He wants to cough but can't. What should I do?Previous treatment history and effectiveness: Just taken the medicine for two days. What help do you want: I want to know what else I should do to make the phlegm come up.
Doctor's answer:
Difficulty in expectorating in indoor environment: The room should be kept clean and tidy. Maintain a suitable temperature and humidity at all times.2. When severe coughing recurs, sit upright with the upper body elevated or place multiple towels under the blanket to make the child feel comfortable. Tap the back regularly; have the child lie on the bedside with their legs elevated, and gently pat their back to help expel phlegm.
3. When phlegm blocks the throat, give the child cool boiled water or juice in small, frequent amounts to help cool the blood. If coughing is accompanied by vomiting, choose easily digestible foods for the child to eat.
