Question
What should I do if my child has excessive fire and persistent dry cough? The two-and-a-half-year-old girl is very hungry and eats a lot after meals, with red hands and cheeks. She often dry vomits and has a mild cough, but she is otherwise in good health. She gets a sore throat and starts coughing when she has a fever. She had pneumonia not long ago, which was quite serious, but she is better now. She still eats a lot and has a bit of runny nose. Previous treatment and effectiveness: She always has lung heat; she hasn’t had other diseases, but when she gets sick, it’s always pneumonia with severe coughing. After intravenous fluid therapy, she gradually improves. What kind of help do I seek: I would like to ask what dietary methods can be used to nourish the child if she has excessive fire, as her throat has never been good and she always coughs. What should she eat to increase the risk of illness so that she doesn’t get pneumonia and cough when she has a fever?
