As soon as the baby coughs, the parents are eager to have some panacea, tons and tons of tons to stop coughing. At this time, the "ancestral" folk remedies of mothers-in-law and mothers will shine: stewed pear soup, stewed kumquat, boiled onion white... "no side effects, better than taking medicine."
Then the whole family is mobilized: buy ingredients, open the fire to stew, coax the baby to drink, and then wait expectantly to stop coughing. Do these remedies work?
Those "ancestral" folk remedies:
Xiao Nan did a small survey in the group, and the highest number of votes was these 5 "ancestral" folk remedies (see if there is your family).
1, Sichuan shellfish stewed pear: the upper end of the pear cut, dig out the pear core, put in about 3 grams of Sichuan shellfish powder, and then cover the upper end of the pear, put the whole pear in a bowl, add water to the steamer and steam for 30 minutes, even the pear with soup to eat together.
2, green onion white water: take the white part of the green onion (it is best to cook together with the green onion), boil and simmer for 20 minutes on low heat, only drink water.
3, rock sugar stewed kumquat: seven or eight small kumquat flat, add a few rock sugar in the bowl, steam out the juice through the water, you can eat it all, do not like to eat kumquat only drink that little juice.
4, brown sugar ginger: add water to a pot of stew, it is best to drink before noon.
5, loquat leaves: first use a small brush under the flowing water to brush the fluff of the loquat leaves clean, and then add water to stew, you can also add pears, rock sugar and so on.
Do folk remedies work?
The mothers in the Xiaonan group quarreled over this: useful VS useless VS drinking anyway, there is no harm, someone will drink.
First of all, these ingredients themselves, more or less have a little heat, lungs and other effects, to a certain extent, can still alleviate some of the symptoms of cold and cough, but want to rely on them to relieve cough or even replace drugs, unrealistic.
Take the top 1 pear:
1, people are just fruit, itself does not have the effect of cough, no matter what stew is added, it can not change the essence of the fruit, but after the processing of the home remedy, it will be better to drink / have psychological comfort, the baby is easy to accept, in fact, in essence, and drink more warm boiled water is the same as the drop - warm liquid helps to dilute the discharge of secretions, relieve cough and throat pain.
2, 6 months ago the baby, complementary food has not yet tasted it, do not drink pear soup to eat pears, not to mention honey.
In fact, the biggest effect of these folk remedies of mothers-in-law and mothers is to make the family harmonious (the elderly are relieved).
These are more effective than folk remedies:
1, all kinds of home remedies tons tons to ton down, the baby is still severe cough or long-term cough, get, or go to the hospital.
2, compared to drinking soup and water, when coughing, make sure that the baby's diet is light, eat nutritious and easy to digest food is more reliable, too sweet and salty, too greasy and too irritating food are standing on the side, cold drinks, snacks are also leisurely.
3, the home to maintain air circulation, less to go to the closed space of more people, of course, do not infect other small pot friends.
4. If the drug is prescribed or needs to be atomized, 3 words: follow the doctor's instructions.
Home remedies are not omnipotent, generally functional, and greatly comforting, in short, according to the specific symptoms of the baby (and the relationship between family members), I also wish the baby health!
