How to Manage Excessive Secretions?

Managing excessive secretions involves identifying the underlying cause and providing appropriate treatment. Here are some common strategies:
- Hydration: Ensuring the child is adequately hydrated can help thin mucus, making it easier to expel.
- Medications: Depending on the cause, medications such as antihistamines, decongestants, or mucolytics may be prescribed.
- Environmental Control: Using humidifiers, avoiding allergens, and maintaining a clean environment can help reduce excessive secretions.
- Physical Therapy: Techniques like chest physiotherapy can help mobilize and clear mucus from the airways.
