What can I do to improve my baby's cough at five months old?

Recently, many people have consulted me saying that their babies are already five months old, but somehow they seem to have caught a cold, so they have been coughing all the time, and no matter how much they eat, their condition has not improved. In fact, if a five-month-old baby coughs, there are different reasons for it. Therefore, there are many differences in treatment methods. Now I will introduce to you different methods to improve your baby’s cough at five months old.

1. Cold and cough

1. Ginger + brown sugar + garlic. When a child catches a cold, drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can play a good therapeutic role. If the child also has a cough, add 2 to 3 cloves of garlic to the ginger and brown sugar water and cook together. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes to cook off the spiciness of the garlic so that the child will be willing to drink it.

2. Steamed garlic water: Take 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, smash them, put them in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, put in a piece of rock sugar, cover the bowl and put it in the pot to steam. After boiling over high heat, switch to low heat and steam for 15 minutes. When the garlic water in the bowl is warm, feed it to your child. The garlic does not need to be eaten. Generally 2 to 3 times a day, half a bowl each time. Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach and lung meridians. It is very effective in treating cold coughs and kidney deficiency coughs. It is also convenient and simple, and children are willing to drink it.

2. Wind-heat cough

1. Pear + rock sugar + Fritillaria cirrhosa. Cut the pear horizontally along the stem, dig out the core and add 2 to 3 pieces of rock sugar, 5 to 6 pieces of Fritillaria cirrhosa (the Fritillaria cirrhosa should be crushed into powder). Put the pear in half and put them in a bowl. Steam it for about 30 minutes and feed it to your baby in two portions. This recipe has the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Because babies nowadays generally like to stay cool, they turn on the air conditioner when they are hot and eat cold fruits all year round, so the number of babies suffering from wind-heat cough has decreased significantly.

2. Boil radish water: Wash the white radish, cut it into 4 to 5 thin slices, put it in a small pot, add half a bowl of water, bring it to a boil, then simmer for 5 minutes on low heat. Wait until the water cools down a little before giving it to your baby. This recipe is very effective in treating wind-heat cough, dry nose and throat, and dry cough with little sputum.

Well, the above is the specific content of the treatment method for a five-month-old baby’s cough introduced by the editor. I believe you should have learned a lot after reading it. Wind-cold coughs and wind-heat coughs are actually different, so if your baby has a cough, it is best to first look at which type of cough it is before choosing a treatment method.
