Because of weak immunity the small children are more often subject to catarrhal diseases, one of symptoms of which is cough. But sometimes it drags on for long time and, causing attacks, disturbs a dream and rest of the kid. Moreover its duration can lead to complications with bronchial tubes and lungs therefore cough at children it is necessary to treat in due time and before its complete cessation.
It is required to you
- - mustard plasters;
- - cough syrup;
- - lollipops from fried sugar;
- - the vitaminized warm drinks;
- - potatoes or a cabbage leaf with honey for a compress.
Instruction
1. As cough is only manifestation of respiratory diseases, begin treatment with the main reason. For this purpose carry out medical prescriptions (if those are available). Independently you carry out to the kid thermal procedures and do them regularly for 2 weeks since cough is capable to remain still long time after recovery.
2. For treatment of cough, especially at small children, use more thermal procedures, than medicines. Legs of the child and a thorax especially need heat. Therefore on the kid constantly there have to be warm woolen socks and a jacket or a vest, and both in the afternoon, and at night (even if in the room warmly).
3. Do not use often protivokashlevy means as cough is only protective reaction. And with a phlegm it brings slime and pathogenic bacteria out of lungs and bronchial tubes. At a strong fit of coughing give to the kid lollipops from burned sugar or licorice syrup.
4. If the kid has no temperature, then during sleep (when the kid least of all moves) apply on gastrocnemius muscles and on the top part of a thorax the mustard plasters (packed into paper), and not moistened in water. So they will longer warm and will not deliver to the kid of unpleasant feelings. It is also good to put them in the evening before going to bed.
5. Alternate mustard plasters to the warming compresses – potato or cabbage. For a compress cook in a uniform one potato (to a razvarenny state). Hot quickly knead. Add to it three drops of iodine and a spoon of any vegetable oil. Wrap everything in a foil in the form of a flat rectangle. From that party which will be put to a breast pierce several holes in a foil. Further (depending on compress temperature) lay one or two layers of a diaper between a breast of the kid and a foil. Record cross-wise a usual diaper and cover the kid with a blanket.
6. Not less effective in treatment of cough with a phlegm is the compress from the cabbage leaf greased with honey. It has the warming and vitaminizing effect as honey contains almost all vitamin and mineral structure. However after this compress watch skin of the kid as on any product of beekeeping there can be an individual reaction. At emergence that refuse this procedure at once.
7. For fluidifying and an otkhozhdeniye of a phlegm give to the child warm milk with honey or without it, warm fruit drinks and compotes to which it is possible to add a little broth of a dogrose (let's drink drinks with a dogrose only from a tubule to prevent enamel destruction). If the child can give more than 3 years tea with a lemon. Any vitaminized warm drink has the diluting effect on a phlegm and promotes its otkhozhdeniye, as causes kashlevy a reflex. Include in a diet of the kid rather warm mashed potatoes with a large number of milk. This dish well helps with treatment of cough.
