Is dietary therapy effective for baby’s cold? Four dietary treatments for baby colds

Because babies are in the early stages of development, their body functions are not yet fully developed, so their body resistance is relatively poor. Therefore, colds are also a common disease for babies. When a baby catches a cold, he needs to seek medical attention immediately. In addition, he can also use the following four foods for dietary therapy: radish and ginger juice, burdock root porridge, radish and lean meat porridge, and scrambled eggs with onions and minced meat.

1. Radish and ginger juice

Nutritional analysis : Radish tastes spicy and sweet, and is cool in nature. It has the effects of cooling blood and stopping bleeding, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, and promoting urination and detoxification. Its alcohol extract has a strong antibacterial effect on Gram-positive bacteria, and its aqueous extract has an inhibitory effect on a variety of skin fungi. Ginger is pungent and warm, dispels cold and soothes the stomach. This medicinal juice can dispel cold and wind, detoxify and reduce swelling.

Preparation method : 1. Wash the radish and ginger, peel the radish with the skin, and peel the ginger. Chop and mash both, and squeeze the juice with clean gauze. 2. Swallow the juice slowly in several times.

2. Burdock root porridge

Nutritional analysis : Burdock root is pungent, bitter and cold, and has similar effects to burdock. It has the functions of dispelling wind and heat, relieving sore throat and reducing swelling. In addition, taking burdock root internally can enhance metabolism, promote blood circulation, facilitate bowel movements, and regulate menstruation. When cooked into porridge with glutinous rice, it can also strengthen the stomach and soothe the stomach. This porridge can dispel wind and heat, relieve sore throat and soothe the stomach.

Preparation method : 1. Cook rice porridge first. Fry the sweet potato roots in water, boil for 5 minutes, remove the residue and take the juice, add it to the porridge, and add sugar to taste. 2. It can be eaten warm or cold.

3. Radish and lean meat porridge

Recipe ingredients : white radish, lean meat, rice, lard, ginger, onion, and salt.

Preparation method :

1. Dice the white radish and lean meat, and chop the ginger and green onion into fine pieces.

2. Wash the rice and soak it in water (moms who have to go to work can soak the rice in the morning before going to work, and come back to cook it at noon) (Note: soaking rice can not only save gas, but also make it easier to rot, and the porridge will be more delicious. The water for soaking rice is enough to fry the rice powder)

3. After the rice is soaked for a while, you can put it into the pot and boil it (I usually soak it in the morning and boil it at noon). Then add appropriate amount of water into the pot and turn the fire to high heat until it boils.

4. After the water boils, add minced ginger, minced meat, and diced white radish into the pot. After boiling, turn to low heat. (If your baby has a cold, you can also add more ginger powder)

5. After boiling for about ten minutes, add a little lard to the porridge (Note: not too much, otherwise the baby will have diarrhea)

6. The porridge will be ready after half an hour of cooking. Add some salt at this time (it must be a little, otherwise it will be bad for the baby's health)

7. Turn off the heat, add some chopped green onions, and a bowl of steaming pineapple and lean meat porridge is ready.

4. Scrambled Eggs with Onion and Minced Meat

Recipe ingredients : 3 to 4 eggs, 1 purple onion, 3 teaspoons of pork or beef.

Seasoning : salt, rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, oil, and cornstarch in appropriate amounts. It is best to choose purple onions, which will be more fragrant.

Preparation method :

1. Add a little water and salt to the eggs and mix them for later use.

2. Dice or cut the onion into strips, chop the pork or beef, and marinate with rice wine, soy sauce, sugar, oil and cornstarch.

3. Heat the pan with a little oil, then pour the minced meat and onion into the pan and stir-fry for a while. When the meat is almost cooked, pour the eggs in and fry together. Wait until the eggs are cooked through before removing from the pan. No need to add any seasoning.
