  There are many reasons for colds and coughs, and parents need to distinguish the causes of their children's colds and coughs in order to receive targeted treatment. Some children's colds and coughs are caused by viral infections. Parents should take their children to seek medical attention in a timely manner, under the supervision of a doctor, and take some antiviral and antipyretic drugs to alleviate the symptoms of colds and coughs. At the same time, it is also necessary to give children more plain water to alleviate physical discomfort.

  During the autumn and winter seasons, catching a cold can also cause children to catch a cold and cough. In this case, you can give children some scallion water or ginger water to drive away the cold and warm the yang, thereby reducing their physical discomfort. At the same time, attention should be paid to keeping children warm. The temperature in the room should be kept constant at around 25 ° C, as too low a temperature can worsen the child's condition.

  To prevent children from catching colds and coughing, parents should pay attention to indoor ventilation in daily life, ensure air flow, and reduce bacterial contamination. Pay attention to wearing masks for children when going out, which can reduce the incidence of illness. If the outdoor weather is cold, be sure to dress your child thicker and take off the cotton jacket promptly after returning home to reduce the risk of sweating and getting cold.
