Question
The child always coughs. Are there any home remedies we can try?
Answer
Firstly, it is recommended that you take your child to see a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment. After the doctor prescribes the appropriate medication, you can try using a peeled pear cut into small pieces, adding 15 Sichuan peppercorns and 2 pieces of rock sugar, placing them in a small bowl, then steaming them in a steamer until the pear becomes soft. Give the steamed pear and its juice to the child to drink, as this can help alleviate the cough. However, remember that this is merely a home remedy and should not replace the treatment by a medical professional.
