What can children eat to cure cough and sputum? What are the two common symptoms of children coughing and sputum?

Children with cough and phlegm should choose the right ingredients according to their symptoms to effectively relieve the symptoms. For example, if a child has a cough and phlegm caused by wind-cold, they can eat more white radish soup, roasted oranges, scallion porridge, etc. to dispel cold and relieve cough; if a child has a cough and phlegm caused by wind-heat, they can eat more Sichuan fritillaria and snow pear, duck pear porridge, water chestnuts, etc. to moisten the lungs and clear phlegm.

Children are prone to coughing in autumn and winter. Due to their young age, they are unable to cough up phlegm in time, which causes a large amount of phlegm to accumulate in the body and aggravates the symptoms. At this time, parents not only hope to cure the disease as soon as possible through medication, but also hope to relieve the discomfort caused by long-term coughing through dietary therapy. So, what should children eat to cure their cough and phlegm quickly?

Since there are many reasons for children to have cough symptoms, different types of coughs require different dietary ingredients. Parents can choose the following foods according to their children's symptoms:

1. Coughing with a lot of sputum and thin sputum

This symptom is a cough caused by cold. Drinking more white radish soup can effectively reduce phlegm. If children don't like the taste of soup, add a few crystal sugars to neutralize it. In addition, oranges roasted over low heat and scallion porridge made from scallion and rice can also play a significant role in dispelling cold, relieving cough and reducing phlegm.

2. Coughing with a lot of sputum and the sputum is thick and yellow

This kind of cough is caused by wind-heat. You can eat more steamed Sichuan Fritillary and Snow Pear with rock sugar, white porridge stewed with duck pears, soup made from water chestnuts and stewed water chestnuts, all of which can moisten the lungs, clear phlegm and relieve cough.

In addition to the above foods, parents should also ensure that their children have a light diet and increase their daily water intake by drinking small amounts of water more often, which can also effectively dilute sputum. In addition, they should avoid eating puffed foods or snacks that are too salty to aggravate the condition. It should also be noted that although the above ingredients can effectively relieve the symptoms of children's cough and sputum, if the symptoms are severe and cannot be cured quickly, it is recommended to use this method to assist drug treatment to achieve a better treatment effect.

The above is a detailed introduction to the dietary therapy methods that can be used for children with cough and sputum. I hope it will be helpful to parents. In addition to choosing treatment and drug treatment methods, parents should also ensure that the children live in an environment with good air circulation and air humidity, which can also help relieve their symptoms of cough and sputum.
