What to do if a child has a long cough

Although cough is a very common disease in children, because children have weak resistance, they are prone to cough. However, long-term cough has certain adverse effects on children. Many parents do not know how to relieve the symptoms of their children's long-term cough. Therefore, they are very troubled. In fact, in addition to drug treatment, there are many things to pay attention to in daily living habits, especially in the diet of three meals a day.

The illness of children is the most worrying thing for parents. Sometimes children are always weak and the disease always recurs and cannot be completely cured. Especially cough, every time the child is sick, the whole family must be prepared for a protracted battle, because they have to observe the condition at all times. So what should we do if the child has a long-term cough?
If the cause is wind-heat, boil radish and rock sugar juice for the child, because if the cough is caused by wind-heat, there will definitely be thick nasal discharge, and phlegm if the cough lasts for a long time. So if you observe the child's tongue coating at this time, the color is also abnormal, and some are red. In addition to giving the baby medicine at ordinary times, stewing soup for the child is also a very good home method. You can give the baby to drink it before going to bed every time. If you persist for a few days, it will work.
For the symptoms of phlegm-heat cough, you can take winter melon and brown sugar water. The specific method is: add a small amount of brown sugar to the washed, peeled and diced winter melon, mash the winter melon and brown sugar, and then drink it with boiling water. Take it twice a day for several consecutive days, and the symptoms of cough will be significantly improved. For phlegm-damp cough, parents can make orange peel porridge for their children. The method is very simple. Wash 30 grams of fresh orange peel and cut it into shreds, put it in a pot with 100 grams of rice, add water and cook it into porridge, and then give it to the child. After eating it several times, it can have the effect of relieving cough.
Get more rest. When your child is coughing, don't let him do strenuous exercise or run around. The more he exercises, the faster his breathing will be, and the cough will definitely become more severe. And if the baby's mood is unstable at this time, it will also aggravate the condition. So in addition to paying more attention to diet, you should also restrict your rest.
Pay special attention to keeping the child warm. Coughing often occurs repeatedly, and the most important thing is to prevent the child from catching a cold. This is very helpful in treating coughs, especially when the weather gets cooler and the temperature difference between morning and evening is huge. Add clothes to the child in time.
