Second, no matter what kind of cough, you need to drink more water. Drinking water helps metabolism, especially in autumn, when the climate is dry, and drinking water can moisten the respiratory tract. But don't drink cold water or too hot water, it has a * * effect on the respiratory tract, and warm water is the best.
Third, the diet is light. When you have a cold, you should not eat fried, spicy (including onion, ginger, garlic), cool and other foods, because it will cause respiratory infections. There are foods such as seafood that can't be eaten, because seafood contains high protein, which will increase sputum in respiratory tract.
Fourth, use cough medicine with caution. It was previously exposed on TV that a well-known brand of cough syrup contained codeine. Although this substance can play a role in calming and relieving cough, it is also addictive and cannot be taken for a long time, otherwise it will be difficult to quit. Especially children, don't take it. Gancao tablets also have antitussive effect, but they are also easy to become addicted, so although they are over-the-counter drugs, you must follow the doctor's advice.
Five, phlegm can't stop coughing. Many people regard it as a dry cough, whether it is a dry cough or a wet cough-taking cough medicine, which is very wrong. Cough and expectoration are to remove bacteria and viruses from the respiratory tract. In this way, taking cough medicine is equivalent to ending this defensive behavior, and sputum with all kinds of garbage will flow back to the respiratory tract. Then people who take medicine will wonder why my cough has been getting better. If you have phlegm, you must resolve it. Wait until the sputum is basically no longer produced. If you still cough, and this cough has seriously affected your normal life, it is recommended to take cough medicine.
6. Anti-inflammatory drugs are not necessary. Many people want to take anti-inflammatory drugs as soon as they have a cold and cough, thinking that they will get well soon. But in fact, most colds are caused by viruses, so you should take antiviral drugs. Only with bacterial infection, such as pus and phlegm, do you need to take anti-inflammatory drugs.
Question 2: Cough with phlegm, how to treat it? Phlegm is the secretion of airway inflammation. As long as there is inflammation, there is usually phlegm. The child coughs with phlegm. Because I am still young, I can't expectorate, which makes my parents very anxious. Therefore, finding a suitable way to relieve cough and eliminate phlegm can help children get rid of diseases. To relieve cough and resolve phlegm, Chinese patent medicines containing licorice, ephedra and platycodon grandiflorum can be used. Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch can tonify spleen and qi, and zi can moisten lung, which can be interpreted in different seasons and blended with hundreds of drugs. Ephedra can have certain expectorant effect; Platycodon grandiflorum has the effects of clearing away heat, relieving sore throat and resolving phlegm. The commonly used medicine containing these ingredients is Xiaoer Feire Kechuan Oral Liquid, which can not only effectively eliminate phlegm and relieve cough, but also promote the secretion of pharyngeal and bronchial mucosa, making it easy to cough up when thick phlegm is diluted. It is the first choice for children to relieve cough and resolve phlegm. You can eat more fruits such as pears, oranges and Siraitia grosvenorii every day, which has a certain effect on adjuvant treatment of cough and phlegm.
Question 3: How is cough with phlegm? At this time, coughing is a manifestation of the body's active response to the disease. By coughing, the sputum in the lower respiratory tract can be coughed up, thus reducing the invasion of pathogenic factors on the respiratory tract. So, in a sense, coughing is beneficial. However, if cough is mainly due to congestion and edema of airway mucosa, or because of long-term cough, the cough center is in a state of high excitement for a long time, then cough becomes a negative factor for the body. Causes of Cough with Phlegm Most children cough is caused by upper respiratory tract or trachea and bronchus infection, including virus and bacterial infection, often accompanied by symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose, sore throat and fever. In addition, sinusitis, bronchial foreign bodies, tuberculosis and myocarditis may also be the causes of cough. Because the causes of cough are complex and varied, coughing has advantages and disadvantages. It is not easy to solve the problem simply by taking cough medicine. It is necessary to analyze the primary factors of cough and use drugs reasonably according to the cause in order to get good results. Some parents rush to give their children cough medicine and antibiotics as soon as they see their children coughing, which is wrong. Children's acute cough, even if it is caused by respiratory infection, is mostly caused by viral infection, and antibiotics are only effective for bacterial infection. Moreover, long-term repeated use of antibiotics may also lead to adverse drug reactions and drug resistance. This is why sometimes very "advanced" antibiotics are difficult to cure cough. Treating children's cough with central antitussive drugs with caution. It is generally not appropriate to take central antitussive drugs. From the physiological characteristics, infants' respiratory system is immature, airway lumen is narrow, blood vessels are abundant, cough reflex and ciliary movement are poor, and sputum is not easy to be discharged. If you use powerful cough medicine as soon as you cough, although the cough stops temporarily, the sputum transport function of ciliated epithelial cells on tracheal mucosa and the contraction and peristalsis function of bronchial smooth muscle are inhibited, so that sputum can not be discharged smoothly. A large amount of sputum accumulates in trachea and bronchus, which affects respiratory function, promotes the progress of the disease and aggravates infection. How long does it take for cough to recover from upper respiratory tract or trachea or bronchus infection? After regular treatment and aftercare, it usually takes 1 ~ 3 weeks to recover basically. If the cough persists, or it is mild or severe, and the course of disease exceeds 3 weeks, we should pay attention to whether there is the possibility of cough variant asthma. This disease is more common in children in recent years, with cough as the main manifestation, but it belongs to the pathogenesis of asthma, especially at night. In this case, it is necessary to make a clear diagnosis before taking measures. Respiratory diseases are a major category of diseases that plague human beings. Long-term recurrent attacks will affect normal life and become a health hazard, so regular physical examination is necessary.
