What are the methods to treat children's cough?

What are the methods to treat cough in children? Cough is a very common symptom that often occurs in spring. Now that summer has arrived, the weather has become very hot. Many children stay in air-conditioned rooms all day and drink a lot of cold drinks every day. This causes many children to cough. So, besides sending children to the hospital, are there any other ways to solve the problem when they cough?

1. Cough caused by wind and cold: Ginger + brown sugar + garlic. If a child has a cold caused by wind and 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 on low heat for 10 minutes to cook off the spicy taste of the garlic. Only then will the child be willing to drink it.

2. For wind-heat cough, you can give your baby the following foods: ① Persimmon: It is very cold in nature and can clear away heat, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. But the baby can only eat one at a time, and eating too much will make his stomach uncomfortable. ② Watermelon: It is cold in nature and can cure all fever symptoms. If your baby suffers from wind-heat cough in summer, you can let him eat more watermelon. ③Loquat: cool in nature, can moisten the lungs, reduce phlegm and relieve cough. It is suitable for babies with febrile cough and yellow sputum. ④ Water chestnut: It is cold in nature. Water chestnut water can resolve phlegm and clear away heat. Take 2 to 3 water chestnuts, peel them, cut them into thin slices, put them in a pot, add a bowl of water, and cook on the fire for 5 minutes. This prescription is effective for patients with febrile cough and sputum. When your baby suffers from wind-heat cough, you can also give him winter melon soup, fried loofah, fried lotus root slices, and fried bitter melon, which can also help eliminate internal heat, remove fire, and relieve cough.

3. Yam porridge: Peel the yam, cut into small pieces and put into a food grinder. Add half a bowl of water and process the yam into a thin paste. Then pour it into the pot, put it on the fire, stir constantly and bring to a boil. It is best for babies to eat it on an empty stomach. A bowl of prepared yam porridge can be fed to the baby in 2 to 3 times. Yam strengthens the spleen and stomach, replenishes lung qi, and benefits kidney essence. This recipe is most suitable for infants and young children. It can not only relieve cough and treat asthma, but also has a good therapeutic effect on children's anorexia, excessive sweating, drooling, qi deficiency and timidity. It should be noted that the yam should not be boiled for too long, otherwise the amylase contained in it will decompose and lose its nourishing effect.

The above is the method for treating children’s cough. Do you think this method is very simple? It not only solves the problem of children not liking to take medicine, but also avoids the side effects caused by medicine. In fact, in addition to the above methods, children should exercise more in their daily lives, so that they can strengthen their physical fitness and enhance their ability to resist diseases.
