What to do if your child keeps coughing

In autumn and winter, because the weather is cold, colds and fevers are more common. Because children are relatively young and their ability to adapt to the outside world is not particularly strong, any slight mistake may cause them to become sick. In this season, the most common symptom of a cold is cough. Many parents also get worried when they see their children coughing painfully. Today I will introduce to you several methods to treat children's recurrent coughing.

1. Mothers should pay attention that no matter what kind of cough the child has, they must let the child drink more water, because drinking water helps metabolism and can moisturize the respiratory tract. But it should be noted that the water must be warm, so as to reduce the irritation to the respiratory tract. You can also give your child warm ginger and brown sugar water. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic to the ginger and brown sugar water and cook them together. This can relieve your child's cough.

2. If your child keeps coughing and sputum, you can give him some antibiotics, cough suppressants or a small injection to stop the cough. Mothers should also adjust their children's diet and give them light and easily digestible food. They can also eat more pears, which is also very good for relieving cough and reducing phlegm. It is also very beneficial to give children some water stewed with pears and rock sugar, which has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, and is also quite effective in treating cough problems. You can also give your child some water with water chestnuts, which is effective in clearing lung heat, promoting fluid production, moistening the lungs and reducing phlegm.

3. The method of applying a hot water bag to the back to relieve cough is also very effective. This method is very simple to operate. The mother should first prepare some hot water of about 40 degrees Celsius, then fill the hot water bag with it, and then wrap the hot water bag with a thin towel and apply it to the baby's back near the lungs. This can accelerate the dispelling of cold and can play a very effective role in relieving cough.

The above is the answer to the question of what to do if children cough and have a lot of phlegm. I hope it can solve your question. If you want to relieve your child's cough and phlegm symptoms, you can try the methods introduced above, which are all relatively effective. However, if the child's cough lasts for a long time and does not get better, then you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
