When the water temperature of the garlic in the bowl is hot, feed it to the children, and garlic can be eaten without it. Usually 2 ~ 3 times a day, a small bowl. Garlic is warm and enters the spleen and stomach and lung meridians. It has a very good effect on treating cold cough and kidney deficiency cough, and it is convenient and simple, and children are willing to drink it.

Baked oranges

Bake the orange directly on a small fire and turn it constantly until the orange peel turns black and hot air comes out of the orange. When the orange is a little cooler, peel it off and let the children eat warm orange petals. If it is a big orange, children can eat 2 ~ 3 petals at a time. If it's little Gong Ju, the children can eat one at a time. It is best to take it with garlic water, 2 ~ 3 times a day. Oranges are warm and have the effect of resolving phlegm and relieving cough.

Second, what is a cold and cough?

Cough due to wind-cold is one of the diseases that wind-cold attacks the body and damages the respiratory system.

Wind-cold cough is a syndrome name of traditional Chinese medicine, and it is also a main syndrome type of exogenous cough. It is a cough caused by cold feeling and lung failure. Clinically, severe cough, itchy throat, aversion to cold and no sweat, headache or fever, and even shortness of breath can be seen.

There is no concept of cold cough in western medicine. Western medicine believes that cough is a protective respiratory reflex action to remove respiratory secretions or foreign bodies. Although it has its advantages, severe and long-term cough can lead to respiratory bleeding.

What is the cause of cold and cough?

Chinese medicine believes that wind-cold cough is caused by wind-cold invading the body. Especially when the weather is cold and hot alternately, wind-cold is more likely to invade the human body and cause cough.

Western medicine believes that cough is a protective measure for human body. When the respiratory mucosa is stimulated by foreign bodies, inflammation, secretions or allergic factors, it causes cough reflexively, which helps to eliminate foreign bodies or secretions invading the respiratory tract from the outside and eliminate respiratory stimulating factors.

Third, how to treat the baby's cold and cough?

At present, common drugs for treating cough on the market, such as Chuanbei loquat powder and Li Qiang loquat dew, are not suitable for cold and cough. Wind-cold cough should be mainly based on expelling wind and cold, dispersing lung and relieving cough.

It should be treated by dispelling cold, dispersing lung and relieving cough. It is important to promote the excretion of sputum in trachea and reduce the secretion in trachea. You can choose to add and subtract San 'ao Decoction. Take 3 grams of Herba Ephedrae and Glycyrrhrizae Radix, 5 grams of Semen Armeniacae Amarum, Herba Schizonepetae, Radix Peucedani, Radix Platycodi, Fructus Perillae, Rhizoma Fagopyri Preparata, Pericarpium Citri Tangerinae, Ramulus Cinnamomi, Radix Stemonae and Rhizoma Cynanchi Stauntonii, and decoct with water, daily 1 dose. Chinese patent medicine can choose Su Xing cough syrup and Xiaoqinglong oral liquid.

There are many reasons for coughing, such as hot cough, cold cough, cold cough and internal injury cough. Therefore, Chinese patent medicines for relieving cough can also be divided into cold, hot, warm and cold, and the curative effect of relieving cough can not be achieved without the right medicine. For example, Chuanbei Zhike Dew and Li Qiang Loquat Dew are cold and not suitable for people with cold cough.

Many people think that coughing can pass without treatment. In fact, if you don't get timely and effective treatment in the early stage of cough, it is easy to make cough happen frequently, leading to sore throat, hoarseness and chest pain. For colds and coughs, we need to pay enough attention and take reasonable drug treatment in time.

Fourth, how to care for the baby's cold and cough?

1, pay attention to rest at ordinary times, strengthen exercise, pay attention to safety in cold season, and don't go to crowded public places to avoid infection. Keep the indoor air circulating and avoid the stimulation of gas, dust and smoke.

2. If you have symptoms of wind-cold and cold, take timely measures or go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment to prevent the wind-cold cough from getting worse. In the early stage of cold cough, convergent antitussive drugs should not be used. If misused, it can cause lung qi stagnation, and exogenous pathogenic factors can not reach the outside, but it will cause chronic cough, which is difficult to heal for a long time.

3. When coughing, the rapid airflow takes away the moisture in the respiratory tract, resulting in water shortage in the mucosa. Pay attention to drinking more water and eating more fruits for children.

4, drink more warm drinks can make the baby sticky and thin, relieve the tension of respiratory mucosa and promote sputum discharge.

It is best to let the baby drink warm boiled water or warm milk, rice soup, etc. You can also give your baby freshly squeezed juice. The juice should be apple juice and pear juice with less irritation. It is not advisable to drink orange juice, grapefruit juice and other citrus juices.

6. For children in allergic cough, dust mites, dust, cat and dog hair, mold spores or cockroach secretions at home can all cause allergic cough.
