Many diseases may cause the baby to cough with phlegm, such as: cold, cold cough, and the baby will have white sputum; There are also wind-heat colds and coughs, and the baby will have yellow phlegm and so on. Of course, if the baby has pneumonia, there will be symptoms of cough and phlegm, but this is only one of the symptoms of the baby's pneumonia, which does not mean that the baby will have pneumonia as soon as he has cough and phlegm. Parents also need to judge whether their baby has pneumonia according to the following symptoms.

2 how to judge whether the baby coughs and expectoration is pneumonia? Parents should observe the baby's condition to see if the baby has the following characteristics besides coughing and phlegm:

1, see the common cold: the baby's breathing frequency is normal, and the nose is blocked occasionally.

Pneumonia: the baby will have cough, asthma, shortness of breath, shortness of breath, and some babies will even be accompanied by dyspnea, and dyspnea is mostly manifested as breath holding and purple lips.

A dangerous performance

(1) If it is found that infants under 2 months breathe ≥60 times/min, infants under 2 ~ 12 months breathe ≥50 times/min, and children under 5 years old breathe ≥40 times/min, it means that there is a possibility of pneumonia, so you should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment.

(2) When the baby inhales, there are depressions between the ribs, supraclavicular fossa and suprasternal fossa, which may be accompanied by symptoms such as flapping of the nose and cyanosis of the lips, indicating that pneumonia is serious.

2, body temperature common cold: occasionally fever, but generally a low fever, about 37.5 degrees.

Pneumonia: Most babies will have a high fever, above 38 degrees, lasting for several days.

3, listen to the common cold in the chest: the baby's chest breathing is normal, there is no purr.

Pneumonia: If parents listen to their baby's chest attentively, there will be gurgling sound, similar to purring sound. If they had a stethoscope, they would hear more clearly.

4, see the spirit of the common cold: although the baby's spirit is not as good as usual, but will also play, run, jump.

Pneumonia: the baby's mental state is obviously reduced, and there will be irritability, crying, fidgeting, or lethargy, occasionally accompanied by convulsions.

5, look at the diet common cold: the baby will still eat normally, but the food intake is reduced.

Pneumonia: the baby's diet is obviously less than usual, and he doesn't even eat, accompanied by crying, can't be quiet, and sometimes even holds his breath.

Choosing small cotton swabs is better than traditional cotton swabs. The nasal aspirator can also come in handy at this time.
