Answer

You can try traditional Chinese medicine treatments:

  1. Wind-Cold Cough: Pear + Sichuan pepper + rock sugar. Wash the pear clean, cut it horizontally, remove the core, add 20 Sichuan pepper seeds and 2 pieces of rock sugar, fold it back into the bowl, and steam for half an hour.
  2. Wind-Heat Cough: Pear + rock sugar + Fritillaria thunbergii. Cut the pear open and remove the core, add 2-3 pieces of rock sugar and 5-6 crushed Fritillaria thunbergii, steam for 30 minutes. These traditional Chinese medicine treatments can enhance the child’s constitution.
