Question
What should a three-year-old child eat to quickly relieve a cold and cough?
Answer
If a child has wind-cold cough, it might be due to discomfort in the throat. At this time, you can help make a steamed egg for the child, adding a bit of sesame oil into the egg for lubrication purposes. Before going to bed each night, let the child eat one such egg, and continue this for two to three days, and the cough will naturally disappear. Another good method is to cook pear water. The child’s cough might be because the cold has entered the lungs, causing discomfort. In this case, choose a rough-skinned pear, do not peel it, put it in water to boil, and add some pieces of rock sugar. After the pear has softened, give it to the child to drink. It is very effective in stopping coughing. It’s recommended to drink it twice a day for about two days.
