What to do if your child keeps catching a cold and coughing in autumn

Although autumn has been with us for a long time, the weather was very good and the temperature was still high, so no one felt anything and thought it was still summer. However, the weather has recently turned cooler due to the rain, and people realized that autumn has arrived. The emergency room of the hospital is basically full of children with colds and coughs. Seeing the children in so much pain, many parents are very worried. So what should we do if children keep catching colds and coughing in autumn?

Diet therapy first

Pear + rock sugar + Fritillaria cirrhosa: Cut the pear in half horizontally near the handle, dig out the core and add 2 to 3 pieces of rock sugar and 5 to 6 pieces of Fritillaria cirrhosa (the Fritillaria cirrhosa should be crushed into powder), put the pear in half and put them in a bowl, steam it for about 30 minutes and feed it to your baby in two portions. This recipe has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and resolving phlegm.

Boil radish water: Wash the white radish, cut it into 4 to 5 thin slices, put it in a small pot, add half a bowl of water, bring it to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. Wait until the water cools down a little before giving it to your baby. This recipe is very effective in treating wind-heat cough, dry nose and throat, and dry cough with little sputum. It is more effective for babies under 2 years old.

Medication assistance

Take antipyretic and expectorant drugs: Although fever and cough are not diseases, they are products of respiratory inflammation. They can irritate the respiratory mucosa and cause coughing, aggravate the infection, and cause high fever in the baby. Expectorants can dilute sputum or liquefy sticky sputum, making it easier to cough up, reduce respiratory tract pressure, and dredge without blocking it, thereby achieving the effect of reducing fever and reducing phlegm.

What should we do if children have colds and coughs in autumn? Looking at the introduction above, I believe everyone already knows how to do it. However, in addition to diet therapy and drug treatment, parents can also help their babies alleviate their condition in daily life, such as applying a hot water bottle to the back and raising the baby's head at night. The baby's body is very weak, so if the baby has a cold or cough, parents should not use medicine blindly. They must use it under the doctor's advice.
