The above is an introduction to what to do if a child has a cough. After understanding it, parents should not blindly give their babies some cough suppressants when encountering such symptoms. They must understand the cause and then prescribe the right medicine. Only in this way can the disease be completely cured. In addition, if a cough occurs, children must be given more light food. You can give them some pears or cook some rock sugar pears to eat, because pears have a good effect of relieving cough and moistening the lungs. In addition, when necessary, take the baby to the hospital for examination in time.
