Spring babies cough, what to eat to relieve cough and phlegm

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Could you please tell me what foods can help with infant cough and phlegm relief in spring?

Doctor's answer:

Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that spring is windy, belonging to the element of wood in the Five Elements theory, and is associated with the liver. Therefore, maintaining health in spring should focus on avoiding wind pathogens and nourishing the liver. To this end, humans should adapt to the changes of the seasons and regulate the yang qi through diet, exercise, and emotions to enhance physical fitness.
Hello, if these symptoms appear, it is likely that the baby has a cold. This may be caused by factors such as inappropriate dressing or undressing, catching a cold when going out, or being exposed to cold air after sweating during play. Alternatively, it could be due to an infection caused by influenza.
Children's paracetamol and phenylephrine tablets, among other antiviral medications, can be used in combination with cough-relieving treatments to control the condition. It is important to drink plenty of water and ensure proper warmth to care for the baby.
