What should children eat when they have a viral cold or cough?

In today's society, children are the focus of attention, because a child is the hope of a family, the flower of the motherland, and the future of a nation. They come into this world with an important mission and play a vital role in our world. If a child gets sick, it is a big deal. Children are always vulnerable to various germs. So what should children eat for viral colds and coughs?

1. Pear: Pear is the most commonly used fruit for cough relief among the people. It has the effects of promoting salivation and quenching thirst, clearing away heat and relieving cough.

There are many ways to cook it. It can be boiled together with Fritillaria cirrhosa, rock sugar or honey. You can also remove the core, add rock sugar and Fritillaria powder, steam it, and then eat it directly. The results are all good.

It has a significant alleviating effect on symptoms such as wind-heat cold, fever, dry mouth, cough and sputum. Patients with wind-heat cold can use a raw pear, wash it, cut it into pieces with the skin, add rock sugar and stew it in water to take orally, which will have a good therapeutic effect.

2. Watermelon: Watermelon is cold in nature, sweet in taste, and has the function of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat. When you catch a cold caused by wind and heat in the summer, eating watermelon can quench your thirst and relieve the heat. "Compendium of Materia Medica in Southern Yunnan" says that watermelon can "cure all fever symptoms."

No matter it is a wind-cold cold or a wind-heat cold, in the early stage of a cold, when the pathogenic factors are on the surface, eating watermelon is equivalent to taking medicine to clear the internal heat, which will lead the pathogenic factors into the interior, making the cold worse or prolonging the healing time. However, when the cold worsens and symptoms such as high fever, thirst, sore throat, and yellow or red urine appear, you can eat some watermelon while taking normal medication to help cure the cold.
