Patient's question:
My baby had a cold a few weeks ago. His cold has been treated and is gone, but he has been coughing for almost a month. Sometimes he has a little phlegm. When he takes some phlegm-removing and cough-relieving granules, there's no phlegm, but he keeps coughing. He coughs badly when he exercises and gets warm. He also coughs when he gets cold. It's really annoying.What kind of help do I need: How can I help my child with persistent coughing? What should I eat to regulate his condition?
Doctor's answer:
Your baby's cough is caused by a cold. Although it has been almost a month, there is no need to worry too much. You can give your child many herbs that clear the lungs and cool the blood. If the child's cough persists and does not improve with treatment, it may not only affect their normal activities but also lead to cough-variant asthma. When a child is unfortunately plagued by cough, parents should pay attention to various aspects of care.1. During the coughing period, give your child vegetables and fruits that can moisten and clear the lungs, such as white radish, pear, loquat, and monk fruit.
2. Let the child drink more water to moisten the respiratory tract, which helps in the expectoration of phlegm.
The above is advice on the question "What should my child eat to recover from prolonged cough?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
