The child keeps coughing

Coughing is a common symptom, especially coughing after a cold. Many people develop bronchitis or pneumonia due to long-term coughing. Especially when children have recurrent coughing, parents are particularly distressed and worried. Children have weaker physical resistance and are more likely to catch colds and get sick. Once they start coughing, it is difficult for them to recover. In addition to taking medication in a timely manner, they also need to drink more water, and parents must provide careful care.

1. Pat on the back

When the baby coughs violently, it is best to hold him up with his upper body at a 45-degree angle, and gently pat his back with your hands to dilute the secretions adhering to the trachea and facilitate coughing.

2. Stewed mushrooms with pear juice

Pears can moisten the lungs, cool the heart, eliminate phlegm and reduce heat. The interferon produced by the double-stranded sugar nucleic acid in mushrooms can eliminate viruses in the human body. Use the diet therapy of "pear juice stewed with mushrooms" to prevent and treat dry coughs in autumn and winter and eliminate infections. Generally, the effect will be seen after taking it for two or three days. Peel and slice 4 duck pears and squeeze out the juice. Wash and slice 200 grams of mushrooms, add appropriate amount of water and rock sugar and stew together. After the mushrooms are cooked, eat them with the soup twice a day in the morning and evening.

3. Maintaining air temperature, humidity and cleanliness is very important

The room temperature should be kept at around 20-26℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity at 50%-70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it out. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge.

4. Boil white radish in water

If your child has been coughing for several days and has trouble falling asleep at night, buy a few white radishes, cut half of them into slices every night, and boil them in clean water. After the radishes are cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and drink it after it cools down a little. Coughing can be reduced. Drink it for a few days in a row and your cough will be cured.

When a child has a persistent cough, it is recommended that parents pat the child's back to help cough up the phlegm. In addition, maintain the humidity, temperature and cleanliness of the child's environment. In addition, you can also improve your child’s cough symptoms through diet therapy. For example, stewing mushrooms with pear juice and boiling white radish in water both have good cough-relieving effects.
