Kapanlagi.com - When our baby has the flu, it will certainly make the mother confused about what to do because the baby cannot breathe properly. Sometimes, when the baby has phlegm in the throat, they will find it difficult to remove it. Therefore, as a mother, we must know effective ways to remove phlegm in babies when they are suffering from flu.
Phlegm is a mucus that comes out of the throat or respiratory tract when coughing. Phlegm itself has different colors and slightly thick and slimy texture.
When a child has difficulty in expelling phlegm, it will make it difficult for them to breathe and of course, cause shortness of breath. Therefore, here are some ways to remove phlegm for the little ones who are currently experiencing flu.

The first way to remove phlegm is by using hot steam. This method can be done for children who have difficulty breathing, so that thick phlegm can dissolve and relieve breathing difficulties in children.
The way to do it is to take a basin of hot water, then pour a few drops of eucalyptus oil into the water. Place the basin near the baby so that he can inhale the steam from the basin. Position the baby in a prone position with the head lower than the body.
You can pat the baby's back to help push the phlegm in the respiratory tract, so that the dissolved phlegm can come out easily.

To remove phlegm from the baby, you can sunbathe them under the morning sun. Besides being good for bone growth and providing vitamin D, sunbathing can also make phlegm become liquid. This will certainly make it easier for the child to remove the phlegm in their body.
The way to sunbathe the child under the morning sun is:
Sunbathe the baby under the sun between 7 and 8 in the morning for 10 minutes.
Apply telon oil on their chest and back. Then lay the baby on Mama's lap with their head slightly lower than their body, so that the thin phlegm can descend and come out of the throat.
Gently pat the baby's back to make the phlegm come out. If the phlegm does not come out through the throat, it will usually be swallowed and will be expelled along with dirt and urine.

When experiencing flu, babies may become restless because they cannot breathe properly. Therefore, you can give them warm hugs to calm them down and help loosen the phlegm due to the warm temperature it provides.
In addition to warm hugs, you can also dress them in warm clothes and apply telon oil on the baby. Also, make sure the room remains warm and free from dust.

And the last way to remove phlegm is by changing the baby's sleeping position to prone position. This position will make it easier for the baby to expel phlegm from their body. Here is a good way to change their sleeping position:
First, gently place the baby in a prone position and pat their back, especially when they are coughing.
By patting and placing them face down, it can help to expel phlegm that is stuck in the throat and respiratory tract of the baby.
Then, position the baby's head lower than their body and slightly elevate their body.
This position will help facilitate the flow of phlegm, allowing it to come out through the mouth or nose.
That is how you can remove phlegm in babies at home. However, if the baby's condition does not improve, it is advisable to consult a doctor immediately.
