What should I do if my baby has phlegm in his throat? In addition to the wheezing of phlegm, you should also know about it…

Problem 1: The baby is about to be one month old in three days. When feeding, there is always a whistling sound in the throat, like snoring, but it is fine when sleeping. Dr. Luo Zhen’s answer: For the baby’s situation, especially when the baby makes a sound of phlegm in the throat while feeding, but has no other discomfort, it is considered that the laryngeal cartilage has softened. Many infants\’ laryngeal cartilage is relatively soft. As long as they are not severely choking or struggling to breathe, they do not need treatment and can continue to be observed. Generally, they will gradually improve after six months until they disappear. This has no effect on the baby, so don’t worry. In addition, the baby needs to be supplemented with 400 units of vitamin D every day until he is two years old. Question 2: My baby was tested for zinc deficiency today. I have Lysamine Glucose Granules and Zinc Gluconate Oral Liquid at home. Which zinc supplement is more effective? What should you eat to supplement zinc in your daily diet? Dr. Zhu Xiwei’s answer: It is recommended to take Lysine Glucose Granules for about 1-2 months. Children over one year old do not just need zinc supplements. They need balanced complementary foods and treatment. Do not let the children eat snacks and drinks. Seafood is best, including vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, and poultry. Children who are not picky eaters can easily lead to deficiencies in various trace elements. Question 3: My baby is fourteen days old. His neck is flooded and the skin is broken. I have been using talcum powder before but it has not improved. What should I do now? Dr. Cui Lixia’s answer: You cannot use powder. You can wash it with warm water, disinfect it with iodophor, dry it and apply Baiduobang ointment. Pay attention to skin hygiene at ordinary times, wash and dry it in the morning and evening, and do not use powder.
