The baby has phlegm, but can t cough it out, what can I do?

Most children do not have a very clear understanding of the action of coughing up phlegm when they are younger, so it is indeed difficult for them to cough up phlegm in their mouths. They don't know how hard they should use or what force they need to cough up phlegm. If the phlegm remains in the mouth, it will indeed be very uncomfortable, so parents must learn to pay attention to the following two aspects.

1.It is necessary to find out why the baby has so much phlegm

There must be a reason for the baby's throat to have phlegm, and in most cases, some diseases around us will cause phlegm in the mouth. The more typical is a cold and cough. There are a lot of people in life, before the cold comes, their earliest sign is that their throat will be very painful, and there will be a lot of phlegm.

After that, the cold came directly. So when your baby has phlegm in his mouth, it's probably because he's about to catch a cold. Of course, the specific situation needs to be judged according to some other characteristics of the child, and the best way is to take the child to the hospital for a check-up.

In this way, the risk of some diseases can be ruled out very well.

2.Parents should have a very correct posture when patting the baby to promote the coughing up of phlegm

Another point is that parents can also help their children cough up phlegm. The best of these is to gently place your child on your lap or lean on your shoulder and gently pat your child's back. Be sure to pay attention not to be too heavy, and adjust your strength according to the actual situation of the child.

The main reason for not being able to say is that there is inflammation in the body, and you can usually give your child more hot water.

When he coughs, you can gently pat him on the back with your empty palm and give him more warm water.

The baby is still relatively small, I don't know how to cough up the phlegm hard, and I will give the baby some phlegm and cough relief to drink, which can clear the heat and remove the phlegm. If you can't cough all the time, it is recommended to take your baby to the hospital to feel more at ease.

In this way, you have to find a doctor to solve the child, which is a professional problem, and you can't mess around.

You can give your baby some phlegm-reducing drugs, and you should also give your baby more warm water to drink, which will help relieve you.

When the baby has phlegm and can't cough it out, you can go to the hospital and ask the doctor to suck it out with a sputum aspirator.

The child's cough is often accompanied by sticky phlegm, which makes the throat gurgle, and it is impossible to cough up or swallow, and parents are always worried.

In fact, for the viscous sputum in the throat of infants and young children, in addition to giving the necessary anti-infection and symptomatic treatment, some simple and easy methods can also be used to obtain good results.

1. The indoor temperature and humidity should be kept at 18 22C, the relative humidity is 55% 65%, and the child should be given enough water at the same time, so that the phlegm in the throat will not be too viscous, and the sputum will be easily coughed up.

2. Cooperate with the selection of phlegm-reducing drugs to dilute the sputum, which is conducive to the discharge of sputum.

3. Turning over or patting the child's back frequently, on the one hand, can promote blood circulation in the lungs, and on the other hand, patting the back can loosen the sputum in the bronchi and make it easy to discharge. The correct method is as follows: the child should be placed in the lateral decubitus position or picked up to lie on the side, the five fingers of the parents are slightly bent into a semi-ring, that is, half clenched into a fist, and then gently pat the back of the sick child, the right side of the child should be slapped on the left side of the back, and the left side of the child, and vice versa.

Alternate on both sides. The percussion force should not be too large, from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, in turn. Pat for a few minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

4. For the thick sputum in the child's mouth, parents can sometimes wrap their fingers in clean gauze to gently remove the sputum in the deep part of the child's mouth and keep the airway open.

5. Let the child inhale hot and moist gases to thin the viscous sputum and help to expel it. For example, in the jug method, boiling water is poured into the can, and the child is allowed to keep his mouth and nose in the mouth of the can. Of course, be careful not to burn your child.

It doesn't matter, you can give the baby pears and rock sugar stewed water to drink, this phlegm effect is not bad. In addition, sometimes it is not phlegm, but the baby's nasal secretion, sometimes the baby's hiccups will be brought out, usually just feed the baby more water. Other than that.

It's okay for the baby to sleep on his stomach, as long as he doesn't cover his mouth and nose.

Children will not cough up phlegm, if it is very serious, you can use the lower suction, feed more water, give the child to eat Chuanbei pear water, loquat paste can dissolve phlegm.

Many parents will find that the baby's breathing is very deep, as if he is snoring, but the main reason is that the baby has phlegm in the throat. Babies are still young, the throat and lungs are not fully developed, and when air is inhaled, the mucous membranes of the nose and throat will be more sensitive.
