I have phlegm in my throat. Is there any good way to help resolve phlegm?

Cough and expectoration, people cough more or less when they have a cold, and there is also a lot of phlegm. Some people cough up easily, while others are hard to cough up. Why is this?

Phlegm is a physiological or pathological secretion of lower laryngeal respiratory tract. The airway mucosa produces 50 ~ 100 ml secretion every day to keep the respiratory tract moist.

Suffering from various respiratory diseases, it is very prone to cough and excessive phlegm. Many patients have difficulty in discharging phlegm when it is sticky. Sputum stays in trachea and lungs, which will promote bacterial reproduction in respiratory tract and aggravate inflammation; Phlegm with high viscosity blocks the bronchus, which will affect breathing, lead to difficulty in breathing due to hypoxia and aggravate the condition; Chronic bronchitis, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, emphysema and other phenomena often occur in Nehe River, so it is necessary to learn to expel phlegm correctly.

Patients should fully replenish water, drink water frequently, keep the liquid intake of 1500 ~ 2000ml per day, and then increase the indoor humidity, especially in winter and spring when the climate is dry, and pay attention to keeping the indoor humidity not lower than 60%.

Usually, you can also try to get out of bed with normal saline and expectorant; If there is infection, corresponding anti-infection treatment should be carried out according to the doctor's advice. It is also necessary to learn the correct cough method, gather the gas into the field sheet, and use the strength of abdominal muscles and diaphragm to breathe the gas quickly, all of which are helpful for expectoration. In addition, patients can also be treated by postural drainage, turning over, tapping and expectoration! Do wet, turn, pat, cough and medicine at five o'clock.

When patients take medicine, they must consult a doctor in detail and use expectorant and antitussive drugs under the guidance of a doctor. Never use them blindly. Only the correct treatment can better and faster alleviate the symptoms of cough and phlegm, and further control the disease!

This is a good question. Most mothers who come to consult me usually ask when their children cough: how to stop coughing, and few mothers ask: how to eliminate phlegm.

For a cough that does not affect eating and sleeping, it is generally not necessary to stop coughing. Because coughing means that our respiratory system is working, we can get rid of phlegm that irritates the respiratory tract. Cough is the best expectorant method and the best cough relieving method.

And what exactly is phlegm?

Sputum is mainly the excessive secretion produced by bronchial mucus glands and goblet cells when foreign species (including pathogens and dust) stimulate the respiratory tract.

Cough is the most effective and best way to expel phlegm, but sometimes medicine is needed when phlegm is sticky and cough still doesn't work.

The main functions of drugs are: making sputum thinner, reducing viscosity and easy to cough up, or accelerating the cilia swing of respiratory mucosa and improving the function of expectoration.

Mainly divided into three categories:

1, which makes the sputum thinner and reduces the viscosity, mainly ammonium chloride, acetylcysteine and myrtle.

2, regulating secretion, mainly regulating the secretion of serous glands of goblet cells, restoring the normal proportion of airway mucus and reducing sputum. There are mainly ambroxol hydrochloride (commonly used expectorant for infants), bromhexine and myrtle.

3, directly promote sputum excretion, stimulate cilia swing, accelerate mucus operation, mainly Myrtle.

If it is not sputum, it is suggested that sputum can be discharged by coughing in the respiratory tract and accelerating ciliary movement. However, if we cough too much, it may hurt our throats. We can wash warm water with 8 ml of honey every day. After drinking, it can make phlegm thinner and cough up more easily.

We should also pay attention to the humidity in the air. If there is not enough air conditioning or warm air at home, it is recommended to use a humidifier.

When there is phlegm, it can also be smoked with hot water steam, which also helps to cough up phlegm.

Garlic water (five pieces of garlic with a small bowl of water and some rock sugar, steamed for 20 minutes, drinking water) is also very effective for coughing and expectoration.

What other tricks do you have about expectoration?

Hello, parents often ask, why do you always feel that there is phlegm in your baby's throat, but you don't cough or can't cough it out?

The common causes of increased sputum are rhinitis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, bronchitis and pneumonia. The main symptoms are respiratory murmur, difficulty in breastfeeding, shortness of breath, chest fluctuation and cough. So how should parents help their baby to expectorate correctly?

The best expectoration time is 30-60 minutes before drinking milk or 2 hours after drinking milk. Every shot 10~ 15 minutes, 4-6 times a day. Cough helps to clear the sputum in the respiratory tract, so when the baby coughs with phlegm, don't rush to use cough medicine, pay attention to replenish more water. Be sure to pay attention to the empty palm when patting the back. When shooting, as long as the direction is the same, you should shoot from the bottom up.

If the baby has phlegm when coughing, it means that the baby has problems with the spleen and stomach in addition to the disorder of the lung system.

In the view of TCM, spleen deficiency leads to dampness, and dampness is transformed into phlegm, so spleen is a device for producing phlegm and lung is a device for storing phlegm. Once you cough with phlegm, in addition to continuing to spread the lung and relieve cough, you should also use many methods to strengthen the spleen and resolve phlegm.

201Mar. 7, 9 Professor Yang Xiao teaches massage for children.

First of all, talk about how phlegm is formed. Sputum is the secretion of human respiratory tract. Under normal circumstances, there are cilia in the bronchi, just like a small brush to sweep out the secretions in the lungs, and then expel the sputum by coughing. Normal people have little phlegm, just to keep the respiratory tract moist. However, when people inhale irritating gases, dust, bacteria, viruses and other harmful microorganisms, respiratory secretions increase, the amount of sputum increases, and the nature of sputum will change from thin to sticky.

Then, let me talk about the method of expectoration.

