What to do if your five-month-old baby coughs

When the temperature drops suddenly, some babies are prone to getting sick, especially when the temperature fluctuates. Once a baby catches a cold, the most common symptom is coughing. Frequent coughing is not only uncomfortable for the baby, but also very distressing for the parents. In order to relieve the symptoms, parents generally take various cough suppressants. So what should I do if my five-month-old baby coughs?

1. Lily honey <br/>Prepare 60 grams of lily and 30 grams of honey. Wash the lily and dry it in the sun, then mix it with the honey and steam it in a pot. You can brew the lily honey into water and feed it to your baby, or eat it as a snack. Although lily is a slightly cold Chinese medicine, it can moisten the lungs and relieve cough when used with honey. In particular, some babies not only have dry cough symptoms in autumn, but also constipation. At this time, consuming lily honey is most effective.
2. Water chestnut and lily soup <br/>Prepare 30 grams of water chestnuts, clean and mash them, then prepare a pear and appropriate lilies. Clean the pear, chop and remove the core, and wash the lilies, mix the three together, put them in clean water and cook, add crystal sugar when they are almost cooked, and take them while they are hot after the water chestnuts and lilies are cooked. Water chestnuts have an inhibitory effect on bacteria in the child's body, and pears and lilies can moisten the lungs and relieve coughs. Taking the three together can naturally achieve the effects of nourishing yin and moistening dryness, resolving phlegm and relieving coughs.

3. Steamed pear with Fritillaria cirrhosa <br/>Prepare 6 grams of Fritillaria cirrhosa and a duck pear, remove the core and hollow out the duck pear, then put the powdered Fritillaria cirrhosa in it, add appropriate amount of rock sugar and water, and steam it in a bowl for half an hour. This method can relieve the symptoms of long-term cough in children, and can also help them remove phlegm and relieve dry throat.

4. Lily and Coltsfoot Flower Drink <br/>Prepare 30 grams of lily and 15 grams of coltsfoot flower, put them in a casserole and boil them into syrup and then drink. Lily and Coltsfoot Flower Drink can relieve bronchiectasis in children and reduce bronchospasm. It is very suitable for children with long-term cough in autumn and winter.