Question 4: It is very simple for adults to cough with phlegm for a long time. You can choose from the diet, remember not to eat too much hot food, such as meat, fish, shrimp, crabs and other high-protein foods. If you are allergic to seafood, bamboo shoots, eggs, fish and tropical fruits, avoid eating them.
Avoid food such as pepper and garlic when coughing. Most people are very sensitive to cough caused by food.
It is not advisable to eat cold food, such as watermelon, ice cream and other fruits, which will aggravate the cold in the body and stop coughing.
Also, you can choose to drink at any time, which is very convenient.
Question 5: Is there a diet therapy for cough with phlegm?
First of all, we should distinguish between exogenous cough and internal cough.
Cough can be divided into exogenous cough and internal injury cough, and exogenous cough can be divided into wind-cold cough and wind-heat cough. Different types of cough drugs are completely different, and the methods of diet therapy are also different. Here is a simple way to distinguish, that is, to observe the tongue coating. If the tongue coating is white, it is a cold and cough, indicating that the cold is heavy, the cough phlegm is thin and white, and it is also stuffy and runny. At this time, you should eat some food that warms up phlegm and relieves cough. If the tongue coating is yellow and red, it is wind-heat cough, indicating that the internal heat is large, the cough phlegm is yellow and thick, it is not easy to cough up, and there is sore throat. At this time, you should eat some foods that clear lung, resolve phlegm and relieve cough.
Cough caused by internal injuries is mostly chronic and recurrent. At this time, parents should pay attention to give their children some foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, tonify the kidney and replenish the lung. The specific method is as follows:
colds cough
1. Ginger+brown sugar+garlic caught a cold. Drinking warm ginger and brown sugar water can play a very good role in diet therapy. If you have a cough at the same time, you can add 2 ~ 3 cloves of garlic to ginger brown sugar water and cook together. It takes 10 minutes to boil out the spicy taste of garlic, so that children can drink it.
2. Steam garlic water Take 2 ~ 3 cloves of garlic, mash them, put them in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, add a crystal sugar, cover the bowl and steam them in a pot. After the fire boils, steam it on low heat 15 minutes. 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.
3. 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 eat the 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. After eating baked oranges, the amount of sputum will be significantly reduced, and the antitussive effect is very obvious, and children are willing to eat it.
4. Jiang Mo scrambled eggs with sesame oil Put a teaspoon of sesame oil in a wok, heat the oil, put it in Jiang Mo, soak it in the oil for a while, then add 1 egg and stir well. When children cough due to cold and physical weakness, let them eat it while it is hot before going to bed every night for a few days, and you will get obvious results.
5. Pear+Zanthoxylum bungeanum+rock sugar pear 1 piece, washed, cross-cut to remove the core in the middle, then put 20 Zanthoxylum bungeanum and 2 rock sugar, put the pears in a bowl and steam for about half an hour. A pear can be eaten twice. Steamed pepper and rock sugar pear are very effective in treating colds and coughs, but some children don't like the taste of pepper, so parents can choose for themselves. The above is the prescription for treating cough due to wind-cold. Parents should also pay attention to the following raw and cold foods that children should not eat: mung beans, crabs, mussels, snails, persimmons, grapefruit, bananas, kiwis, sugar cane, watermelons, melons, bitter melons, water chestnuts, arrowheads, kelp, seaweed and raw radishes.
cough due to wind-heat evil
1. Pear+crystal sugar+Fritillaria cirrhosa Cut the pear horizontally according to the handle, remove the core in the middle, add 2~3 crystal sugar and 5~6 Fritillaria cirrhosa (Fritillaria cirrhosa should be ground into powder), put the pear in a bowl, steam it in a pot for about 30 minutes, and give it to the baby twice. This recipe has the functions of moistening lung, relieving cough and resolving phlegm. Because babies nowadays are generally greedy for cold, they blow air conditioners when they are hot and eat cool fruits all the year round, so the number of babies suffering from wind-heat cough is obviously reduced.
