Are expectorant and cough suppressant medicines useful for children?

Children with poor physical constitutions are prone to illness and will inevitably cough when they are sick. The problem of coughing can be said to vary in severity, and it can be a big or small problem. If a period of treatment does not relieve the cough, the cough will become more and more severe. The cough may even last for a month and cause the child to cough up pneumonia. For this situation, you can use the following dietary therapy to treat it.

In the early stages of a cold, the dry coughs prevent the baby from getting a good rest, consume physical energy, and affect recovery from the illness. Therefore, you should choose a cold medicine with a stronger cough suppressant effect at this time.

Babies who have no fever or a slight fever can choose children's cold granules, relieving muscle and soothing cough oral liquid, magic cough syrup, acute bronchitis syrup, Otis syrup (compound pholcodine), Xiaobai syrup, Tylenol cold syrup, etc.

If the baby has a severe cold and fever, you should choose Children's Cold Relief Syrup, Children's Heat Clearing Oral Liquid, Sangju Cold Granules, Children's Shuangqing Granules, Children's Cough Relief Tangerine Oral Liquid, etc.

Diet therapy tips:

* Onion, ginger and orange peel drink

Take 4-5 sections of scallion, 3-4 slices of ginger, 10-20 grams of fresh orange peel, and an appropriate amount of brown sugar. Wash the scallion, ginger and orange peel, put them into a casserole and boil them together to extract the juice. Then add an appropriate amount of brown sugar and take it in divided doses. It is very effective in relieving the symptoms of external infection in children.

The above are the cough relief tips I would like to introduce today. It can be seen that children do not necessarily have to take medicine. Some folk remedies will be more effective, are not as bitter as medicine, and have fewer side effects. It also does little harm to the child's body, and generally speaking, such treatment will not cause the cough to recur. But afterwards you still need to pay more attention to keeping warm and not catching a cold.
