A three-year-old child catches a cold and coughs. What should they eat to get better quickly?

Patient's question:

A three-year-old child with a cold and cough, what food is good for quick recovery

Doctor's answer:

The child has a wind-cold cough, possibly due to a sore throat. At this time, you can help the child make steamed eggs. When steaming the eggs, add a little sesame oil to the eggs, which is used for lubrication. Every night before bed, you can let the child eat one such egg and persist for two or three days. The cough will naturally disappear.
Boiled autumn pears. The child's cough may be due to cold entering the lungs, causing discomfort in the lungs. At this time, you can choose autumn pears, the kind with rough outer skin, and don't peel them. Put them in water to boil, then add a few pieces of rock sugar. After the pears soften, give the child the liquid to drink. It is very effective in stopping coughing. Drink it twice a day for about two days.
