What to eat for children's cough with food therapy

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits and it's affecting my work performance. Actually, I don't want to, either. I always can't sleep at night, and sometimes I feel my heart racing and feel quite uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm very worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, what kind of food therapy can help with a child's cough?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, there are several common folk remedies for treating coughs using pears, rock sugar, and water. Here are a few:
1. Pears, almonds, and rock sugar are boiled in water to treat wind-heat coughs.
2. Pears, orange peels, white radishes, and brown sugar are boiled in water to treat wind-cold coughs.
It is recommended to give babies more porridge regularly. For children with a fever below 38.5°C, do not give them fever-reducing medication or injections. Instead, ensure the baby drinks plenty of water.
Pay attention to whether the room temperature is too high, and seek a thorough examination if necessary.
