Question
After my son caught a cold, I always bought cough syrup to clear his lungs and phlegm. Even after finishing a bottle, he wasn’t fully recovered. Now, he coughs more severely in the morning and at night. When we went to a nearby hospital for nebulizer treatment, he wouldn’t cooperate. What are some therapeutic food methods for a baby who coughs with phlegm?
Answer
You can consume many easily digestible foods rich in vitamins; ensure adequate water intake to help lower body temperature, humidify the respiratory tract, and aid in expectoration. For patients with inflammatory conditions or ulcers in the throat, avoid foods that are too cold or too hot, and do not eat irritating foods. Always have warm water ready for the child and avoid drinking beverages. You can take cefaclor granules, fresh bamboo decoction oral liquid, and ammonium bromide granules for treatment. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
