1, drug therapy
Observe the child's tongue coating when coughing. If the tongue coating is white, it belongs to cold cough, which means that the child is cold, the child's cough is thin and sticky, and there are symptoms of nasal congestion and runny nose. It is necessary to eat food that is warm, expectorant and cough-relieving; If the child's tongue coating is yellow and red, it belongs to wind-heat cough, which means that the child has a big internal heat, a yellow and thick cough and a sore throat. At this time, it is necessary to eat foods that clear the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough.
Children with cough and phlegm need to take medicine according to the doctor's advice, but also eat some light and digestible food, and can't eat anything with fishy smell. You can choose from the following drugs:
1, Shedan Chuanbei Pipa Ointment has the functions of clearing away lung-heat, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, and can be used to treat wind-heat cough, dry throat and cough discomfort.
2, whooping cough syrup, with mild medicine, can treat cough caused by cold, but if it is cough caused by wind-heat cold, it can not be used.
3, cold cough syrup, also known as Xianheng Feinagen syrup, is mainly used to relieve cough, but also to resolve phlegm and have a calming effect. Can be used for treating bronchitis caused by night cough, excessive phlegm, sleep disturbance and allergy.
Step 2: Care
First, pay attention to keep warm: recently, the weather is getting colder and colder, and many children cough at night because of catching cold. Most children have the habit of kicking quilts. If they don't cover themselves well, they are likely to cough at night. So get up and see more at night. If the baby kicks the quilt, it needs to be covered in time.
Second, drink more Sydney soup: Sydney soup can moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm and relieve cough. If conditions permit, it is best to give the baby more Sydney soup. Peel Sydney directly and stew with rock sugar. When it's not so hot, add some honey appropriately, which can moisten the throat and relieve pain.
Third, clean the room: if the room is not clean enough, the child may cough at night. In this case, we must pay more attention to the ventilation of the room. At the same time, the sheets and bedding should be cleaned and disinfected in direct sunlight. Sometimes children cough at night because sheets and other items are not pure cotton and are allergic to them. This situation can also be alleviated by changing cotton.
Fourth, drug treatment: For children with particularly severe cough at night, it is best to take drug treatment and check whether it is caused by lung heat. Children's cough syrup can be used to treat lung heat. If Ma Bao has materials, she can also make Chuanbei Pipa Cream for children to drink.
3. Diet therapy
As a common respiratory symptom, cough can make children unable to eat, sleep and even become depressed. Therefore, parents and friends urgently need to know the treatment of children's cough and improve their condition. For example, carrot and jujube soup is a diet therapy. Cutting carrots into shreds and cooking soup with a few clean jujubes can relieve cough symptoms. If there is no carrot, you can also use ginger instead. As for the common ingredient-garlic, it also has a certain cough relieving effect, as well as anti-inflammatory and bactericidal effects. Generally, the garlic skin is peeled off, then sliced and boiled with appropriate amount of water. If children don't like the taste of garlic water, they can add some rock sugar.
In addition, rock sugar Sydney soup is also a method to treat children's cough. Rock candy and Sydney are cool, which can clear lung and relieve cough. Moreover, this soup tastes good, and basically children will like it. When these measures are ineffective, drug treatment has been paid attention to. Parents can choose children's cough syrup and give it to their children according to the doctor's advice so that the efficacy can play a good role. Never increase or decrease the dosage at will, which may cause adverse reactions.
4. Prevention
Some children cough because they eat too much food. In modern society, children are the center of the family, and mothers have been worried about their babies' malnutrition, so they try to let them eat more, but they don't know that these will also cause their children's cough. Because the child's internal organs are not fully developed, once eaten too much, it will easily lead to food accumulation and increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time, too much high-calorie, nutritious food will produce phlegm and dampness, which will lead to the production of baby sputum and cause cough symptoms. Therefore, children's diet is recommended to be full.
Another way to prevent children from coughing is also very important, that is, to prevent children from respiratory diseases. Most coughs are related to upper respiratory diseases. Children are particularly prone to diseases such as upper respiratory tract infection in winter and spring because of their imperfect physical function and relatively low immunity and resistance. At this time, parents must pay attention to the reasonable and timely increase or decrease of clothes for their children when the seasons change to avoid children catching a cold. At the same time, we should also pay attention to developing good hygiene habits to avoid virus infection.
Finally, there is another point that parents should pay special attention to, that is, enhancing the baby's resistance and immunity and enhancing the baby's ability to resist virus attacks, which is also one of the key factors to prevent children from coughing. Parents should let their children take more physical exercise and exercise. These can not only improve children's physical functions, but also enhance their resistance.
