What to do if a baby coughs? Dietary treatment for a baby cough

In winter, the indoor temperature is high, but the outdoor temperature is low. If babies are often stimulated by the hot and cold temperatures, they are prone to colds and coughs. However, it is very difficult to take medicine when babies cough. So what should we do when babies cough?

1. Drink rock sugar pear water

Because pears have a good effect of moistening the lungs, reducing phlegm and relieving coughs, when babies have coughing symptoms, you can boil water with rock sugar and pears for the baby to drink, which can effectively relieve coughs. However, you should pay attention to the fact that the pears cannot be peeled when boiling rock sugar and pear water, and the boiling time must be more than 40 minutes to achieve the effect. You can also add rock sugar and Sichuan Fritillaria to snow pears and steam them in a pot, and let the baby eat the pears and drink the juice, which also has a good cough-relieving effect.

2. Drink three-bean drink

This cough relieving recipe was left by the ancient famous doctor Bian Que. It is made by boiling red beans, mung beans and black beans into soup, and then adding some rock sugar at the end. Letting the baby eat the beans and drink the soup can have a good effect of clearing heat and relieving cough, and it can also improve the baby's body immunity.

3. Drink more warm water

When a baby coughs, his throat will often become red, swollen and painful. Some babies still have a lot of phlegm in their throats that needs to be discharged, so at this time you should drink more warm water to dilute the phlegm in the throat and promote the discharge of phlegm as soon as possible, which can effectively relieve cough symptoms.

4. Drink tangerine peel water

When your baby has a cough, you can boil tangerine peel with water and let your baby drink it as a beverage. Tangerine peel water is very good for relieving cough, reducing phlegm and aiding digestion.

5. Drink radish honey water

Radish has good ventilation, heat-clearing and blood-cooling effects, and honey water has the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, so boil water with white radish, and then add appropriate amount of honey for the baby to drink. It has a certain effect on colds, but it should be noted that this method is not suitable for babies under one year old to relieve cough, because babies under one year old may suffer from poisoning reactions when eating honey.

6. Edible vinegar

When your baby coughs, you can boil the vinegar, wait for it to cool down, and then let your baby drink a small spoonful. You can drink it in small amounts several times a day, which can effectively reduce inflammation and swelling.

7. Garlic water

You can choose two or three cloves of garlic and smash them, add a little rock sugar and half a bowl of water, boil them over high heat first, then steam them in water for about 15 minutes. Let your baby take it, it is very effective for cold and cough.

8. Water Chestnut and Lily Soup

Water chestnuts can promote salivation and quench thirst, cool blood and remove blood stasis. Lilies can clear the heart and moisten the lungs, calm the mind and relieve coughs. Snow pears can moisten dryness and relieve coughs. So when your baby has a cough, add water chestnuts, lilies, rock sugar, and snow pears and cook them until they become thick and let him eat them. This will have a good cough-relieving effect.
