Usually, if a baby coughs, there may be coughing up phlegm in the later stages, and the discharge of phlegm is also a way for the baby to eliminate toxins from the body. But some babies may not cough up phlegm even after experiencing cough symptoms, which can cause concern for parents. So, what if the baby coughs without phlegm?
If a baby coughs without phlegm, it belongs to dry cough. To address this symptom, some cough suppressants can be given to the baby. Not only that, parents also need to analyze the specific causes of their baby's cough based on the duration of the cough and the accompanying symptoms, and then treat it accordingly.
Most babies experience dry cough due to discomfort caused by inflammation in the body. However, coughing in babies is also a protective behavior of the body. By coughing, waste in the respiratory tract can be expelled from the body, allowing babies to keep their respiratory tract clean and beneficial to their physical health. Therefore, parents do not need to blindly use cough suppressants for babies with mild cough.
If a baby only coughs without phlegm, it will have a certain impact on their health. You can take your baby through routine abdominal testing or choose to use X-ray testing to promptly diagnose the cause of your baby's cough, avoid delaying and causing obvious coughing or physical discomfort, and prevent the occurrence of serious complications.
