Children at home have been coughing all the time, and they are unwilling to take medicine. Many parents will stew a bowl of Chuanbei Sydney for their children, which tastes sweet and can relieve cough. However, there are many kinds of cough in Chinese medicine. If you give your child a bowl of Chuanbei Sydney indiscriminately, it may have the opposite effect. So can a child cough and eat stewed Sydney with Chuanbei?

Cough can be divided into dry cough and wet cough. The so-called dry cough is caused by too dry air, which is more common in autumn and winter in the north. Dry cough is mainly dry and astringent, and the sputum is very sticky, like drawing, which is not easy to spit out. Sometimes, when you cough badly, blood can be entrained in the sputum.

The wet cough is mainly turbid and sticky, generally with cold phlegm or wet phlegm, with thin sputum and foam after spitting. People with wet phlegm are usually accompanied by weakness of the spleen and stomach, greasy and slippery tongue coating, and easy abdominal distension and diarrhea.

In addition, some patients cough for a long time, choking without phlegm, and taking cough medicine is not getting better, which may be due to allergic cough caused by wind.

Chuanbei Sydney is suitable for dry cough.

Sydney tastes sweet and cold, and has nourishing effect; Bulbus Fritillariae Cirrhosae is also cool and has obvious cough relieving effect. In addition to relieving cough, Chuanbei Sydney can also moisten the lungs. If the child has a dry cough, no phlegm or less phlegm, and dry lips, it is feasible to eat a little stewed Sydney with Chuanbei to nourish yin and moisten the lungs. However, if the child has a wet cough and cold phlegm in his lungs, eating Chuanbei Sydney at this time will aggravate the sputum, hurt the spleen and stomach, and aggravate the condition.

For wet cough, you can make tea with orange peel. If there is cold in your body, you should soak it in ginger. If you have an allergic cough, it's okay to eat a little Chuanbei Sydney, but it may have no practical effect and can only be used as an auxiliary function.

Children who don't cough often will get better soon if they have an acute cough. If the cough suddenly worsens, you should go to the hospital in time. When the cough persists for several months, it is best to use traditional Chinese medicine to regulate this chronic cough.
