What is the fastest way to treat a child’s cough?

Children's physical resistance is relatively weaker, so they often have symptoms of headaches and fever. However, when children become ill, they are not only afraid of injections and infusions, but are also often very resistant to taking medicine. Therefore, some parents will use some dietary therapy methods to alleviate the symptoms, and the effect is very good. So, if a child has symptoms of coughing, what should he eat?

Pear + Sichuan pepper + rock sugar

Wash a pear, cut it in half horizontally and remove the core. Add 20 peppercorns and 2 crystal sugars. Put the pear halves in a bowl and steam it for about half an hour. One pear can be eaten in two times. Steamed pears with pepper and rock sugar are very effective in treating cold and cough, but some children don’t like the taste of pepper, so parents can choose for themselves.

Roasted Oranges

Take an orange and roast it directly over low heat until the peel turns black and heat comes out of the cracks in the peel. Let it cool for a while, peel the orange peel and eat the warm orange segments inside. If it is a big orange, eat 2 or 3 petals; if it is a small tribute orange, you can eat one. I bought some tangerines for Xixi, and she ate more than half of them. It is best to take this with garlic water, 2 or 3 times a day. Oranges are warm in nature and have the effect of resolving phlegm and relieving cough. After eating roasted oranges, phlegm is significantly reduced and the antitussive effect is very good.

Garlic water

Take 2 or 3 cloves of garlic, smash them and put them in a bowl, add 1 piece of rock sugar and half a small bowl of water, cover the pot, bring to a boil, then steam over low heat for 15 minutes. Drink it when it is warm, 2 or 3 times a day. Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians. It is very effective for coughs caused by wind-cold and kidney deficiency. Adults can also use this method, but they need 7 or 8 cloves of garlic and 2 pieces of rock sugar.

When your child has symptoms of coughing, you can try the above methods to relieve it. However, if the child's cough symptoms are more serious, it is best to use a two-pronged approach of medication and diet therapy, which will achieve better results. Don't blindly force your child to take dietary therapy, so as not to delay the disease and lead to regrettable consequences.
