Cough has a cough and internal injuries cough points, and external cough and wind-cold cough and wind-heat cough, different types of cough in the medication is completely different, the dietary approach is also different.

If you get it wrong, cold cough and hot cough treatments can lead to more serious shortness of breath. It is not difficult to treat a cough. The most important thing is to fully understand the cause and process of the cough, and then the cough can be cured quickly.

Wind-cold cough: wind-cold invasion, lung qi loss of declaring and lowering caused by, most commonly seen in winter and spring. Cold cough performance: sputum more color thin white, foamy, phlegm sound between the throat, easy to cough out, and headache, nasal congestion, runny nose, or accompanied by fear of cold, cold, no sweating, pale red tongue, thin white moss, floating tight pulse. The biggest difference is that there is phlegm in the lungs. When the ear is pressed against the patient's chest wall and the patient breathes hard, a roaring sound like a water flute can be heard in the trachea, and the patient often has chest tightness and sometimes needs to take a deep breath to supplement oxygen. In severe cases, there will be shortness of breath. At this time, you should eat some warm, phlegm and cough food.

First, the treatment of cold cough: when the dispersal of wind-cold, lung cough for the treatment. It is important to promote the discharge of phlegm in the trachea, and reduce the secretion in the trachea, can use three axiom soup plus subtraction, the medicine to take ephedra, licorice 3 grams each, almonds, thorns, beard, tangerine, Suzi, Fazhi, Chenpi, cinnamon sticks, Baibei, Baiqian 5 grams each, water decoction, 1 dose per day. Chinese patent medicine can be used apricot Su cough syrup, Xiao Qinglong oral solution and so on.

Third, cold cough diet:

1. ginger + brown sugar + garlic children suffering from wind-cold cold, drink warm ginger and brown sugar water can play a very good therapeutic effect, if the child is also accompanied by a cough, ginger and brown sugar water can be added to 2 to 3 cloves of garlic to cook together to cook on a low flame for 10 minutes, the garlic of the spicy flavor of the cooking off, so that the child is willing to drink.

2. Steam garlic water to take 2 to 3 cloves of garlic, crushed, put into a bowl, add half a bowl of water, put a grain of rock sugar, put the bowl with a lid into the pot to steam, high heat boil after changing to a small fire steam for 15 minutes. When the bowl of garlic water is warm, feed the child to drink, garlic can not eat. Generally 2 to 3 times a day, a small half bowl. Garlic is warm, into the spleen, stomach, lung meridian, the treatment of cold cough, kidney deficiency cough effect is very good, and convenient and simple, the child is also willing to drink.

3. Roast the oranges by placing them directly on a low flame and turning them constantly until the peel is blackened and hot air emerges from the orange. When the oranges have cooled a little, peel them and let your child eat the warm petals.

Wind-heat cough: wind-heat violates the lungs and turns into heat, which burns the fluids and causes the lungs to lose purity, and is more common in summer and fall.

Hot cough: phlegm is yellowish and thick, small amount, dry cough without phlegm or coughing up phlegm, dry and painful throat, mute voice, itchy throat and coughing, thirst, often accompanied by fever, headache, dizziness, red tongue, thin and yellowish moss, floating or number of floating pulse. At the beginning, the walls of the trachea will secrete purulent phlegm and cough up thick yellow or green sputum. After a few days, the condition is reduced and no more purulent phlegm is secreted, but there is still localized redness and swelling, the trachea and larynx still feel very itchy, and the cough becomes phlegmless.

First, hot cough treatment: hot cough treatment is mainly to suppress cough and clear lung heat and treatment of bacterial infections, if there is thick phlegm is accompanied by phlegm expectoration agents.

Feel free to add your attention and chat with me privately if you have any questions!

Cough is a symptom of external cough and internal cough, and external cough is divided into wind-cold cough and wind-heat cough, different types of cough in the medication is completely different, the dietary treatment is also different. For example, the treatment of cold cough is generally applied to promote the lungs to expel cold Chinese medicine, hot cough needs to be applied to clear the lungs to suppress the fire of Chinese medicine treatment.

