What should I do if my baby has lung heat and cough?

In fact, taking care of children is a very difficult task, because children do not know what is dangerous and what is not, or they have no ability to distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, and sometimes they may get hurt often. As adults, we should take good care of them and guide them with correct educational concepts. Similarly, when children are sick and coughing, how should we take care of them? What methods can relieve symptoms?

Symptom classification:

1. If your child suddenly starts coughing severely and has difficulty breathing, there may be a foreign object blocking his trachea. Things that are easy to swallow accidentally include peanuts, pencil cases, pills, buttons, coins, etc. This situation is very dangerous and you should go to the hospital immediately.

2. If you have a high fever, cough, wheezing and difficulty breathing, you need to be sent to the hospital for emergency treatment immediately.

3. Babies are very susceptible to bronchiolitis, a type of pneumonia. If the child's face looks bad, often turns purple, or his breathing becomes faster, his shoulders sway when he breathes, and the lower chest wall collapses when he inhales, he should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.

Diet therapy

1. Ginger + brown sugar + garlic

If a child has a cold, drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can be a good therapeutic treatment. If the child also has a cough, add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic to the ginger and brown sugar water and cook together. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes to remove the spiciness of the garlic. Only then will the child be willing to drink it.

2. Steamed Garlic Water

Take 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, smash them, put them in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, put in a piece of rock sugar, cover the bowl and put it in the pot to steam. After boiling over high heat, switch to low heat and steam for 15 minutes. When the garlic water in the bowl is warm, feed it to your child. The garlic does not need to be eaten. Generally 2 to 3 times a day, half a bowl each time. Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians. It is very effective in treating cold coughs and kidney deficiency coughs. It is also convenient and simple, and children are willing to drink it.

So if your child has a lung heat cough, you can use the methods introduced above to relieve the child's condition, but this is only a temporary relief. The most important thing is to take your child to see a doctor first, so that the condition can be effectively controlled, so parents should pay attention!
