Patient's question:
My baby has been coughing quite a bit recently, especially at night when it's particularly severe. During the day, it's slightly better, but at night, he coughs all night long, making it hard for him to sleep soundly. We've given him some antibiotics, and now we'd like to consult about dietary methods. What dietary approaches are effective for treating children's coughs?Doctor's answer:
In this case, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for an X-ray to check. Generally, the suspicion is bronchitis or pneumonia. You can cook some rock sugar and pear for your child to drink, but the effect is not very significant. It is recommended that you give your baby some lung-cleaning and blood-cooling medicine, or use a lung-cleaning patch. Encourage your child to drink more plain water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and reduce the intake of irritating foods. Do not give your child processed snacks. If the condition worsens, it is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for intravenous drip treatment.
