Both adults and children cough from time to time, especially children who are more prone to coughing during weather changes. Therefore, parents must pay attention to and actively take their babies for treatment. It is important to know that if a baby's cough is not treated in a timely manner in the early stages, it may lead to other complications. So, what should a two-year-old baby eat for coughing?
Firstly, when a two-year-old baby coughs, they can eat more Chinese cabbage. Cabbage is a common green vegetable that can clear the lungs, relieve cough, and promote bowel movements. In addition, oranges have a cool nature. Eating some stir fried oranges in moderation can not only improve appetite loss, but also treat coughing in babies.
Secondly, during a baby's cough, parents can also prepare chicken soup with black fungus and lotus seeds. Soak a small amount of black fungus in the soup for about an hour, then soak the lotus seeds in boiling water. Cook them together with the chicken and add seasonings such as salt, sugar, and MSG. Eating it can improve the baby's cough and enhance their appetite.
Finally, when a baby coughs, it is generally not suitable to take cough suppressants because the baby's respiratory system is not yet fully developed, and the cough contrast is relatively large. If the baby has phlegm, taking cough suppressants will leave a large amount of phlegm in the baby's body. Therefore, if there is phlegm, it needs to be removed first. However, if the baby only coughs, cough suppressants can be taken under the guidance of a doctor.
