Treatment for a two-year-old baby's cough

Parents are always worried about their baby's cough, because we all know that if the baby is still young, the cough will not be relieved, which will have a great impact on their health, especially for babies aged one or two. For long-term cough, of course, we should pay attention to the most scientific and effective solutions. The following are recommended methods for treating baby's cough.

Dietary remedies for children's cough. Coughs can be divided into exogenous coughs and endogenous coughs. Exogenous coughs can be divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. Different types of coughs require completely different medications and dietary therapy methods. Here is a simple way to distinguish, which is to observe the child's tongue coating. If the tongue coating is white, it is a wind-cold cough, which means the child has a severe cold. The sputum from the cough is thinner, white and sticky, and there is nasal congestion and runny nose. At this time, some warm, expectorant and cough-relieving foods should be eaten.

If the child's tongue coating is yellow or red, it is a wind-heat cough, which means that the child has a lot of internal heat. The phlegm in the cough is yellow, thick, and difficult to cough up, and there is a sore throat. At this time, the child should eat some food that clears the lungs, resolves phlegm and relieves cough. Internal injury coughs are usually long-term and recurring. At this time, parents should pay attention to feeding their children foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, nourish the kidneys, and replenish the lung qi.

1. Ginger + brown sugar + garlic. When a child catches a cold, drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can play a good therapeutic role. 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 cook off the spiciness of the garlic so that the child will 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.
