What should I do if my child keeps coughing?

When children are always coughing, they can be treated with cough suppressants and phlegm-reducing drugs, or they can alleviate the condition through food therapy methods such as lily honey, honey egg soup, radish honey, roasted oranges, and rock sugar pear water; drinking more boiled water and staying away from allergic substances can also help alleviate the condition.

Because children have poor resistance, they are prone to coughing due to a cold when the temperature drops; if the weather is dry, children usually drink less water, and they will also cough due to internal heat. If the cough lasts for a long time, pneumonia or bronchitis may be coughed up, so timely treatment is needed. So, what should we do if children keep coughing?
1. Drug treatment for children's cough <br/>When children cough repeatedly but have no phlegm or eat less phlegm, you can let the children drink some children's cough syrup, children's cough and phlegm granules and other drugs to relieve the condition. If there is a lot of phlegm when coughing, ambroxol can also be used for treatment, but do not blindly let children use antibiotics to avoid affecting their physical health and development.
2. Diet therapy for children's cough
1. Lily honey <br/>Wash and dry the lilies, mix them with honey, and steam them to make lily honey. If the child's cough is caused by getting angry, eating lily honey regularly can relieve the condition.
2. Honey and egg soup <br/>Add appropriate amount of honey to water and boil, then beat in eggs and boil, then you can eat it. It has certain effects on long-term cough and frequent dry cough. Children can also eat some of this food to relieve cough.
3. Radish and honey drink <br/>Add radish slices, ginger slices and jujube to water, boil for 30 minutes, remove the residue and keep the juice, then add appropriate amount of honey and boil again. Regular consumption of radish and honey drink has a certain effect on cough symptoms caused by colds.
4. Roast oranges <br/>Roast the oranges over low heat until the peel turns black and the oranges are steaming. Let your children eat the warm orange segments, 2 to 3 segments each time. Eating two oranges a day can relieve cough symptoms caused by colds.
5. Rock sugar and pear water <br/>If the cough symptoms are caused by dry weather, you can let your child drink rock sugar and pear water, which can also relieve the cough symptoms.
3. Care for children’s cough
1. Drink more warm water <br/>Because drinking more warm water can dilute phlegm and facilitate coughing up phlegm. Drinking more water can also promote urination, which is beneficial to the excretion of viruses in the body. Therefore, drinking more water when you cough will help alleviate the condition.
2. Stay away from allergic substances <br/>Sometimes children’s cough may be caused by allergic reactions such as contact with pollen, inhalation of dust mites, etc., so it is necessary to reduce contact with these allergic substances that may cause coughing, which is also helpful for relieving cough.
