What’s a good way to help children get rid of phlegm?

For parents, if their children have health problems, they will definitely be very anxious. The saying "whoever has their own child will feel sorry for him/her" is still very reasonable. For example, some children may be invaded by bacteria and viruses while playing outside, and as a result, they develop symptoms of cold and fever when they get home, and even have phlegm in their throats. So, what is a good way to remove phlegm from children?

First, Sichuan Fritillary Pear Soup

First, you can go to the pharmacy to buy some Fritillaria cirrhosa, and then buy a few white pears in the supermarket. After you get home, cut the white pears into pieces, grind the Fritillaria cirrhosa into powder, boil it with water and give it to your child to drink. If you feel that the taste is not very good, you can add some rock sugar or white sugar.

Second, garlic paste

You can first select 60 grams of garlic, chop it and set aside, then prepare 300 ml of cold boiled water, pour the garlic into the cold boiled water, soak it for ten hours, add an appropriate amount of white sugar, and then you can give it to your child, 15 ml at a time. Children under five years old can take half the amount and can eat it once every two hours.

Third, monk fruit tea

Luo Han Guo itself has the effect of removing phlegm and relieving cough, clearing the lungs and dissipating heat. You can boil water first, then add a little monk fruit. This method can effectively remove phlegm. In addition, you should pay more attention to your diet, eat light food, and avoid eating irritating foods such as chili peppers.

Pat the back

It can be used as an emergency measure to help children with expectoration when they are unable to cough up phlegm.

The specific operation is: in the intervals between the child's coughing, let the child lie on his side or hold the child up to lie on his side. The parent slightly bends the five fingers of one hand, makes a fist, and gently pats the child's back. Pat your left side and lie on your left side, alternating between the two sides. The force of the slapping should not be too great, and it should be done from top to bottom and from outside to inside, in sequence. Pat each side for at least 3-5 minutes, 2-3 times a day. The back-patting method can not only loosen the phlegm in the child's lungs and bronchi, drain it into the trachea and discharge it, but also promote blood circulation in the heart and lungs, which is beneficial to the absorption of bronchial inflammation and enables early recovery from the disease.
