If a child keeps coughing, it is probably due to lung heat. How should it be treated?

Children's persistent cough makes many parents worried and anxious. Some parents think that many methods have failed to achieve effective treatment. Moreover, many times, children's persistent cough is caused by lung heat, so naturally targeted solutions are needed. The following is a detailed introduction on what to do if a child's persistent cough persists.

Coughing is a protective reflex of the human body's defense function. However, persistent and severe coughing not only affects the baby's rest, but also consumes the baby's physical strength, and even spreads the lesions to the adjacent small bronchi, inducing major diseases such as pneumonia and emphysema.

According to traditional Chinese medicine, lung heat is caused by wind-heat attacking the lungs, or wind-cold accumulating and turning into heat, which is blocked in the lungs and causes the lungs to lose their ability to clear and purify themselves. From the child's own physiological characteristics, the child has a pure yang body, that is, yang is often in excess and yin is often insufficient, tending to be yin deficient, and has severe internal heat, which is what ordinary people call "fire".

When the weather changes suddenly, be sure to add or remove clothes for your child. In autumn and winter, let your child drink more water. Also pay attention to indoor ventilation to ensure the humidity in the air.

In addition, when children start coughing, they should be given some nutritious, easily digestible and delicious food, such as milk, egg custard, fruit juice, broth, etc. During the peak season of respiratory diseases in autumn and winter, try not to take children to crowded public places to reduce the chance of illness.

Although coughing is a minor issue, the impact and harm it causes to children is naturally quite large, so parents need to understand the real cause so that they can scientifically treat and reduce these adverse problems and the impact on the baby's health so that the baby can grow up healthily.
