Attention to the care of spring cough in young children
Drink plenty of water | More rest | Pat back | Raise your head
For a cough that is not too severe, some nursing work can be done appropriately to make the child comfortable:
Drink plenty of water
Drinking plenty of water not only prevents your child from dehydration, but also flushes dilute secretions. At the same time, drinking water can improve blood circulation, so that the waste or toxins produced by the body's metabolism are quickly excreted from the body, thereby reducing the stimulation of the respiratory tract.
Take more rest
Children need enough physical strength to fight off the virus. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a comfortable environment for the child to rest.
Raise your head
Raising your child's head with a towel or pillow can help him breathe more smoothly and can also reduce nasal discharge and drain backwards, causing itching in the throat and worsening cough.
Pat the back
Let your child sit up straight, hold your hand in an empty fist, and gently pat your child's chest and back (lung position) more vigorously than burp. This can help the secretions of the respiratory tract become loose and easier to be eliminated by the child.
For more severe coughs, it is still necessary to seek medical treatment in time and follow the doctor's advice.
Cough remedies should be used with caution
Spring cough is menacing, parents are impatient, in addition to taking medicine, but also everywhere looking for home remedies to cure diseases, roasted oranges, salt steamed oranges, garlic water, Sichuan shell steamed pears... A variety of folk remedies emerge in the circle of friends.
Some cough remedies do have certain basic pharmacological and health care effects, but the medical evidence of home remedies for the treatment of cough is insufficient, and can only be used as an adjunctive treatment, while some will aggravate the condition. Such as eating ginger tablets to suppress cough, ginger is spicy, slightly warm, for wind and heat cough may not play a cough suppressant effect, and even make the cough worse.
The key to treating cough is to dissolve sputum, and finding a way to drain diluted secretions is the goal. Therefore, parents also need to use cough drugs carefully, because forced medication may leave hidden dangers and delay the condition.
