What to do if your child has a cough and hoarseness

Nowadays, most families have only one child, so the child naturally becomes the apple of the parents' eyes. Because children's body resistance is very limited, they are more likely to be attacked by various diseases during their growth, such as coughing and hoarseness. Parents certainly do not want to use medication to treat them. So, what should we do if our child has a cough and a hoarse voice? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

1. Platycodon grandiflorum soup

Take 15 grams of Platycodon grandiflorum and 30 grams of licorice, soak in boiling water. Platycodon has the effect of clearing the lungs and removing phlegm, relieving sore throat and draining pus, while licorice has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. Use licorice to purge fire, and platycodon to clear the lungs. The heat will be released, the lungs will be unblocked, and the symptoms of dry, itchy and painful throat will naturally be alleviated.

2. Monk Fruit Tea

Soak 1 monk fruit in boiling water. Luo Han Guo has the effects of clearing the lungs and relieving throat, and moistening the intestines and promoting bowel movements. It has a good effect on sore throat and dry and itchy throat, but it should be noted that this product has a certain laxative effect. For people who are prone to diarrhea, it is better to take as little as possible.

3. Water chestnut and pear soup

Wash and peel 10 water chestnuts. Peel and core 2 pears and cut into pieces. Add appropriate amount of water and add a little rock sugar after boiling. Drink it all at once or in several times. Water chestnuts can quench thirst, detoxify, warm the middle and replenish qi. Using them with pears can prevent the pear's cold nature from damaging the stomach. In fact, crushing the water chestnuts and taking the juice directly can also treat acute and chronic throat discomfort.

4. Fresh ginger and radish juice

100 grams of white radish and 50 grams of ginger, wash and crush to extract the juice, mix and swallow. White radish has the effect of removing heat and relieving cough, while fresh ginger can regulate qi and stop vomiting, resolve phlegm and dispel cold. Using both together can have the effect of resolving phlegm and quenching thirst. The fresh juice can also moisturize, so this product can treat acute and chronic throat pain, aphonia and other symptoms.

The above is an introduction to what to do if your child has a cough and a hoarse voice. I hope it will be helpful to parents. Children will suffer from various diseases to a greater or lesser extent as they grow up. It should be noted that not all diseases require treatment with medications. Many dietary therapies can also have very good results. Parents should pay more attention to this aspect.
