Question

How should one manage coughing in a baby after feeding?

Answer

Babies primarily use diaphragmatic breathing, where the diaphragm is a part of the respiratory muscles. When the diaphragm contracts, it expands the chest cavity, triggering an inhalation; when it relaxes, the chest cavity’s volume decreases, causing exhalation. There are various causes of infant digestive diseases. If a child is diagnosed with a digestive problem, parents should cooperate with the doctor’s treatment, perform gastroenteric decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also avoid letting their child have a preference for certain foods and maintain a balanced diet.
