What can a 11-month-old child eat to cure his cough quickly?

Children have always been the apple of their parents’ eyes. As the saying goes: Raising a child for a hundred years requires constant worry for ninety-nine. It can be seen that parents' concern and worry for their children are indelible. But in real life, no matter how carefully we take care of our babies, they are bound to suffer from minor illnesses such as colds and coughs. So what should you do if your eleven-month-old child has a cough? What can I eat to get better quickly? Let’s take a look.

1. Fritillaria cirrhosa and pear: core a snow pear or duck pear, add 6 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa and some rock sugar. Put the ground Fritillaria cirrhosa into the belly of the snow pear, secure with toothpicks, put it in a large bowl, add a small amount of water and rock sugar, steam it, and finally eat the snow pear and Fritillaria cirrhosa together. Fritillaria cirrhosa is a common Chinese medicine for resolving phlegm and relieving cough. It also has the effect of nourishing yin and moistening the lungs. It is mild in nature and is more suitable for babies to eat.

2. Garlic water: Take two or three cloves of garlic and smash them, add a little rock sugar and half a bowl of water, boil water, and steam the garlic water after the water boils for 15 minutes. Let it cool down and give it to the baby. Garlic is warm in nature and has a good effect on the baby's cold and cough.

If an eleven-month-old baby coughs and has phlegm, parents can also turn the baby over or pat his back to promote blood circulation in the baby's lungs, loosen the phlegm in the baby's trachea, and help the baby cough up the phlegm as soon as possible. Of course, there are certain methods to pat a child on the back. Parents can let the child lie on his side. If the child is too young, the parent can hold the child and let the child lie on his side in the arms. Note that the back of the hand that pats the back should be arched and the palm should be hollow. Pat your child's back gently on both sides from top to bottom and from outside to inside, alternating between patting each side for 3 to 5 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day.

The above briefly introduces two dietary therapy methods suitable for cough in eleven-month-old children. Parents can try them on their children. An eleven-month-old child is still too young. Try not to use medication to suppress the child's cough, so as not to damage the child's own immune system and resistance. Dietary therapy is safe and there is no need to worry about any side effects.
