The role, usage, and precautions of the cough patch

When you raise a child, you come to know about something called a cough patch.

For those who may not know, the cough patch is called Hukunarin Patch, which alleviates respiratory symptoms by bronchodilation.

This is a helpful patch. Children receive a prescription when they have severe colds or symptoms of pneumonia.

 

 

Then, how should I attach this?

The pharmacy advises that it can be applied to the back or chest.

First-time moms who receive this for the first time feel confused.

Where is the back??? Where is the chest???

Where is the best place to put the cough patch?

 

 

The answer doesn't matter anywhere!!

 

It doesn't matter whether it's the chest, back, arms, or skin.

The important point to note is that it should not be attached to the heart area, but rather to a location higher than the heart.

I didn't know about that.

 

Babies are usually recommended to have it attached to their back where their hands can't reach.

I'm curious, so I keep trying to peel it off. Haha

 

 

Then, when is the right time to apply it?

Usually, children who are prescribed this kind of patch have severe coughing before bed, making it difficult for them to sleep.

I recommend applying it 2-3 hours before bedtime.

After dinner, take a shower, dry the area well, and then apply the bandage.

It comes off easily when it is moist.

 

 

 

This patch can be used one sheet per day, for 24 hours.

Caution: It may cause itching.

Since it's a patch, if you apply it directly to bare skin, it may cause itching.

There may also be palpitations or hand tremors.

 

 

I also had the hospital prescribe this and tried sticking it on my child, but...

Not completely... I didn't sleep well without coughing, but...

There was some help.

 

Instead, I regret that I didn't get to hear in detail about the methods of attaching those and the precautions to take.

 

If there are any first-time moms, I hope my post was helpful. ^^
