January 20, 2010, previous treatment and effectiveness: Took some children's lung clearing syrup, gave the child more water daily. What kind of assistance is needed: Should...Doctor's answer:
Seek medical treatment to avoid worsening the condition. Simply taking expectorant syrup is not enough. It is best to take oral medication and antibiotics. If oral medication is ineffective, it is recommended to receive intravenous anti-inflammatory treatment, as intravenous drugs have higher blood concentrations and take effect faster and more effectively. For those with phlegm, you can try taking oral Sheng Zhu Li.Survival care: After a baby catches a cold, coughing is usually mild. In most cases, it is caused by upper respiratory tract infection, lung infection, or laryngeal mucosal inflammation, which leads to congestion and irritation of peripheral nerve receptors, causing coughing. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the following aspects when caring for the baby:
1. Drink small amounts of water frequently. The water temperature should not be too hot to avoid irritating the throat.
2. During severe coughing, it is best to hold the baby upright at a 45-degree angle and gently pat their back with your hand to help loosen secretions stuck in the trachea, making it easier to cough them out.
3. Maintain a consistent room temperature. Temperature and air quality are very important. The room temperature should ideally be kept between 20-26°C, with regular ventilation. The indoor humidity should be 50%-70%, which helps dissolve phlegm and facilitates coughing. Dry air can make phlegm stick to the tracheal walls, making it difficult to expel.
4. If coughing is severe at night, slightly elevate the pillow to reduce the impact of stomach acid reflux on the throat.
