Coughing in babies is a common situation encountered by parents. Once a baby gets sick and coughs, the mother will be very worried, afraid that taking medication will not be good for the baby's health. Generally, they want to solve their child's cough through dietary therapy. So, what should babies eat when coughing?
When a baby coughs, parents should first distinguish the cause of the cough and then prescribe the right medicine. If the baby coughs with a lot of phlegm, yellow sputum, red tongue and yellow fur, and red throat, it is hot cough. Mother can boil rock sugar snow pear water for the child to drink, which can effectively control the cough. She can also feed some fresh fruit and vegetable juice in appropriate amount. Pay attention to filtering the fruit residue in the juice, so that Baobao will not easily choke when drinking. If the baby's phlegm is thin and white, and the tongue coating is thin and white, it is a cold cough. You can feed them some ginger brown sugar water. If the baby has a long cough with little sputum, dry mouth, red tongue and night sweat, it may be a cough due to lung yin deficiency. Mother can cook some lily Congee or Broth of white fungus to moisten the lungs and nourish the body.
In addition, whether the baby has a hot cough or a cold cough, it is important to drink plenty of water because a large amount of water can help relieve cough symptoms. For babies with colds and coughs accompanied by diarrhea, drinking plenty of water can better prevent dehydration. In addition, coughing and dietary restrictions are very important for children, as high levels of oil and sugar can worsen the condition. If you have indigestion, you should also reduce your intake of high protein and remember to dilute the milk you drink.
