What to do if your child has a cough and fever

When a child has a cough and fever, you can reasonably use anti-inflammatory drugs, cough suppressants and expectorants, antipyretics and other drugs to relieve the condition; you can also relieve the condition by eating more Sichuan Fritillary Bulbs and Snow Pear, Tremella and Lily Soup, Mung Bean Soup and other dietary therapies; letting the child drink more water and rest more will also help the condition recover as soon as possible.

Children have relatively poor resistance. If parents do not take good care of their children, they may develop diseases such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, colds, etc. At this time, the children may have symptoms of coughing and fever. If they are not treated in time, they may induce bronchitis, pneumonia, etc., which is very harmful to the health of the children. So, what should we do if our children have coughs and fevers?
1. Drug treatment for cough and fever
1. Anti-inflammatory drugs: Because diseases such as tonsillitis, pharyngitis, tracheitis, pneumonia, etc. may cause symptoms of cough and fever, once a child has a cough and fever, he should go to the hospital for examination in time. If it is confirmed that it is caused by such diseases, some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory drugs should be used for treatment. When the condition improves, the symptoms of cough and fever will also be relieved.
2. Cough suppressants and expectorants: If the child's cough symptoms are not particularly severe, but there is a lot of sputum, you can use expectorants such as Mucosolvan. Do not use cough suppressants blindly. If the cough is severe and has affected your life and sleep, you can use cough suppressants such as dextromethorphan to relieve the condition.
3. Antipyretics: If the child's body temperature has exceeded 38.5 degrees, antipyretics can be used under the guidance of a doctor to prevent excessive temperature rise and affect brain development. Commonly used antipyretics for children include acetaminophen, ibuprofen, etc.
2. Diet therapy to relieve cough and fever
1. Fritillaria and pear: If the child has wind-heat cough and yellow sputum, you can boil duck pear, Fritillaria, Platycodon grandiflorum in water, and finally add appropriate amount of rock sugar and drink it warm. Regular consumption can effectively relieve cough and reduce phlegm.
2. Tremella and lily soup: If your child has a dry cough all the time, you can give him some tremella and lily soup to clear away heat, moisten the lungs and relieve cough.
3. Mung bean soup: Because mung bean soup has the effect of clearing heat and detoxifying, when a child has a fever, you can boil the mung beans, take the mung bean soup, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and drink it, which is helpful in reducing fever.
3. Daily care for children with cough and fever
1. Drink more water: When children have coughs and fever, they should drink more water to promote the excretion of toxins in the body, which is also helpful for alleviating the condition.
