Wind cold cough is a clinical syndrome of cough caused by external factors in traditional Chinese medicine. The usual symptoms include frequent coughing, runny nose, fever, headache, and limb soreness. When these are on children, not only do babies feel uncomfortable, but parents also feel uncomfortable watching them. But children are naturally not fond of taking medicine, and mothers also want to use their brains to make "delicious food" in order to make their babies recover quickly. So, what should children eat quickly for wind cold cough?
1. Ginger+brown sugar+garlic
If a child has a cold caused by wind chill, drinking warm ginger brown sugar water can have a good therapeutic effect. If the child also has cough, 2-3 cloves of garlic can be added to the ginger brown sugar water and boiled together. It should be boiled over low heat for 10 minutes to remove the spicy taste of the garlic, so that the child is willing to drink.
2. Steamed garlic water
Take 2-3 cloves of garlic, crush them, put them in a bowl, add half a bowl of water, add a piece of rock sugar, cover the bowl and put it in a pot to steam. After boiling over high heat, steam over low heat for 15 minutes. When the garlic water in the bowl is warm, feed it to the child and they can skip eating garlic. Usually 2-3 times a day, one small bowl. Garlic is warm in nature and enters the spleen, stomach, and lung meridians. It has a very good effect on treating cold cough and kidney deficiency cough, and is convenient and simple. Children are also willing to drink it.
3. Roasted Orange
Bake the orange directly on low heat and keep flipping it until the orange peel turns black and hot steam emerges from the orange. Let the orange cool down for a while, peel off the orange peel, and let the child eat warm orange slices. If it's a big orange, the child can eat 2-3 slices at a time. If it's a small tribute orange, the child can eat one at a time. It is best to eat it with garlic water 2-3 times a day. Oranges are warm in nature and have the effect of resolving phlegm and stopping cough. After eating roasted oranges, the amount of phlegm will significantly decrease, and the cough suppressant effect is very obvious, and children are willing to eat them.
4. Stir fried eggs with sesame oil and ginger powder
Put a small spoonful of sesame oil into a wok, heat up the oil and add ginger, let it pass in the oil briefly, then add 1 egg and stir fry evenly. When a child coughs due to wind cold or physical weakness, let them eat it once a night before bedtime while it is still hot. If they persist in eating it for a few days, they can achieve significant results.
5. Pear+Sichuan pepper+rock sugar
Wash one pear, cut it horizontally to remove the middle core, add 20 Sichuan peppercorns and 2 rock sugar, then put the pear in pairs and steam for about half an hour. One pear can be eaten in two portions. Steamed Sichuan peppercorns and rock sugar pears have a significant effect on treating wind cold cough, but some children do not like the taste of Sichuan peppercorns, and parents can choose for themselves.
