A one year old baby is babbling, and this is a time when babies are very prone to problems. Coughing, vomiting, and mucus is one of the most common problems for one year old babies. If you are the parent of a one year old baby, it is best to promptly identify the cause of this problem and take timely measures. This article will introduce what causes cough, vomiting, and mucus in a one year old baby.
What's wrong with a one year old baby coughing, vomiting, and mucus
If the baby coughs and spits, the mucus like substance is a normal phenomenon. In the middle and late stages of bronchial infection, phlegm will be expelled through coughing. But if the baby vomits and it's not caused by coughing, then they should go to the hospital for treatment.
The three major symptoms of bronchitis
1、 Sputum expectoration: most sputum is discharged in the morning, and the sputum is generally white mucus or serous foam, occasionally with blood. This is mostly due to slow cough reflex during nighttime sleep, accumulation of phlegm in the airway cavity, and stimulation of sputum discharge caused by changes in body position after waking up in the morning. When an acute attack is accompanied by bacterial infection, the sputum volume increases and the sputum becomes viscous or purulent.
2、 Cough: In the early stages, the cough is more severe in the morning and less severe during the day. In the late stages, it is also obvious at night. Before going to bed, there is often a sudden cough attack accompanied by coughing up phlegm. This is caused by congestion and edema of the bronchial mucosa, leading to the accumulation of secretions in the bronchial lumen. As the condition progresses, the cough persists throughout the year.
3、 Shortness of breath and wheezing: In the early stages of the disease, it is often not obvious. As the disease progresses and becomes complicated with obstructive emphysema, varying degrees of shortness of breath gradually appear, especially after physical activity. Patients with chronic bronchitis combined with asthma or so-called asthmatic chronic bronchitis often experience wheezing symptoms, especially during acute attacks, and are often accompanied by wheezing sounds.
