Question
What should I do if my child has a cold, cough, and phlegm?
Answer
Firstly, pay attention to keeping warm and drink plenty of water to facilitate the excretion of toxins and the dissolution of phlegm. You can give your baby some candied pear with rock sugar or crabapple decoction, which helps to moisten the lungs, clear the lungs, and cool the blood. If there is an inflammatory bacteria, you may also need to take symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication. Avoid giving your baby too sweet, salty, or spicy and irritating foods. At the same time, ensure that your child consumes enough water every day, keep warm, and avoid catching a cold again. Parents should try to minimize taking their baby out and closely observe their condition.
