1.You can often turn over or pat your child on the back to promote blood circulation in the lungs and loosen the sputum in the bronchi and make it easier to drain. But it should be noted that there is also a way to pat the back, and you can't shoot randomly.

2.Because your baby is too small, if there is inflammation, you should seek medical attention in time, and do not self-medicate. Don't start taking medication as soon as you have a cough, as this may lead to more serious problems.

3.When the baby coughs, it will not be very comfortable, so the mother should take the baby to a regular medical institution in time. Because the baby's age is still relatively young, it is recommended that the baby should be able to go to the hospital in time to receive a regular **.

Precautions. The above is the introduction of how to deal with the cough of the 2-month-old baby, because the baby's age is relatively young, so it is not possible to give the baby indiscriminately taking drugs, and it is best to take the baby to the hospital for timely help.

1. During upper respiratory tract infection, the nasal mucosa of children has become inflamed, and if dry air is inhaled, it will make the nasal cavity more uncomfortable and aggravate the cough. So, to keep the air in your room moist, you can increase the humidity of the air by using a humidifier, hanging wet towels, mopping the floor with water, or placing a basin of water in the room.

2. When the child coughs so badly that he can't breathe, pick him up and gently pat his back a few times, or let the child lift his upper body and sit up, which will make the child feel more comfortable and reduce the cough symptoms.

3. In order to avoid coughing when children sleep at night, let them take the lateral decubitus position, and it is best to pad the head or upper body with a towel and pillow slightly higher, so as to avoid respiratory secretions from refluxing into the trachea and causing cough and affecting sleep, which can also make children feel more comfortable and relieve dyspnea.

4. When the child has a severe cough, it is not advisable to play too tired, otherwise it will aggravate the cough. Moreover, pay attention to keeping the child's body warm, especially the soles of the feet and the top of the head, so as not to reflexively reduce the resistance of the respiratory tract. However, do not let your child's body overheat, as it is more likely to cause coughing when clothes are soaked with sweat.

The baby is still too young to take medicine, so it's best to go to the hospital to see! But I have a suggestion! Use oranges or pears, add an appropriate amount of honey or rock sugar and steam for 6-8 minutes, so that the baby can drink the juice. Give it a try! Live your baby soon**!
