If they cough, they will be given strong antitussive drugs, although the cough will be temporarily stopped, but the cilia epithelial cells on the tracheal mucosa will be transported.

After taking it, syrup adheres to the pharyngeal mucosa, which weakens the stimulation to the mucosa and can achieve the purpose of relieving cough itself. Do not dilute it with water or take it with water.

Cold starts from the soles of the feet. Because the foot is far away from the heart, the blood supply is relatively less, while the subcutaneous fat of children is less, and the warm-keeping function is relatively poor. In addition, the development of children's nervous system is not very sound, so the foot has poor cold-proof ability and is easy to catch cold.
4.3. Strengthen physical exercise.
Outdoor sports can promote the development of lung function, increase vital capacity and enhance the defense ability of respiratory tract.
