What to do if your child keeps coughing? Patting the back is effective!

Cough is a common clinical disease, most of which is caused by colds. Children with weak immunity may also cough. Regarding the issue of what to do if children are always coughing, without taking medicine, you can use some lifestyle methods to help children, such as some diet therapies.

1. Pat on the back

When the baby coughs violently, it is best to hold him up with his upper body at a 45-degree angle, and gently pat his back with your hands to dilute the secretions adhering to the trachea and facilitate coughing.

2. Maintaining air temperature, humidity and cleanliness is very important

The room temperature should be kept at around 20-26℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity at 50%-70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it out. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge.

3. Boil white radish in water

If your child has been coughing for several days and has trouble falling asleep at night, buy a few white radishes, cut half of them into slices every night, and boil them in clean water. After the radishes are cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and drink it after it cools down a little. Coughing can be reduced. Drink it for a few days in a row and your cough will be cured.

4. Stewed mushrooms with pear juice

Pears can moisten the lungs, cool the heart, eliminate phlegm and reduce heat. The interferon produced by the double-stranded sugar nucleic acid in mushrooms can eliminate viruses in the human body. Use the diet therapy of "pear juice stewed with mushrooms" to prevent and treat dry coughs in autumn and winter and eliminate infections. Generally, it takes two or three days to cure.

See results. Peel and slice 4 duck pears and squeeze out the juice. Wash and slice 200 grams of mushrooms, add appropriate amount of water and rock sugar and stew together. After the mushrooms are cooked, eat them with the soup twice a day in the morning and evening.

5. Others

If the child has a severe cough at night, you can slightly raise the pillow to reduce the irritation to the throat caused by gastroesophageal reflux. Try to keep your child's nasal cavity clean. Nasal congestion or runny nose will aggravate cough symptoms. For infants or young children who cannot blow their noses, parents can use saline nasal drops or a bulb-type nasal aspirator to help clear their children's nasal cavity.
