When a baby experiences lung heat, it is mainly due to daily life. The baby eats a lot of spicy and easily flammable food, or difficult to digest food, especially the baby's favorite junk food and meat products. So, what are the foods for babies to clear their lungs and warm up?
1. Pay attention to diet, balanced nutrition, avoid spicy and stimulating food, and focus on light food. During the period of lung heat in babies, they can eat some easily digestible light foods, such as cabbage, radish, white pear, etc. Eat less meat and more fruits and vegetables. At night, ensure that the baby has sufficient sleep and also pay attention to keeping warm at night.
2. Go to the TCM hospital to take traditional Chinese patent medicines and simple preparations or traditional Chinese medicine according to the doctor's advice. If a baby has a strange odor or even yellow sandalwood in their mouth after waking up in the morning, it means that they have lung heat. At this time, you can also boil some nourishing soup to clear the lungs and eliminate toxins, such as using Angelica sinensis, Rehmannia glutinosa, Lily, and Ophiopogon japonicus to make soup. Peppermint and mulberry leaves are both excellent herbs for clearing heat and detoxifying, and can be boiled into soup for babies to drink. Pear and loquat, which are cool in nature, have the effect of resolving phlegm and stopping cough. Babies with lung heat can eat more. If the baby has yellow phlegm in their throat, they can soak loquat or pear in water or make soup to drink.
3. Drink plenty of warm water. Warm boiled water is the best "medicine" for most diseases. Drinking plenty of warm boiled water can effectively alleviate symptoms of lung heat, dilute blood, and accelerate the metabolism of the baby's body. At the same time, sunbathing more and maintaining smooth indoor ventilation can enhance the baby's body's resistance and alleviate symptoms of lung heat.
