Since the beginning of autumn, the temperature has been fluctuating between warm and cold, like riding a roller coaster. Many adults have been affected by the unpredictable weather, experiencing symptoms such as stuffy nose, runny nose, and coughing. For children with weaker constitutions, the situation is even worse, with various health problems emerging, especially coughing, which seems to persist without improvement. Seeing the child's face turning red from coughing, in obvious distress, parents feel extremely anxious. Today, I will recommend several dietary treatments for treating children's cough, hoping to alleviate the urgent concerns of parents.
Rock Sugar Snow Pear
Snow pears and rock sugar are both sweet in taste and beloved by children. Moreover, the medicinal value of snow pears should not be overlooked. "Compendium of Materia Medica" describes pears as being "beneficial and capable of descending and flowing smoothly." Snow pears have the effect of moistening the lungs, clearing dryness, and resolving phlegm and cough. Rock sugar also has the effect of nourishing the qi, tonifying the middle, and relieving cough and moistening the lungs. When combined in a stew, not only is the taste sweet, but the effect is also better. Children will love it.
First, prepare a snow pear and a large piece of rock sugar. Cut off the top of the pear, remove the core, and place the rock sugar inside the pear. Then, add an appropriate amount of water to fill the pear, and cover the pear with the removed top. Place it in a pot and steam until the pear becomes soft. It can then be taken out and consumed, effectively relieving children's cough.
Radish and Ginger Soup
There is a saying among the people that radishes can rival ginseng, indicating the great medicinal value of radishes. Radishes have the functions of relieving cough, resolving phlegm, and removing dryness while promoting the production of body fluids. As for ginger, it has a warm and spicy taste and also has the effect of dispelling heat, inducing sweating, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough. When boiled together, the combination is even more effective.
First, wash the radish and peel it, then cut it into pieces. Wash the ginger and slice it, setting it aside. Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot and add the ginger slices. Bring to a boil and then add the radish, reducing the heat to low. After about fifteen minutes, turn off the heat, add seasoning to taste, and consume.
Sugar Egg Custard
The sucrose in white sugar can moisturize the lungs and relieve cough. When combined with eggs, it not only enhances the taste, but also doubles the effectiveness of relieving cough, which children will love.
First, beat two eggs in a bowl until well mixed. Then add an appropriate amount of white sugar and mix again. Then, heat the mixture in the microwave on high temperature for a few minutes. Once the custard is formed, you can add nuts according to taste to enhance the texture. Heat for a few more minutes before consuming.
Tofu Sweet Soup
Steamed together with brown sugar and white sugar, tofu has the effect of clearing heat, moistening dryness, resolving phlegm, and relieving cough. The preparation method is also very simple. Just dig a groove in the middle of a block of tofu, pour an appropriate amount of white sugar and brown sugar into the groove, and steam it in a pot for ten minutes. It can be consumed to effectively alleviate children's cough.
If parents are still anxious about their children's persistent coughing, they should try these dietary treatments. They are certain to have a good effect.
