Question

How can the excessive mucus problem in a three-year-old child be treated?

Answer

Here are some dietary treatments you can try:

  1. Rhizoma Polygonati Conradii Porridge: 15 grams of Polygonatum cyrtonema (double the amount if fresh), and 50 grams of rice. Clean the Polygonatum cyrtonema, chop it, and add water to make a decoction. Use this liquid to cook the rice (add water as needed). Eat twice a day at warm temperatures. One week is one cycle, then rest for a week before starting the second cycle.
  2. Rhizoma Polygonati Conradii Porridge: 15 grams of Polygonatum cyrtonema (better with fresh, double the amount), 50 grams of rice, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Clean the Polygonatum cyrtonema, chop it finely, and mix it with rice and 500 milliliters of water. Cook on low heat until the rice is cooked and add rock sugar. Cook for a little longer, eat twice a day on an empty stomach while hot.
  3. Lily and Pear Sugar: 10 grams of Lily (better with fresh, double the amount), 1 pear, and 15 grams of rock sugar. Clean the Lily and slice the pear. Mix Lily, pear, and rock sugar in a bowl, steam until cooked, let cool, and eat all at once. Eat twice a day.
  4. Peanut and Rock Sugar Stew: 100-150 grams of peanuts, and appropriate amount of rock sugar. Clean the peanuts, add rock sugar and water to cook until soft. Eat peanuts and drink soup, eat three times a day.
  5. Silver Ear Soup: 5 grams of silver ear, 1 egg, 60 grams of rock sugar, and appropriate amount of lard. Soak silver ear in warm water for about 30 minutes, remove impurities, and cut into pieces. Add water to cook until boiling on low heat.
