Patient's question:
Hello, I would like to ask a few questions about whether I can use my mouth to suck the baby's snot. Will it interfere with his brain? Will he never have a stuffy nose after I help him suck out the snot? Is it true that there is snot before there is phlegm? What methods are there to get rid of phlegm in children?Previous medical treatment and effectiveness: The doctor at the hospital said it was caused by a fever.
The kind of help you are looking for: Hello, can the baby's snot be sucked? Will it interfere with the brain? How to get rid of phlegm in children's mouths.
Doctor's answer:
If the baby has a runny nose, you can use your mouth to help suck out the mucus. If there is phlegm, you can use expectorants.Recommendation: Expectorants can be used under the guidance of a doctor, such as ammonium chloride, Platycodon, and Polygala. For those with excessive phlegm that is difficult to cough up, you can use Bicopen, Amiloride, and α-chymotrypsin. For white, sticky phlegm, it is advisable to use Pinellia Rhizome Extract, Apricot Kernel Clear Lung Syrup, and, if possible, use magnetic resonance atomization inhalation.
The traditional Chinese medicine, "Fritillaria and Pear Soup," can also help to expel phlegm and relieve coughing. Peel 1 pear, cut off the top as a lid, and hollow out the core. Place 10 grams of rock sugar and 6 grams of Fritillaria root powder inside, cover the pear with the lid, and steam it in a bowl until soft. Eat the pear and drink the juice.
It is important to maintain fresh air in the room at all times. Open the windows regularly to ventilate the space. Encourage the baby to drink plenty of water, especially cool boiled water at around 23°C, which provides good moisture and physical treatment for the throat, helping to thoroughly eliminate local inflammation.
