Children cough every time the seasons change. You can use the following methods to prevent and treat them.

1. Drink some Qiuli paste. Qiuli ointment is a paste made from white pear as the main raw material, and other traditional Chinese medicines such as licorice, loquat, kudzu root, radish, lotus root, ginger juice, Sichuan clamshell, and honey for relieving cough, promoting body fluids, and moistening the lungs. It has a good therapeutic effect on lung dryness, constipation and other diseases. When a child coughs frequently, parents can mix 1 spoonful of Qiuli ointment into boiled water and give it to the child to drink.

2. Eat lung-moistening foods. Pears, white fungus, candied dates, lilies, loquats, etc. all have lung-moistening effects. Making soup with these ingredients is a good lung-moistening dietary therapy. 3. Eat less seafood. During this season, it is best for children to eat less fish, shrimp, crab and other seafood, because the fishy smell can irritate the respiratory tract, and fish and shrimp can easily cause protein allergies. These factors can aggravate coughs.

4. Drink warm drinks. Warm drinks can thin babies' phlegm, relieve tension in the respiratory mucosa, and promote coughing up phlegm. Warm water, warm milk, rice soup, etc. are all good choices. You can also give your baby some fresh fruit juice. Apple juice and pear juice with less irritation should be used instead of citrus juices such as orange juice and grapefruit juice.

5. Water vapor relieves cough. Children who are coughing will have symptoms relieved in an environment where the room temperature is about 20 degrees and the humidity is about 60%-65%. If your child has a severe cough, you can hold your child and sit in a steamy bathroom for 5 minutes. The moist air can help your child clear mucus from their lungs and calm their cough.
