How to treat cough in eight-month-old baby

We all know that babies have poor physical fitness, so they get sick easily. Sometimes babies catch a cold and will cough incessantly. At this time, the mother is the most worried. The mother was also worried that blindly taking medication would cause greater physical burden on the baby, so she was at a loss. Moms don’t have to worry. Today I will teach you how to treat the problem of coughing in eight-month-old babies.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that no matter what type of cold, coughing and sputum will damage the lung fluid, cause the lungs to lose moisture, and cause the lung qi to rise. Therefore, it is easy to leave a dry cough (without sputum) after the cold is cured. Treatment should focus on nourishing yin, moistening the lungs and relieving cough.

1. Steamed eggs with onions can cure colds and coughs:

Peel an egg, pour it into a small bowl, stir it with chopsticks, add appropriate amount of water and crystal sugar, then put in 3 scallions (i.e. the white part of the scallion), steam it for 15-20 minutes, and eat the egg and drink the soup after the meal.

Eggs (chickens) are sweet and mild in nature, and have the effect of nourishing yin and moistening dryness. It is suitable for symptoms such as fever, restlessness, dry cough and hoarseness. Modern research shows that egg white has the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, relieving inflammation and protecting mucous membranes; onion (scallion white) is pungent and warm in nature, and can induce sweating, relieve exterior symptoms, dispel cold and detoxify. Onions can inhibit viruses and prevent respiratory infections; rock sugar is sweet and flat in nature, can nourish yin and produce body fluid, moisten the lungs and relieve cough, and strengthen the body and nourish yin. It is very effective for dry cough, dry cough without sputum or sputum with blood.

2. Eggs + rock sugar is a commonly used folk recipe for relieving cough. The combination of the two ingredients focuses on nourishing yin, clearing heat, moistening dryness and relieving cough. It is most effective for dry cough with little sputum caused by wind-heat cold. Adding onions to the recipe can dispel cold, detoxify, and help clear lingering cold viruses or symptoms. The combination of these three ingredients can not only dispel evil, but also nourish yin and relieve cough. It is effective for all kinds of colds caused by dry cough and long-term cough due to damage to yin and body fluid.

3. Honey and radish juice

Cut a white radish into cubes, raw, and put the cubes in a bowl or a cup. Then pour a few spoons of honey (two or three spoons of astragalus honey) on it and leave it there. Do not cook it. After four hours, the radish juice will come out. At this time, use a spoon to stir it to mix the honey and radish juice evenly. Then prepare a cup of warm water next to it, and then pour the mixed honey and radish juice into the warm water. Drink it three or four times a day. Generally, a severe cough will improve that night, especially young children who cough severely at night can clearly feel it.
