What should I do if there is too much phlegm in my child's throat?

1, back-slapping method

When patting the back, parents can let the baby lie on your lap, let the baby bow his back, and pat the back with the hollow palm from bottom to top and from outside to inside. Don't pat the back too hard, at least 3-5 minutes at a time, 2-3 times a day. Pat on the back can not only loosen the sputum in children's lungs and bronchi, but also promote the circulation of heart, lungs and blood, which is beneficial to the absorption of bronchial inflammation and make the disease recover as soon as possible.

2. Keep warm

Infants and young children are more likely to catch a cold than adults because of their weak immunity, and induce respiratory diseases, such as tracheitis and bronchitis. Therefore, parents should take measures to keep warm and don't let the baby catch cold.

3. Drinking water method

Children who cough have higher water loss through the respiratory tract, and the airway is relatively short of water, which can aggravate the inflammation of the respiratory tract and the viscosity of secretions, making it difficult to cough. Let children drink plenty of water, especially the cold boiled water around 23℃, which has a good wetting and physical therapy effect on the throat. Drinking more cold boiled water can dilute the viscous secretion, and it is easy to cough up, which is conducive to relieving cough and resolving phlegm and eliminating local inflammation. At the same time, cold boiled water can also improve blood circulation, so that wastes or toxins produced by body metabolism can be quickly discharged from urine, thus reducing its irritation to respiratory tract.

4. Indoor ventilation

To keep the indoor air fresh, open the window regularly for ventilation. It is best to keep the indoor temperature at 18-22 degrees, but be careful not to let cold air blow directly on children. The relative humidity is kept at 60%-65%, and mopping the floor with a wet cloth can increase the indoor humidity, which is conducive to keeping the respiratory mucosa moist and the cilia on the mucosal surface swinging, and is conducive to expectoration.

5. Steam method

Hold the baby in the bathroom full of steam for 5 minutes. Humid air can dilute the sputum and help cough up. It can also reduce congestion and edema of trachea and bronchial mucosa and reduce cough.

6. Drug Law

Children should be very careful when using drugs, and can't take cough medicine casually, so as not to suppress the cough center and is not conducive to expectoration. They can take medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Parents can also make stewed pears in Chuanbei at home, so that children can eat pears and drink juice, which is also conducive to resolving phlegm and relieving cough.
