What makes a mother if her baby is coughing? Of course, it is taken for treatment.
To cure a cough, do not rush to the pharmacy for children Siropchik - they are not harmless because they contain in their consisting of colorants and fragrances, and kiddies up to six months (as well as first-trimester pregnant women), and all contraindicated.
In addition to cure cough, there are proven folk remedies. If after two or three days of their application no improvement (or you notice that the condition has deteriorated) is better to consult a doctor. And he has already been assigned to your child medication, depending on the age and type of cough. Remember, the smaller the child, the faster the likelihood that the infection can fall into the bronchi and lungs, and if you see that it becomes a serious turn, do not self-medicate.
What is a cough? To understand how the traditional methods, it is necessary to deal with what is happening in the body when the cough occurs. Cough, runny nose as well - is the body's protective properties, which is trying to get rid of harmful bacteria, coming together with mucus and phlegm. If the cough is dry, then sputum produced little or it is too viscous. In this case, our task - to make the mucus thinner and help the body to cough up the infection.
Inhalation.To thin out mucus exists simple folk method that recommends official medicine - (e.g., Borjomi Luzhanskaya, Glade Kvasova) inhalation alkaline mineral water without gas. Do it better with a special ultrasonic nebulizer inhaler, which is sold in pharmacies, and if you have children in the house, it has a sense to buy.
Breathe through spout or other vapor inhaler in this case is not the best idea - can burn airways. If the child is old enough, you can use the grandmother's method and breathe over the pot with boiled potatoes. As soon begins to cough sputum, the procedure should be stopped, because it will lead to the overproduction of the growth of bacteria.
Keep an eye on the humidity. Another useful instrument that should be in a home where there are children - a humidifier. Warm dry air desiccate the nasal mucosa and it reproduce bacteria which easily penetrate into the body. Therefore, take the following measures:
• Daily ventilation of the room, regardless of the weather outside;
• If the child has a high temperature, be sure to walk with him in the open air;
• Every day, do a wet cleaning in the child's room;
• Let the crumbs warm drinking plenty of fluids (this can be juices, fruit drinks, fruit drinks, herbal tea, or pharmacy electrolytes (eg, Regidron).
• Clean the nasal toddler salt solutions (eg, Humer, akvamaris).
Massotherapy. If you were able to thin out mucus and cough it becomes wet, it is necessary to contribute to rapid clearance of infection, along with mucus from the body. We suggest you to use such methods as a vibrating massage and drainage. This does not necessarily cause the house masseur doing massage therapy is very simple and can master this science, any mother. It will help to disperse the stagnation of mucus in the respiratory tract and bring it out of the body.
