What should I do if my child has a low-grade fever and cough? How can I treat it?

Low fever is a very common disease in life, and basically all children have suffered from this disease. Some children may cough when they have a low fever. If you want to relieve coughing, you might as well adjust your diet, which will be more effective than medication.

Children with persistent low-grade fever and cough :

1. If the child's low fever is not serious, do not blindly use antipyretics to reduce the fever. You can use the most traditional method, soak a towel with cold water, then fold it into a square and place it on your forehead as a cold compress, then soak other towels in cold water and wipe your body to remove heat, or you can directly place ice packs around your limbs and body to reduce fever.

2. Children's low fever and cough are often caused by wind-heat cold, which manifests as fever, dry mouth and throat, chest tightness, coughing with sputum, coughing up yellow sputum (or thick sputum), and coughing up sputum with discomfort, or long-term coughing. The tongue is red and the tongue coating is yellow. Drugs that have the effects of relieving exterior symptoms, clearing away heat and detoxifying, invigorating the mind and calming the nerves, dispelling wind and clearing the lungs, and dispersing stagnation and phlegm should be selected for treatment.

3. In addition to drug treatment, dietary conditioning should not be taken lightly. The diet should be light and balanced, and spicy, greasy and irritating foods should be avoided. During the child's illness, parents can choose lily, pear and tremella soup for diet therapy, which can play a good role in clearing the lungs and moisturizing. Tremella is non-toxic throughout its life, and it not only has the effect of nourishing the spleen and appetite, but also has the effect of invigorating qi and clearing the intestines, and can also nourish yin and moisten the lungs. In addition, Tremella can also enhance human immunity.