About wind-cold cough: wind-cold invasion, the lung qi is not declared due to, most commonly seen in winter and spring. Cold cough performance: sputum more color thin white, foamy, phlegm sound between the throat, easy to cough out, and headache, nasal congestion, runny nose, or accompanied by fear of cold, cold, no sweating, pale red tongue, thin white moss, floating tight pulse. The biggest difference is that there is phlegm in the lungs. If you put your ear against the patient's chest wall and let the patient breathe hard, you can hear a roaring sound like a water flute in the windpipe, and the patient will often have chest tightness, and sometimes you need to take a deep breath to supplement the oxygen. In severe cases, there will be shortness of breath. At this time should eat some warm, resolve phlegm cough food. Cold cough treatment should be based on dispersing wind-cold and promoting the lungs to stop the cough. It is important to promote the expulsion of phlegm from the airways and to reduce the secretion in the airways. San'ao Tang Plus Reduction or Xiaoqinglong Tang can be used.

About wind-heat cough: wind-heat violates the lungs and turns into heat, which burns the fluids and causes the lungs to lose purity, and it is more common in summer and fall. Heat cough manifestations: sputum yellow and thick, small amount, dry cough without sputum or cough sputum, dry and painful throat, hoarseness, itchy throat wanting to cough, thirst, often accompanied by fever, headache, dizziness, red tongue, thin yellow moss, floating or floating number of pulse. Initially, there will be secretion of purulent phlegm from the walls of the trachea, and yellow and green thick phlegm will be coughed up. After a few days, the condition will be alleviated and there will be no more purulent phlegm secretion, but there will still be localized redness and swelling, and the larynx of the trachea will still feel very itchy, and the cough will become phlegmless. The main treatment for hot cough is to suppress the cough and clear the heat in the lungs, usually by applying Ma Xing Shi Gan Tang or Qing Lung Fire Suppressing Pills.

Diseases are clinically differentiated between cold and heat, yin and yang. For example, colds can be generalized into wind-cold and wind-heat colds. But as far as cough is concerned, it is generally divided into two categories: exogenous and internal injuries. As the name suggests, the external cough is to feel the external evil triggered by the cough, which is divided into wind-cold, wind-heat, wind-dry cough; internal injuries cough is due to the body's internal disease and the cough, not necessarily the lungs itself, but involved in the lungs, the factors are mainly phlegm-damp, phlegm-heat, liver-fire, lung yin deficiency. Therefore, if you distinguish between cold and heat alone, it is not a good explanation of the etiology and mechanism of cough.

As far as the title of this question is concerned, we can differentiate it by some clinical manifestations that have the appearance of heat and cold. For example, "cold" cough can be characterized by thin sputum, runny mucus, and white tongue coating. "Heat" can be manifested as cough thick air, throat dryness and sore throat, dry throat and dry mouth, sputum viscous or yellow, tongue coating yellow. In short, white color, thin, generally cold; yellow color, sticky, generally hot. However, the identification of cough should not stop at cold and heat, there are external symptoms such as cold and fever, headache, nasal congestion, etc. to promote the lungs to dissipate the evil, recurrent episodes should be considered caused by internal injuries, most of the evil is real and positive deficiency, both to drive away the evil, but also to nourish the positive. In addition to treating the lungs, coughs should also be treated from a holistic perspective, treating the spleen, liver and kidneys. For example, "the spleen is the source of phlegm, the lung is the storage of phlegm," spleen deficiency can cause phlegm-damp cough; liver fire can offend the lungs, i.e., "wood and fire punishment of the gold," resulting in a cough, dry throat and bitter mouth; the kidneys do not take the qi to affect the lungs, forming a cough. Therefore, in the identification of cough, we have to consider various aspects.

The authoritative interpretation of Pharmaceutical Affairs, unauthorized reproduction, plagiarism will be punished.

It is the time of the year when coughing is at its peak. Cold cough and hot cough are terms used in Chinese medicine, and they are completely different in terms of treatment and medication. They can be recognized in the following ways.

