Question
How should I treat a child’s cough with phlegm?
Answer
It is recommended to use pear juice and rock sugar to treat a child’s cough with phlegm. In the morning, you can place a peeled and cored pear filled with rock sugar into a pot and simmer it into pear juice. Allow the child to take this juice in the morning and evening. This method will not harm the child and can effectively help loosen mucus and relieve the cough. Remember to continue this for three days, as this condition may be due to wind-cold cold cough, which can be treated with Sanao Soup and medication for reducing gas and loosing phlegm.
