What to eat for children with bronchitis

Once children develop bronchitis, it is often very painful. In the past, it was considered a common disease among old men, but now, children can also experience symptoms of bronchitis. Once this happens, the child will often feel uncomfortable, and the patient at this time needs more than just active treatment. And you need food. What is the best food for children with bronchitis?

Chronic bronchitis in the elderly (commonly known as "chronic bronchitis") is the most common disease among the elderly. It often recurs, especially in the cold seasons of autumn and winter. Summer is a period of relative remission for patients with chronic bronchitis. If treatment is taken at this time, it can achieve twice the result with half the effort. This is also a manifestation of the Chinese medicine principle of "treating the root cause of the disease" and "treating winter diseases in summer". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the long-term failure of chronic bronchitis to heal is related to deficiency of both the lungs and spleen, and insufficiency of the lungs and kidneys. Therefore, during the remission period of chronic bronchitis in the summer, patients should not only pay attention to dietary nutrition, but also choose to take some medicated foods that strengthen the spleen and lungs, and nourish the lungs and kidneys.

Diet therapy is effective in treating chronic bronchitis. Through clinical observation, we have found that many middle-aged and elderly patients have stabilized their condition because they pay attention to their diet and adopt dietary therapy measures. Commonly used dietary treatments for tracheitis include:

1. Radish honey juice: Hollow out half of a white radish, fill it with appropriate amount of honey, leave it for 3 hours, take the juice, and drink it with warm water, 3 times a day, 1 tablespoon each time; or use half a pound of radish, appropriate amount of rock sugar and honey, add a small amount of water, boil it into soup and drink it warm.

2. Boil 15g of glutinous rice, 10g each of almond and licorice in water, filter the juice and take it twice a day.

3. Boil 50g honey and 30g bergamot in water to make tea; or boil honey, maltose and onion juice in equal parts and eat in appropriate amounts.

4. Radish tea: Take frosted radish, cut it into thin slices, boil it in water and drink it as tea.

5. Radish stewed with tofu: 100g fresh large radish cubes, 200g tofu, stew together until well-cooked, then add seasonings and serve.

6. Snow pear and lily juice: 1 snow pear, 15g lily. Slice the pear and cook it with lilies. Drink the soup when it is well cooked. You can also add appropriate amount of rock sugar during decocting.