1, cough. Suitable for conscious patients who can cough. Many people think that relieving cough is the best treatment, but they don't know that cough is a self-protection mechanism, which aims at expelling phlegm and will naturally relieve cough. How to cough effectively? Take a seat, put your feet on the ground, hold your abdomen with your hands around the pillow (to promote the rise of diaphragm), lean forward when coughing, bend your head and neck, and cough with your mouth open to expel phlegm. Conducive to the discharge of secretions at the distal end of the airway.

2, posture drainage: the head is in a low position, and the secretions in the lungs and bronchi are excreted by gravity, also known as gravity drainage. Suitable for emphysema, bronchiectasis, etc. When there is too much phlegm and the discharge is not smooth; Respiratory insufficiency and obvious dyspnea are prohibited.

3, sputum suction: use the negative pressure suction of sputum aspirator to suck out secretions in the respiratory tract. Suitable for people who can't cough up phlegm, are unconscious or have difficulty in expectoration. Sputum aspiration needs to be carried out in the hospital under the condition of strict sterility.

4. Humidification atomization therapy: Humidification atomization inhalation therapy can moisten the airway and dilute the sputum, which is beneficial to the discharge of sputum. This method is suitable for patients with sticky sputum and difficulty in expectoration, and it has little side effects and quick effect when administered through the airway.

5, pat back method: used for long-term weakness, long-term bed rest, no phlegm; The patient was lying on his side, with his knuckles slightly bent and his hands cupped. He beat the chest wall from the bottom of the lung from outside to inside and from bottom to top, shaking the air, encouraging patients to cough while patting, so as to facilitate the discharge of sputum. It is forbidden to have unvented pneumothorax, rib fracture, pathological fracture history, hemoptysis, hypotension and pulmonary edema.

Of course, according to your specific situation, choose the method that suits you. Drink plenty of water, avoid eating greasy food, strengthen exercise, enhance physical fitness, and cooperate with some expectorants. I believe that the symptoms of cough and expectoration will be relieved soon!

I have phlegm in my throat. Is there any good way to help resolve phlegm? Some patients have too much phlegm to discharge. Such patients can take some Chinese patent medicines, such as cough-relieving and phlegm-resolving syrup and honey pills, to help clear away lung heat and phlegm. For patients who fail to take medicine, there are basically humidifiers at home, which can be used for smoking. Fill the humidifier with warm water, drop one or two drops of essential oil and smoke at night. On the one hand, aerosol can moisten the airway and dilute the sputum, on the other hand, it can promote the local absorption of drugs and achieve the therapeutic effect of killing two birds with one stone. It can also strengthen blood circulation and has the effect of detoxification. Detoxification and sterilization can penetrate deep into subcutaneous tissue and remove nasal dirt and lung qi.

Babies have weak resistance and are prone to illness, especially respiratory infections. Once the baby is infected with respiratory diseases, it is often accompanied by symptoms such as cough and phlegm in the throat. The baby is too young to expectorate. If the sputum is not discharged in time, it will affect the baby's condition. Here are a few tips that can make your baby expectorate easily, so mom and dad can refer to them appropriately.

First, keep the room ventilated.

Pay attention to the air circulation in the baby's room to ensure the air is fresh. Appropriate window ventilation. The indoor temperature is controlled at about 20 degrees and the relative humidity is controlled at 60%.

Second, let the baby cry and expectorate.

When the baby wakes up in the morning, there will be a lot of phlegm in his throat one night. When he wakes up, the baby sometimes cries. Parents can make their babies cry or they can make them cry. When the baby cries, the sputum in the trachea will be forcibly discharged.

Third, drinking warm boiled water and cold boiled water helps to dilute sputum.

When the baby has phlegm in his throat, he should drink more than 20 degrees of cold and warm boiled water during the day, which can help dilute the phlegm in his throat and help the baby cough up the phlegm in his trachea.

Fourth, pat back method

Here, parents can be taught a simple back pat method, which can help the baby to excrete phlegm smoothly. One way is to pat the baby on the back to help him expectorate, that is, put your fingers together to make the palm sag, and then let the baby lie on his side, or sit or lie on his mother's lap, or be held by his parents. Pat your baby's back with a hollow palm from top to bottom and from outside to inside. When you pat it, you can feel a slight vibration. If you pat it repeatedly for three minutes and pat it three times a day, you can help your baby expectorate.

Tips: The baby's correct back patting posture.

It's best to hold the baby straight when patting the back. The hand patting the back should be slightly curled up to form a hollow shape, so that the baby will not feel very painful and the vibration effect will be better.

When patting the back, you should pat both lungs, and the lungs should pat up, down, left and right. In other words, every part of the baby's chest should not be missed. It should be taken about three to five times a day. At the same time, because of posture, the baby's back and lower lungs are more prone to hydrops, so these parts should be re-photographed.

Some parents are afraid of their children's pain and dare not work hard. When shooting, they are careful and understated, and it is difficult to shoot an effective back. In fact, when the back posture is correct, it won't hurt the baby. On the contrary, the baby likes his parents to communicate with him physically in this way. Therefore, young parents don't have to worry about hurting their babies.

The baby will not cough up phlegm, and the sputum taken is also swallowed, but it is not for nothing. After filming, the sputum passed from the respiratory tract to the digestive tract, and foreign bodies and excessive liquid in the lungs were removed, which was beneficial to the elimination of respiratory inflammation. There are many digestive enzymes in the digestive tract, which can digest and remove these foreign bodies and excess liquids, and their harm to the human body will disappear.

If the baby has phlegm in his throat, you can also go to the pharmacy to buy a home sputum aspirator and use it to help the baby discharge phlegm. This method may make the baby uncomfortable, so be careful not to hurt the baby when using it.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) steam method
