What are the solutions for children's long-term cough?

Coughing is very common in children. An occasional cough will not have much impact and does not require special treatment. However, if a child coughs for a long time, the harm will be very great. For example, it may cause pneumonia and respiratory inflammation, etc. Long-term coughing will cause many complications, so timely treatment is needed. Coughs have different classifications and can be treated in a targeted manner according to the following classifications.

First, if it is phlegm-heat cough

The baby will cough and spit out yellow phlegm, and will also have symptoms such as red lips and yellow urine. At this time, you can consider using the winter melon seeds and brown sugar water diet therapy. Specific operation method: Wash and peel an appropriate amount of winter melon seeds, cut them into cubes, then add a little brown sugar, mash them together and take them with boiling water. Take orally twice a day. If you take it for several days in a row, the cough effect will be significantly improved.

Second, if it is phlegm and cough

When babies cough, they will spit out more phlegm, and the coughing will be more severe in the morning and evening. They will also have symptoms such as excessive drooling and loss of appetite. At this time, parents can prepare orange peel porridge for their children. This porridge is very simple to cook. Use 30 grams of fresh orange peel, wash it and cut it into shreds, then add 100 grams of rice, finally mix it with water and cook it into porridge and then feed it to your baby. Eat it a few more times and your cough will stop.

Third , if it is Yin deficiency cough

The baby spits out relatively little sputum, and most of it is a dry cough, accompanied by a series of symptoms such as dry mouth, hot hands and feet, etc. At this time, babies really need their mothers to prepare better dietary therapy for them, such as Tremella fuciformis porridge. You need to prepare 25 grams of Tremella fuciformis, 100 grams of polished rice, and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. When the Tremella is cooked in water until it is 60% cooked, add the glutinous rice and continue to cook it into porridge. Add rock sugar and dissolve it before serving. Then serve it to the child.

Fourth, if it is wind-heat cough

There will be turbid mucus flowing out, the sputum is yellower and thicker, and the baby's tongue coating is yellow or red. If this type of cough occurs, you need to give your baby some radish and rock sugar juice. Just take 100-200 ml of white radish juice, add appropriate amount of rock sugar, and stew it over water. Give your baby the medicine all at once before he goes to bed. After taking it for three to five days, his condition will gradually improve.

Fifth, if it is a cold cough

When the baby coughs, the throat will feel itchy, the sputum he spits out is very clear and thin, and the tongue coating is white. At this time, in order to effectively curb the baby's cough as soon as possible, the mother needs to prepare a bowl of steaming perilla porridge for the baby. Just prepare 10 grams of perilla leaves, an appropriate amount of japonica rice, 3-5 slices of ginger, and 2-3 jujubes. First, boil the japonica rice into porridge, then add perilla, ginger and jujube, and finally take it while it is hot.
