What to do if a three-year-old child coughs

Three-year-old children have weaker resistance and are prone to dry coughs when seasons change or when the temperature changes drastically. This may be a sign of a cold. It is normal for a cold to cause coughing. If a child has a cough, it is best for parents not to take the child to the hospital for infusion first. Using medical means to treat cough is harmful to improving immunity.

If the child has a wind-heat cough, you can boil some rock sugar, Fritillaria cirrhosa and snow pear water for the child. Boil the rock sugar and pear water thoroughly, then add Fritillaria cirrhosa and let the child drink it. It can effectively relieve the child's cough symptoms and also reduce phlegm. Bake oranges for your children. Oranges are warm in nature and have the effect of resolving phlegm and relieving coughs, especially the outer red part of the orange peel, which is also called orange peel. If a child suffers from a cold, cough and has a lot of phlegm, which is white, thin and sticky phlegm, after eating roasted oranges, the amount of phlegm will be significantly reduced. The antitussive effect is very obvious, and children are willing to eat it. Roast the oranges over low heat until they turn black.

If a child has a cough, it is best to use both medication and food therapy at the same time, and work on improving the environment and bad living habits, which will be of great help in the treatment of the cough.

Finally, if the child has just started coughing, you can use some mild medicine to stop the cough, such as a small amount of cough syrup. In terms of diet, do not let the child come into contact with irritating and greasy foods, but focus on light foods. If the short-term treatment effect is not obvious, you can use drugs such as Fritillaria cirrhosa or honeysuckle to clear the lungs and dissipate heat, and then use external plasters for auxiliary treatment. A three-year-old child’s cough should be taken seriously, and medication and daily care should be carried out simultaneously to help the child recover as soon as possible.
