First, what should you do if your child has been coughing for half a year? If your child’s cough doesn’t get better, it is recommended that you go to the hospital to rule out inflammation, bronchitis, pneumonia, or diseases of other organs. This requires identification by a professional doctor, and it is difficult for parents to judge on their own. If a child has a cough, parents can pat their child's back to help him/her spit out phlegm and make him/her feel more comfortable. Parents can also prepare some cough-relieving, light and easy-to-digest food for their children to replenish the energy they need. Patting the back: When the baby coughs violently, it is best to hold him up with his upper body at a 45-degree angle, and gently pat the baby's back with your hands to dilute the secretions adhering to the trachea and facilitate coughing. Maintain air temperature, humidity and cleanliness: The room temperature should be kept at around 20-26℃, with regular ventilation and indoor humidity at 50%-70%, which is conducive to diluting sputum and coughing it out. If the air is too dry, sputum will stick to the tracheal wall and be difficult to discharge.

Second, boil white radish in water: If your child has been coughing for several days and has difficulty falling asleep at night, you can buy a few white radishes, cut half of the radish into slices every night, and boil them in clean water. After the radish is cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and drink it after it cools down a little. Coughing can be reduced. Drink it for a few days in a row and your cough will be cured. Stewed mushrooms with pear juice: Pears can moisten the lungs and cool the heart, eliminate phlegm and reduce heat. The interferon produced by the double-stranded sugar nucleic acid in the mushrooms can eliminate viruses in the human body. Use the diet therapy of "pear juice stewed with mushrooms" to prevent and treat dry coughs in autumn and winter and eliminate infections. Generally, it takes two or three days to cure.