1. Identify sweating, chills, fever, and runny nose

Cold (or wind), or cold, light fever, no sweat, running clear mucus is cold cough; not cold, or cold, light fever, sweat, running pus turbid mucus is hot cough. This is a cough with surface evidence, the former is also known as wind-cold cold, the latter is also known as wind-heat cold.

2. Identify thirst

Those who are thirsty and like to drink are hot coughs and those who are not thirsty are cold coughs.

3. Identify cough and sputum

Cold coughs are characterized by thin, white sputum that is abundant and easy to cough up, while hot coughs are characterized by thick, small sputum that is not easy to cough up.

4. Identify tongue and pulse conditions

Cold cough with pale or light red tongue, thin white and moist moss, and floating tight pulse; hot cough with red tongue or red tongue, thin yellow and dry moss, and floating pulse.

Of course, comprehensive considerations are needed to make an accurate judgment, and it is best to let a professional Chinese medicine practitioner make the identification.

curing

Coughs that appear when you have a cold, i.e., superficial symptoms combined with a cough, can be categorized into wind-heat colds and wind-cold colds, which can be identified by referring to the points above.

• Cough caused by wind-heat coldIf you have a cough, you should relieve the wind and clear the heat to stop the cough, and you can use a formula such as Sang Ju Drink or Yin Qiao San.
• Cough caused by wind-cold fluIt should dispel wind and cold to stop coughing, and can be treated with Ephedra Soup or Thorny Prevention and Defeating Toxin Dispersion.

If there is no longer any superficial evidence, and the pure manifestation is coughing and coughing up phlegm, which is commonly seen in coughs after colds, the treatment is different, and sweating and relieving the symptoms of the disease are usually not needed.

• Cold cough:Warming the lungs and resolving the drinks to stop the cough is treated with Apricot Su San for mild cases and Ling Gan Wu Wei Jiang Xin Tang for severe cases.
• Hot cough:Clearing the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough, such as Mulberry and Apricot Soup for light cases, and Qing Qi and Phlegm Pills for heavy cases.

In fact, there is also a phlegm-dampness cough is more common, then the cold and heat is not so obvious, this cough is a prominent feature of the tongue is white and thick and greasy, the treatment needs to be declared lungs and social phlegm (dampness), can be used in San Ren Tang or warm gallbladder Tang a kind of prescription.

Of course, the cough is more complex, this is just on the external cough in general, the disease is mainly in the lungs, other viscera disease can also cause cough, as the "Huangdi Neijing" said: "the five viscera and six bowels are all people cough, not only the lungs also."

As for the well-known pear stewed with Sichuan shellfish, only suitable for no surface evidence and phlegm less sticky hot cough, do not abuse. Hot cough can also be used alone to treat the fish grass, also has a certain degree of efficacy. Cold cough is relatively mild, you can use ginger, Su Ye, Su Zi and other warm lung cough medicine for simple therapy.

(Follow Dr. Shen, Xiaochaihu, for more TCM knowledge, Xiangli Shen, January 17, 2022)

Hello, cough is divided into cold and hot, the treatment is also different, how to distinguish between cold cough and hot cough? I'll tell you about the TCM theory of cough through the causes, symptoms and treatments.

