With the big temperature changes in spring, it is also easy to catch a cold and cough, so how should children cope with a cold and cough?
Proper massage can relieve coughing
Pat the back
Babies and toddlers can’t spit up, so they won’t cough up the phlegm and can only swallow it at most. Therefore, when your baby starts to cough, you can pick up your baby’s empty palm and pat the baby’s back, paying attention to the average various places when patting. If your baby coughs when you pat a certain area, focus on that area in order to expel phlegm and relieve the cough in time.
Foot massage
A more effective way to treat a cough is to rub the heart of the feet. To do this, rub each foot 30 times and then start massaging it, pressing an average of 20 to 40 times, with each toe on the left and right feet. When a baby has a cough or tonsillitis, the area on both sides of the root of the big toe on the top of the foot will be very painful, so massage is most effective here. After the massage, you should give your baby more warm water, or light salt water, you can also combine it with food therapy, the effect is better!
