The other day, I received a private message from a mother who said that as long as the season changes, her children will always cough non-stop, I believe many parents are confused about it! In fact, in addition to using medication to relieve your child's cough, the best thing to do is to pay attention to daily care. So when a child has a long cough, what can be done to alleviate it?
1. Drink hot drinks to relieve cough
Giving your child more hot water can make the sticky sputum in the mouth thinner, easier to drain the throat, and reduce the discomfort of the throat. It is best to give your child warm boiling water, it is not recommended to drink cold fruits such as orange juice and grapefruit juice, which will not only not improve cough, but also likely to aggravate your child's cough.
2. Holding room temperature
When the child coughs for a long time, it is necessary to always maintain the temperature and humidity of the room, to open the window in time for ventilation, when the weather is relatively dry room, you can use the humidifier to maintain the humidity of the room.
When the child is coughing violently, you can take the child to the bathroom full of steam for steam wetting, which can moisturize the dry throat and relieve the cough.
3. Diet therapy relieves cough
In addition to the above two points, parents can also try to eat some lung-moisturizing and cough-relieving foods to relieve the baby's cough. For example, lilies, white fungus, white pear, etc. These have the effect of nourishing the yin and moisturizing the lungs, supplementing the yin of the lungs, clearing the lung heat, and having a certain effect on cough caused by the dry climate in spring.
In response to seasonal cough, in addition to the above points, parents still need to pay attention to a light diet, do not eat more sweet, spicy and other foods, and usually pay attention to a balanced diet.