2. Boil radish water. Wash the white radish, cut it into 4~5 pieces, put it in a small pot, add half a bowl of water, put it on the fire and boil it for 5 minutes. Give it to the baby after the water is a little cold. This prescription has a good effect on wind-heat cough, dry nose and throat, dry cough and less phlegm, especially for babies under 2 years old.
3. You can also give your baby the following foods: ① Persimmon: cold in nature, which can clear away heat, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. But the baby can only eat one at a time, and eating too much will make him uncomfortable. ② Watermelon: cold in nature can cure all fever. If the baby coughs in summer, give him more watermelon. 3 loquat: cool, can moisten the lungs, eliminate phlegm and relieve cough. Suitable for babies with fever, cough, yellow pus and phlegm. 4 water chestnut: cold in nature, water chestnut can resolve phlegm and clear heat. Peel 2~3 horseshoes, cut them into thin slices, put them in a pot, add a bowl of water and burn them on the fire for 5 minutes. This prescription has a good effect on patients with fever, cough and expectoration. Others are eating stewed melon and fried silk ... >>
Question 6: How to treat cough with phlegm and runny nose? General cough diet prescription:

Question 7: What should I do if I cough with phlegm? How to cough often? I always cough with phlegm, which is usually caused by rhinitis and can be completely cured. You should observe whether there is a runny nose or booger, whether there is a runny nose from blowing cold air or eating spicy food, or whether there is anything sticky sticking to your throat from the back of your nose. In one case, you already have rhinitis. Purulent secretions of rhinitis are transported to the throat through nasal cilia, which can cause cough. And the secretions spit out by coughing become phlegm. If there is no abnormal vibration or sound in the chest when breathing with the mouth open, phlegm has nothing to do with the lower respiratory tract. )
In this case, if the rhinitis is cured directly, the cough phlegm will naturally disappear. In the future, pay attention to prevent colds and avoid new rhinitis caused by colds, so there will be no such situation. Because rhinitis is caused by a long-term or repeated cold, the hormone level during pregnancy increases, and the air quality in the living environment is poor, which leads to a large number of deaths of nasal cilia, which reduces the detoxification ability of the nasal cavity, and harmful substances stay in the nasal cavity, causing nasal mucosal damage.
The inflammatory part of rhinitis will secrete a lot of purulent substances, that is, nasal mucus. The nose contains a lot of bacteria and inflammatory substances. Because it is too thick, the nasal cilia can't be transported out in time. The accumulation of nasal mucus in the nasal cavity leads to the deterioration of nasal inflammation, which is easy to cause sinusitis. At the same time, it is more likely to cause a cold, forming a vicious circle of rhinitis → cold → rhinitis aggravation → easier to catch a cold. At the same time, these nasal mucus containing a lot of inflammatory substances will be transported to the nasopharynx by nasal cilia, and will be too thick to stick to the nasopharynx and throat, and cannot slip into the stomach for sterilization. It is an inflammatory substance in the soft tissue of the throat, which causes pharyngolaryngitis and shows cough symptoms in severe cases. If these secretions are spit out from the mouth, it becomes what we call phlegm. Therefore, pharyngitis is usually accompanied by rhinitis. This is also the reason why the effect of treating pharyngitis alone is poor.
To thoroughly treat rhinitis, you can directly use a nasal lavage device to gently soak the tender tissue of the nursing nasal cavity, and thoroughly remove the snot on the surface of the tissue and the virus and other harmful substances in the snot. Usually wash once in the morning and once in the evening. To achieve the effect, we must pay attention to the method of use (be careful not to use inferior or salt, the nasal mucosa itself is easy to be damaged, and safety and hygiene are equally important). With the disappearance of nasopharyngeal objects, pharyngitis will naturally disappear. At the same time, there is no substance in the nasal cavity, and the inflammation of each tissue will gradually disappear. The physiological environment of nasal cilia is improved, the burden is reduced, and the detoxification ability of nasal cilia is gradually restored. The previous vicious circle in the nasal cavity has turned into a virtuous circle, and the diseased tissue cells are gradually replaced by new healthy cells, and rhinitis is cured, and people are less likely to be infected.
If you use it incorrectly or wash your nose badly, the nasal cavity will still be damaged by various harmful substances, which will affect the therapeutic effect. At first, if you want to take effect early, you can also increase the number of uses. This is physical therapy, which is very safe for the body and can be used with confidence. Restoring a healthy nasal cavity will also improve the air quality entering the lower respiratory tract, which has an important protective effect on the health of the whole respiratory system, especially in foggy days, which can improve the filtering ability of the nasal cavity to smog particles and protect the health of the respiratory system. All kinds of respiratory diseases and respiratory infectious diseases will naturally stay away from you. It can also be used in the morning and evening to prevent various respiratory diseases such as colds, flu, rhinitis and sinusitis, and prevent postoperative recurrence of rhinitis and sinusitis. Therefore, if this method is used well, it will benefit for life.
