What should children do if they cough with phlegm?

Children are born with poor physique and weak resistance, so they are particularly prone to get sick, catch a cold and cough when the season changes suddenly or the weather is hot and cold. Cough in children is a common disease, and there are many reasons for it. So what should the child do if he coughs and has phlegm? What medicine does the child take when coughing with phlegm?

1. What should I do if my child coughs and has phlegm?

Parents can observe first, and don't rush to send their children to the hospital to cough.

Sometimes a child's cough only occurs in the early hours of the morning.

Some children's cough is a slight cough when they are nervous or after exercise.

Is to observe the child's tongue coating. If the tongue coating is white, it is a cold and cough, indicating that the child is cold, the cough sputum is thin and white, and it is also stuffy and runny. At this time, you should eat some food that warms up phlegm and relieves cough.

If the child's tongue coating is yellow and red, it is a wind-heat cough, indicating that the child is angry, coughing yellow and thick, not easy to cough up, and has a sore throat. At this time, you should eat some foods that clear lung, resolve phlegm and relieve cough.

Cough caused by internal injuries is mostly chronic and recurrent. At this time, parents should pay attention to give their children some foods that regulate the spleen and stomach, tonify the kidney and replenish the lung. The specific method is as follows:
