Question
How to treat a child’s stuffy cough
Answer
You can find hawthorn pills at most pharmacies, which can be chewed by children after meals to aid digestion. For older children, hawthorn and yam can be purchased in autumn to make dishes like hawthorn soup and stringy yam. For children with excessive, thick, and difficult-to-cough-up sputum, symptomatic anti-inflammatory medication should be used. It is also important to ensure that the child has enough water intake to thin out the sputum, which helps in expelling it.
