What should an eight-month-old baby eat to cure a cough with phlegm? What complementary food is better for an eight-month-old baby with a cough?

If your baby has a cough and phlegm, you need to take medicine to treat it, so that you can recover as soon as possible. You can choose Qingfei Zhike Huatan Granules, Jizhi Syrup, Chuanbei Loquat Dew and other medicines. At the same time, you can also relieve it through diet therapy, such as rock sugar and snow pear is a good choice. In addition, mothers can also help babies expectorate by patting their backs.

Every baby's cough is very annoying, and the mother will be anxious and angry. Especially when there is phlegm, the baby will be more painful. Because the baby's coughing ability is limited, it is not easy to expel phlegm through coughing, so the mother needs to make more efforts. So, what should an eight-month-old baby eat to get better quickly when he coughs and has phlegm?
The resistance of babies is relatively weak, and it is not effective to rely solely on diet therapy to solve coughs, especially when coughing with phlegm, timely medication is needed to get better quickly. It is recommended that mothers give babies some Chinese patent medicines such as Qingfei Zhike Huatan Granules, Jizhi Syrup, Chuanbei Loquat Dew, etc. These medicines are effective and can effectively relieve coughs and resolve phlegm. However, the ingredients of each medicine are different, and there will inevitably be some side effects. Therefore, it is recommended that mothers choose medicines for their babies under the guidance of a doctor.
Babies of eight months old can already eat some complementary foods, which can also relieve cough symptoms. It is best to choose some foods that have both expectorant and cough-relieving effects, so that the conditioning effect will be better. For example, rock sugar snow pear is a kind of complementary food that is very suitable for eating when coughing, and eight-month-old babies can also eat it. First wash the snow pear and cut the top, then use a spoon to dig out the core of the pear, then add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, change the top cover and steam it in a pot. Steam for about twenty minutes. After taking it out of the pot, give the baby the snow pear pulp and the rock sugar juice inside to relieve the symptoms of coughing and phlegm.
In addition to medication and diet therapy, mothers also need to do some special care for their babies. During this period, you should feed your baby an appropriate amount of boiled water to help dilute the phlegm. In order to loosen the phlegm, you can also pat your baby's back frequently. If you want your baby to lie on your legs, then tap the back gently with your hollow palms. Pay attention to the strength, so as not to hurt the baby, but not too light. If you insist on patting the back for ten minutes every day, the phlegm will slowly loosen, which is more conducive to the baby's self-discharge.
