The baby has a hoarse throat and a slight cough

Babies have relatively low resistance, so it is very common for them to be infected by viruses and develop colds and fevers. If a child has these diseases, he or she may have symptoms such as hoarseness of the throat and a mild cough. When facing these diseases, parents must take their children to see a doctor in time. If you cannot seek medical treatment in time, you can also alleviate the condition by replenishing water, stabilizing the child's emotions, medication, emergency measures and traditional Chinese medicine!

1. Stay hydrated

If a child has a hoarse cough, the first thing to do is to replenish water. Feed the child more boiled water to replenish the body's water, or give the child some fruit juice to drink, and eat more fresh vegetables to enhance the body's resistance. However, during this period, the child should not eat spicy and irritating foods, as they will easily aggravate the condition and worsen the cough. Also, let the child get a good rest and put the pillow higher when sleeping.

2. Stabilize children’s emotions

Secondly, it is necessary to stabilize the child's emotions. Because the child is still in the stage of physical development, his vocal organs have not yet fully recovered. If he is not emotionally excited at this time and likes to shout, cry, be naughty, etc., it is easy to cause inflammation of the vocal cords, resulting in hoarseness, so you should pay attention to the child's emotions.

3. Drug treatment

Drug treatment is also very important. If a child suddenly develops hoarseness while coughing, and it sounds like a dog barking or a chicken crowing, or even has difficulty breathing, then he or she is most likely suffering from acute laryngitis and needs to go to the hospital for treatment in time without delay.

4. Emergency measures

If the child has a hoarse voice, coughs with phlegm, snores, and has difficulty breathing, parents should stabilize the child's emotions, open windows to ensure ventilation, and feed him some warm water.

5. Traditional Chinese Medicine

Children's repeated coughing can easily lead to hoarseness. In addition to the above methods, Chinese medicine is also very important. For example, stewing snow pear water with rock sugar and boiling Sichuan Fritillary water for children to drink can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. In addition, Chinese medicine massage is also helpful for relieving cough and hoarseness. Therefore, with the combination of Chinese and Western medicine, plus daily care, I believe that the condition will improve soon.
