Question
What are some treatment via food (TCM) methods for a baby’s cough?
Answer
You can make a soup by boiling pork with both southern and northern almonds. Drink plenty of warm water in small amounts, and it usually takes two days to stop the cough. It’s very effective for loosening mucus and stopping the cough. Remember to add salt for seasoning when making the soup and don’t cover the pot while boiling so that the slight toxicity of the northern almonds can be well evaporated. If the cough is severe, it is recommended to consult a doctor, as oral antibiotics, hormones, antiviral treatments, etc., may be needed. Avoid spicy, cold, and other irritating foods.
