What are the solutions for children’s cough and diarrhea?

Children often have symptoms of coughing. This is because their resistance is very poor and many of their body's medical functions are not yet sound, so they will cough when they are slightly stimulated. Similarly, if parents do not know how to protect their children's stomachs, such as feeding their children casually, or if the baby's belly gets cold, it is easy to have symptoms of diarrhea. If a child has coughing and diarrhea at the same time, it is very harmful to health. This will seriously affect the baby's absorption of nutrients. If the cough is severe, it will also damage the lungs, so it is necessary to treat the specific cause. Here are some healthy and effective treatments.

First, can children take cough medicine when they have diarrhea with foam?

Depending on the baby's condition, medicines with the effects of digesting food and eliminating accumulation, dispersing wind and cold, clearing away heat and dampness, strengthening the spleen and warming the kidney are used, such as cloves, cinnamon, kudzu root, evodia rutaecarpa, atractylodes, yam, and poria.

You can take Chinese patent medicines orally: Pi Ke Xin, Jian Pi Zhi Xie San, Chang Wei Kang Chong Ji, etc. For children with long-term diarrhea, or accompanied by vomiting and difficulty taking medicine, you can use Chinese medicine to apply to the navel for treatment, which can often achieve satisfactory results.

In addition, you can also choose different drug combinations, grind them into fine powder, mix them with rice wine into a paste, apply it on the navel, cover it with a medical adhesive tape, peel it off the next day, wash it with warm water, and then apply new medicine. Take once a day, 3 days as a course of treatment. Some children may experience mild local redness, but it does not affect the treatment and efficacy and will recover after discontinuation of use. This method is safe, effective, simple, easy to use, economical and practical, and easy for babies to accept. When your baby has difficulty taking medicine or getting injections, or when Western medicine is ineffective, you may try the umbilical compress method.

Second, the dietary treatment of infant diarrhea

1. Diluted milk: After milk is diluted with rice soup, it meets stomach acid to form soft and loose casein clots, which are easy to digest. The fat content is also reduced after dilution. Adding rice soup makes the milk contain three kinds of sugars, namely lactose in milk, plus sucrose and starch in rice soup, which reduces the fermentability of each sugar.

2. Scorched rice or rice soup both contain a small amount of calories. After the rice is scorched, part of it turns into carbon, which has an adsorption effect and reduces the moisture in the stool.

3. Yogurt The casein clots in yogurt are smaller. The increase in stomach contents after eating yogurt has a certain effect in inhibiting bacterial growth and promoting calcium absorption.

4. Skim milk The fat content in skim milk is about 0.5-1.5% (3.7% in whole milk), which can reduce the gastrointestinal tract's ability to digest fat. Only suitable for short-term treatment.

5. Fish protein powder contains high-quality protein, which can correct the malnutrition caused by long-term protein deficiency in the body, correct the disorder of digestive enzymes, and improve digestive function. The fat content in fish protein powder is less than 0.5% and it does not contain lactose, making it particularly suitable for treating diarrhea caused by improper diet.

6. For the carrot soup, chop the carrots, add water and cook until soft. It contains pectin, which has the function of absorbing moisture, bacteria and toxins, and makes the stool firm.
