Cold and cough are very common diseases in children. If you have a cough, you must treat it in time, otherwise it may cause more serious consequences. So what should you do if your child has a cold and cough? You should pay attention to rest, use medicine properly, fry eggs with vinegar, etc., but you also need to relieve it according to the child's situation. Let's analyze it together.

1. Pay attention to rest <br/>When children have a cold and cough, they must pay more attention to rest. The younger the child, the more they need rest. You can increase the time for activities after the cough symptoms gradually improve.
2. Rational use of medicines <br/>When children have a cold or cough, you must use medicines rationally. Do not blindly use antibiotics. Try to use antiviral drugs instead, because most children's colds are caused by viruses. Not only do you need to use medicines rationally under the guidance of a professional doctor, but you also cannot stop taking medicines at will.
After the child takes the medicine, the symptoms begin to ease or disappear, but the pathogenic bacteria in the body may still exist at this time. Once the medication is stopped, it will cause reinfection and even other complications. Therefore, the medication cannot be stopped blindly and must be used reasonably.

3. Fried eggs with vinegar <br/>In clinical practice, fried eggs with vinegar have significant effects on treating cough. The specific method is: first take an egg, then stir it evenly in a bowl, then prepare an appropriate amount of rice vinegar and put it in the pot, put the egg in after boiling, fry it, and when the egg is almost cooked, add an appropriate amount of white sugar, then you can remove from the pan, wait until it cools down a little and then you can eat it, eat it once in the morning and evening, generally eating it twice can significantly relieve cough. If it is a more serious cough, it can be cured in about three days.

4. Eat more nuts <br/>When children cough, you can let them eat some nuts. Nuts can suppress coughs. Eating nuts can appropriately relieve coughing.
5. Pay attention to observation <br/>When a child is coughing, parents should always pay attention to the child's physical condition. If the child's cough lasts for a long time and does not improve, it is necessary to go to the hospital for relevant examinations in time to avoid adverse effects.
