Child cold expectoration

1, keeping the environment moist

Increase the indoor air humidity is extremely important and can be used to clean wet cloth wiped the floor can also use ultrasound or electric nebulizer, every 20 minutes, 3 to 4 times a day, so that indoor relative humidity maintained at 60% ~ 65%, so that respiratory mucosa can maintain a moist mucosal surface of cilia is conducive to swing and help expectoration. In addition, the daily timing window ventilation to keep indoor air fresh.

2, water expectoration

Let the child drink plenty of water, especially around 23 ℃ cold water, because water on the throat moist and have a good physical therapy role, is conducive to the elimination of local inflammation. After the child is ill, not only poor appetite, and generally will be accompanied by varying degrees of dehydration, thereby increasing the airway inflammation and secretions of consistency, multi-drink cold water not only helps to relieve a fever, but also humid respiratory tract, diluted sputum, so that easy-to-cough. In addition, the cold water can also improve blood circulation, so that the waste produced by metabolism or toxin rapidly excreted from the urine, thereby reducing the stimulation of the respiratory tract.

3, getting back expectoration

Burp expectoration method is usually the child does not cough up sputum when the emergency use.

To do that is: the child cough clearance, so that children or pick up the lateral side. First-hand fingers slightly bent, grip into the empty-handed punch, gently tap the child back. When making the left side of the left side, on both sides alternately. Beat back not only to encourage the child within the lungs and bronchial sputum loose, drainage, and discharges to large trachea, but also can promote the blood circulation of the heart and lungs are conducive to the absorption of inflammation, the disease can be cured as soon as possible.

Tip:

Rattling the power should not be too large to be from top to bottom, from outside to inside, in turn. Each side shot of at least 3 to 5 minutes, shooting 2 or 3 times a day.

4, steam expectoration

Namely the use of steam to help discharged respiratory sputum, this method is suitable for older children.

Pour the boiling water in a cup, pick up the child to mouth and nose facing the glass, rising water vapor as the child’s breathing was inhaled respiratory tract, to teach their children a deep, deep call, each sustainable for 20 minutes. Steam inhalation can trachea, bronchus and within the mucus-thinning benefit cough, but also to reduce congestion and edema of the respiratory tract mucosa is conducive to inflammation subsided and the discharge of phlegm. But we must be careful to avoid burns occurred.

5, drug expectoration

According to a doctor’s prescription, on time and taking Qutan or phlegm medicine. Common Qutan drugs brown mixture, will cough equality. Brown mixture containing ammonium chloride, can stimulate the gastric mucosa, to cause reflex secretion of bronchial mucous membrane, so that diluted sputum and easy to cough. Will cough sputum level of mucopolysaccharides can break down fibers and fracture, to reduce the viscosity, so that thinning sputum, easy to cough.

Chinese medicine also has a good phlegm effects, such as jujube powder monkey, such as Pinellia Lu. If the child fever, yellow and sticky phlegm, yellow greasy tongue coating, it is appropriate dates monkey loose; if no fever, sputum color white, tongue Bai Ni, it is appropriate Pinellia Lu.

Clinically, it can also be used to assist expectoration ultrasonic atomizing inhalation. Usually chymotrypsin, gentamicin and other drugs to the normal saline via nebulizer inhalation of respiratory tract after aerosol play a local anti-inflammatory and dilute the role of sputum, so easy to cough up sputum. Generally about 15 minutes each day, 2 or 3 times.

Friendly reminder:

Child bronchial narrow, without expectoration, inflammation prone to obstruction, causing shortness of breath. Therefore, young children generally do not have antitussives or tranquilizers, in particular the role of the strong codeine and the like should be used with caution, so as not to suppress cough reflex, affecting sticky sputum expectoration.
