How to treat children's recurrent cough

Children’s health is an issue that parents are more concerned about. So how to treat children’s recurring coughs? Coughs are divided into cold coughs and hot coughs. Choose the appropriate conditioning method according to the cause of the child's illness. If it is a cold cough, the main focus should be on dispelling the cold. You can soak your child's feet before going to bed, which is very helpful in dispelling the cold. Let's learn about it in detail.

? ??First, we need to distinguish whether it is a cold cough or a hot cough. First, you can look at the time of coughing. If you are active and cough severely after sweating, it is a hot cough; if you cough when sleeping at night, it is mostly a cold cough. Second, you can look at the sputum. Hot coughs usually have a lot of thick sputum, usually yellow in color, while cold coughs have no sputum, or there is sputum that cannot be coughed up, or it is white sputum. There are also more complicated coughs caused by a mixture of cold and heat. It is necessary to identify the child’s symptoms and then make appropriate adjustments. ?

You can add ginger or mugwort to enhance the effect of dispelling the cold, and drink brown sugar ginger water at the same time. You can also use a salt pack to apply to the lung acupoints before going to bed to remove the cold and evil spirits from the lungs. Proper exercise to make the body sweat is also a good way to drive away the cold, but be sure to wipe off the sweat in time.

If it is a hot cough, the main treatment is to clear away heat and moisten the lungs. You can boil three-bean water to drink. Three-bean water is the water boiled with soybeans, black beans, and mung beans until the mung beans bloom. It has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying. In addition, you can also boil sugar water with Sichuan Fritillaria, snow pear, snow fungus, etc. to moisten the lungs. Soups made from sea coconut, almonds, figs, etc. also have the effect of moistening the lungs.
