resistance and will have symptoms of cold and cough. There are many ways to relieve cough for three-month-old babies. First of all, you should keep the air fresh and let the baby drink more water. This can improve circulation, promote the elimination of metabolic products in the body, and has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm. This method is simple and easy, and the cough-relieving effect is quite good. Let us take a closer look at the specific methods for relieving cough for three-month-old babies.

1. Drink water reasonably, drink small amounts frequently. No matter what kind of cough it is, you should actively let your baby drink water, and don't wait until he is thirsty to think about drinking water. If a three-month-old baby drinks enough water, the sticky secretions can be diluted and coughed out more easily. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation and quickly excrete waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism, thereby reducing irritation to the respiratory tract.

2. Eat a light diet and avoid raw, cold and greasy food. The diet for babies with cough should be mainly light, with more fresh vegetables and a small amount of lean meat or poultry eggs. Avoid greasy and fishy foods. Fruits are indispensable, but not too much. Do not eat oranges if you have a wind-heat cough. Avoid sour foods as they have the effect of astringing phlegm and are not conducive to eliminating phlegm.

3. Keep the indoor air fresh. Open windows regularly to ventilate the home and keep the indoor temperature moderate, which helps keep the respiratory mucosa moist and the cilia on the mucosa surface vibrate, aids in the discharge of phlegm and is also a way to relieve cough.

4. Cold resistance training to enhance physical fitness. Starting from early autumn, wash your face with cold water, take a sponge bath, or let your skin come into close contact with fresh air regularly. There are different training methods, the key is perseverance. But you must be careful to strike a balance and not blindly "freeze" when a cold wave comes.

5. Focus on expectoration and use the medicine with caution. The respiratory system of children is not fully developed, and they cannot cough up phlegm as effectively as adults, so phlegm is easily retained. If cough suppressants are given as soon as a cough occurs, the cough will be stopped, but the suppressed cough will make it more difficult to expel phlegm, which will result in blockage of the respiratory tract, not only making the cough worse, but also making it easy to cause lung infection. Therefore, children's cough should be treated with expectorant in the early stages.
