2 / Warning signs when children cough
Babies with a cough accompanied by irritability and irritability are signs of a serious illness
When babies always feel sleepy and very irritable, that is one of the signs accompanying mothers to watch out for when they cough. Only when sick, does the baby have such actions. If the baby is always in a dream state, or does not stop crying despite comfort and comfort, the mother should immediately take the baby to the doctor for a visit.
3 / Never stop paying attention to the baby's breath
Watch for signs of breathing abnormalities, such as wheezing, difficulty breathing, or rapid breathing. In particular, mothers should observe the infant's chest frame while breathing. If your baby's ribs and chest are clearly visible when he inhales or exhales, you should call the doctor immediately. The alarm condition is similar to hearing a sound like a whistle when the baby is breathing, or a sound that breaks is not clear.
In addition, mothers can use the clock and count how much breath the baby is breathing in a 10-second period. Multiply that number by 6, and let your doctor know if every breath within a minute is significant?
Immediately call if the baby is breathing more than 60 breaths per minute or if the baby's mouth turns pale, pale.
4 / Does the baby have trouble feeding?
When coughing and sick, the baby becomes anorexia. However, mothers should not travel, instead should be especially strict, because if they do not drink, the baby will become severely dehydrated, making the condition worse. Over a 24-hour period, infants need 45 ml of fluid per body weight. This means that if your baby weighs 4.5kg, he / she needs about 445 ml of liquid per day, and a 9kg child needs 890ml of liquid / day. If the baby refuses to breastfeed for a few hours, notify the doctor immediately.
