Coughs are divided into wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs. Different types of coughs require completely different medications and diet therapy methods. Here I will teach parents a simple way to distinguish them, which is to observe their 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.

Parents can try the methods introduced above, which are very effective in treating children's cough, phlegm and runny nose!
