How to treat a child's cough?

Children have weak physical resistance and are prone to persistent coughing. At this time, parents need to provide general care, such as patting their children's backs to maintain appropriate indoor temperature and humidity. They can also provide dietary care, such as stewing mushrooms with pear juice and boiling white radish in water.

Coughing is a common disease in life, especially for children. Some children cough for a long time, and the cough is intermittent and never gets better, which makes parents very anxious. In this case, parents should adjust and treat their children as soon as possible. So what should we do if children's coughs are not getting better?

1. General care for children with persistent cough

1. Pat your child on the back more often

If your child has phlegm in his throat, you can try to pat his back to get rid of the phlegm. When your child is coughing violently, you can hold him in your arms, with his upper body at a 45-degree angle, and then gently pat his back with your hands. This will loosen the sticky secretions adhering to the trachea and make it easier to cough out. As long as these secretions are coughed out, the child's coughing symptoms will be alleviated.

2. Maintain appropriate room temperature and humidity

If the child is always coughing, parents should also pay attention to the indoor temperature adjustment. The temperature should not be too cold or too hot, generally between 20 and 26 degrees. In addition, the room should be ventilated to ensure air circulation, and pay attention to appropriate adjustment. If necessary, a humidifier can be used appropriately.

2. Dietary care for children with persistent cough

1. Stewed mushrooms with pear juice

Pears can moisten the lungs and cool the heart, and can also clear away heat and eliminate phlegm. The double-stranded sugar nucleic acid contained in mushrooms has the effect of killing viruses in the body. Stewing mushrooms with pear juice can effectively relieve cough symptoms and eliminate the infection that causes cough. The preparation method is very simple. You need to prepare 4 pears, peel and slice them, and then squeeze them into juice. Then wash and slice the mushrooms, stew them with pear juice, and add an appropriate amount of rock sugar. After cooking, you can eat it and take it twice a day, morning and evening.

2. Boil white radish in water

Boiling white radish in water can also effectively relieve children's persistent coughing symptoms. First, you need to prepare a few fresh white radishes, cut half of the radish into slices every night, and then boil it with clean water. After it is cooked, filter out the water with a teacup or small bowl, and then drink it after it cools down a little. Drink it for a few days in a row, and the symptoms of cough can be easily relieved.
