3. 3.When the newborn has phlegm in the throat, no one in the family should smoke, otherwise the smoke will choke on the baby's body and aggravate the baby's cough and produce more phlegm. Moreover, the home often opens the window to ventilate the sail or wild to ensure that the air is fresh, which is very good for relieving the baby's phlegm.

Precautions. If the baby coughs at the same time, accompanied by obvious inflammation, such as fever, shivering all over the body, yellow and sticky phlegm, etc., you should go to the doctor in time, and take medicine or water under the guidance of the doctor.

1. When the baby's throat has phlegm, the easiest way to do it is to pat the child on the back; On the one hand, it 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 easier to explode.

Pat for a few minutes each time, 2-3 times a day.

2 months baby throat phlegm, mother should properly feed the baby warm water, on the one hand, drinking water can moisten the throat to relieve throat discomfort, on the other hand, water can play a role in diluting phlegm, can help children cough up phlegm more easily.

3. When the baby has phlegm in his throat and can't cough it up, he can inhale it with the help of hot steam to make his viscous sputum thinner and help the sputum to drain out.

The specific method is: pour hot water into the cup, let the child inhale the mouth and nose against the mouth of the cup, the water is cold, and then change the boiling water, which lasts for about 15-20 minutes, and the phlegm will be coughed up more easily. Of course, be careful not to burn your child.

Parents can also put a humidifier in the child's room to moisten the air and help reduce phlegm.

For the baby has viscous sputum, just stuck in the throat, the baby's little face is red, affecting the child's breathing, the family should go to the hospital in time, ask the doctor for help, use the sputum aspirator, the accumulated sputum discharge, maintain the child's respiratory tract patency. This method of operation may cause discomfort to the baby and needs to be performed by a professional.

Hello. The child can be placed on his or her side or picked up between coughs. The parent bends the five fingers of one hand slightly, clenches them into an empty fist, and gently pats the child's back.

Shoot the left side to the left side of the lying room, alternating the sides. The force of the slap should not be too large, and it should be carried out from top to bottom, from the outside to the inside, in turn. Pat at least 3-5 minutes on each side, 2-3 times a day.

The back patting method can not only promote the loosening of the sputum in the lungs and bronchial tubes, drain and discharge to the atmospheric tube, but also promote the blood circulation of the heart and lungs, which is conducive to the absorption of bronchial inflammation and enables early recovery of the disease.

Do not take cough suppressants casually, so as not to suppress the cough center and not be conducive to expectoration. If the phlegm is less viscous and not easy to cough up, expectorant drugs such as ammonium chloride, bellflower, and Yuanzhi can be used under the guidance of a doctor; For those who have a lot of phlegm and mucosa that are difficult to cough out, use Bicoughping, phlegm easy to clean, -chymotrypsin, etc.; For those with white and sticky phlegm, it is advisable to use semi-summer dew, almond cough syrup, and ultrasonic nebulization inhalation when possible.

Good health,

When a child sleeps and hears a purring in his throat that seems to have phlegm, it indicates an increase in endobronchial secretions. Infants and young children do not cough up phlegm and swallow it through the pharynx.

To facilitate the smooth discharge of secretions, a nebulized inhaler can be used to help expelle expectorant 2 3 times a day for 5 to 20 minutes. If it is an infant or young child, in addition to patting the back, it should also be helped to turn over, once every 1 2 hours, so that the child can remain in a semi-recumbent position to facilitate the discharge of sputum.

Sometimes an appropriate amount of ipecac syrup is used, 2 15 drops each time for infants and 1 2 ml for older children, 4 to 6 times a day, so that the sputum can be easily coughed up. A 10% ammonium chloride solution has the same effect at a dose of each time. If it is more serious, it should be dispensed by the hospital for medical treatment.
