What should I do if my child has an itchy throat?

Although many parents attach great importance to taking care of their children, it is inevitable that children will get sick sometimes. This is also very normal. A common cold or fever may cause runny nose, cough, sore throat, etc., so parents should learn some simple methods to alleviate their children’s condition at this time. So I will introduce them to you next!

Tools/Raw Materials

Sterculia lychnophora, mung bean soup, honeysuckle, humidifier, honey

Steps/Methods

If the sore throat and cough are caused by getting too hot (for example, eating too much durian, lychee or other foods that easily cause heat), then eat more things that reduce heat, such as mung bean soup, watermelon, plums, etc., and drink more boiled water.

Prepare some puffed tamarind and honeysuckle, preferably with some hawthorn slices and rock sugar, then boil a pot of tea (I feel that brewed tea is not as delicious as boiled tea), and drink it as tea after it cools down. Drink three or four cups a day, and you can arrange the time as you like in the morning and afternoon, but don't drink too much.

Drinking honey is also very effective for the throat, especially pure honey, that is, the kind of honey that does not contain water and is somewhat sticky. Scoop a spoonful of it in your mouth and swallow it slowly. It is also good for chronic pharyngitis.

If the dry and itchy throat and cough are caused by a cold or dry environment, it is best to wear a scarf around the throat or put on something warm. At the same time, place some green plants indoors, and it is best to put an air humidifier.

If your throat itches and you cough due to work pressure, staying up late, excessive fatigue, etc., it is basically an attack of laryngitis. Especially if there is a significant change in the voice overnight, it is best to go to the hospital to check your throat, or go to the pharmacy to get some anti-inflammatory and cough suppressant medicine.

Although academic studies are very important for children, their health is more important. If health is not guaranteed, how can they have the energy to study? So we need to create a good environment for them. What's more, they need a good body. So if they get sick, they must be well taken care of.
