1. Drink more hot drinks: The most common way to treat a cough is to drink more hot water, but many children are reluctant to drink hot water. At this time, you can give them some warm drinks such as hot milk, hot juice or hot rice soup. This can not only dilute the phlegm in the throat and make it discharged, but also make children like to drink more. However, it should be noted that if you give your child fruit juice, it is best to choose apple juice or pear juice instead of orange juice.
