If a child has any problem during his/her growth, the ones who will be most worried are our parents. The development process of a child will not be smooth sailing. It will definitely go through many twists and turns before it can grow into a big tree. Some parents often ask, what should we do if children have repeated fever and cough? Let’s take a look and learn about it together. I hope the following content will be helpful to parents.

Treatment:

1. Treatment of cold cough:

The treatment should be to dispel wind and cold, promote lung function and relieve cough. The important thing is that it can promote the expulsion of phlegm in the trachea and reduce secretions in the trachea. You can choose to add or subtract Sanao Decoction. Take 3 grams each of ephedra and licorice, 5 grams each of almond, schizonepeta, peucedanum, platycodon, perilla seed, fennel, tangerine peel, cinnamon twig, stemona, and scutellaria. Decoction in water, 1 dose per day. Chinese patent medicines include Xingsu cough syrup, Xiaoqinglong oral liquid, etc.

2. Cold cough care:

1. Try not to turn on the air conditioner when sleeping at night. If you turn on the air conditioner, it should be around 25 degrees Celsius and it is best to wear socks.

2. Don’t sleep in a shirt with an open neckline. Pay attention to protecting the collar to shoulder joint area.

3. Avoid going barefoot at home and wear slippers instead.

3. Diet therapy:

1. Ginger + brown sugar + garlic

If a child has a cold, drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can be a good therapeutic treatment. If the child also has a cough, add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic to the ginger and brown sugar water and cook together. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes to remove the spiciness of the garlic. Only then will the child be willing to drink it.

2. Steamed Garlic Water

Take 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, smash them, put them in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, put in a piece of rock sugar, cover the bowl and put it in the pot to steam. After boiling over high heat, switch to low heat and steam for 15 minutes. When the garlic water in the bowl is warm, feed it to your child. The garlic does not need to be eaten. Generally 2 to 3 times a day, half a bowl each time. Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians. It is very effective in treating cold coughs and kidney deficiency coughs. It is also convenient and simple, and children are willing to drink it.

After knowing this treatment method, when the child shows this symptom, you should take these measures in time to improve the symptoms of the disease for the child. When treating, you must distinguish what type of cold the child has, and choose different treatment methods according to different types of colds. This is the best choice for the child.