• ①The cause of the disease is different
• Cold cough and hot cough generally refers to the external cough, feel the wind and cold caused by the lung qi XuanDaSuDi unfavorable, the lung qi up against the emergence of the cough is cold cough. For example, after the cold and cold, there is nasal congestion, runny nose, dry and itchy throat, cough, cough tight, generally wind-cold cough sputum more color white.
• Cough caused by wind-heat is mainly hot, wind-heat evil belongs to the yang-heat causative factors, most often occurs in spicy food or drink too little water and other yang-heat body, coughing sound crisp, coughing phlegm color yellow, accompanied by fever and sore throat and other symptoms.
• ②Symptoms vary
• Wind-cold cough symptoms at the beginning of more than no high fever, low fever or no fever, accompanied by nasal congestion and runny nose, sneezing, only infants and young children of wind-cold cough may appear high fever, this is because infants and young children of pure yang physique, vigorously and rapidly developing, feel the wind and cold after the positive qi and the external evil contend with the intense, there can be a clear fever, chills, pain in the body.
• Cough sputum white clear thin is a typical symptom of wind-cold cough, cold easy to hurt the body's yang qi, yang qi is the body's immune barrier, the old man or weak physique, the organs of the yang qi deficiency of the crowd, usually there is a lack of spleen and kidney, phlegm and dampness heavier problem, if the feeling of wind-cold prone to the occurrence of the outside of the cold inside the drink evidence, that is, outside the sense of wind-cold, the lungs of the water drink stays, the emergence of coughing and wheezing, croup, phlegm in the lungs sounded obvious, the smallest point of infants lie down on their backs can be Gurgling sounds can be heard. This situation mostly occurs in the elderly or weak children, wind-cold as a triggering factor, often showing repeated episodes of characteristics, such as bronchial asthma, capillary bronchitis is mostly cold cough. Wind-heat cough does not cause this symptom.

• Wind-heat cough mostly appears after a hot cold, with obvious fever in the early stage, sore throat as the main symptom, nasal congestion with yellow nasal discharge, dry mouth and dry nose as common symptoms because wind-heat evils are easy to consume fluids, and heat evils are easy to rot the muscles, and the pharynx and sinuses are the common parts of wind-heat and septicemia, so pus in the pharynx, pus accumulation in the nasal cavity, and nasal sound with a heavy headache are also relatively common manifestations. In these symptoms often occur after a more serious cough, coughing sound clear and bright, cough sputum color yellow, this cough often occurs after a cold, more can be quickly cured, rarely recurring.
• ③different methods of treatment (e.g. acupuncture)

• Wind-cold cough should be relieved by dispersing cold and promoting the lungs to stop coughing, and wind-heat cough to clear the wind and heat, and promote the lungs to stop coughing.
• Especially the wind-cold cough to relieve the surface dispersal of cold is the whole through the rule of treatment, must be the cold evil evil dispersal, in order to prevent the cold injury to yang qi and to avoid recurrence of cold.
• Wind-heat cough should drink a lot of water, choose to evacuate wind-heat, clear heat and detoxification, cough and phlegm medication to give treatment, can be quickly cured.

summarize

Cough in addition to distinguish between cold and heat, but also to distinguish between exogenous and internal injuries, cold cough and hot cough can be categorized as exogenous evil, but also can be manifested as an imbalance of yin and yang of the internal organs, the "Neijing" said "the five viscera and six bowels are all people coughing," that is, internal injuries to the internal organs of the cough, pay attention to the exogenous cough is short, and the internal injuries to the cough is a long course of disease, the complexity of symptoms, the need for a professional The doctor to give diagnosis and treatment.

• Lastly, I hope my answer was helpful.
• Note: Hello, I am Chinese medicine Zhu Xuyang, the text refers to the theoretical works of Chinese medicine, combined with personal experience, pictures from the network.

Cough is coughing and wheezing is wheezing, and are the main symptomatic manifestations of lung diseases.

External six evils, internal injuries to the internal organs lead to dysfunction, involving the lungs, resulting in the lung loss of declination, lung qi upward reversal, which can occur or cough, or wheeze, or cough and wheeze symptoms. Wheezing, mostly accompanied by cough, but cough with wheezing, but wheezing and coughing can not be separated from the lungs, but not to the lungs, the two mechanisms also exist "lung qi upward reversal".

If you comb through the Eastern Han Dynasty medical saint Zhang Zhongjing in the "Treatise on Typhoid Fever" as well as "The Essentials of the Golden Chamber" on the evidence of cough and asthma, if the cough alone, roughly, there are several types of cough, cold cough, heat cough, cough, cough, drinking cough and so on.

How Cold Cough Occurs and Treatment

Cold cough, refers to the weakness of lung yang, cold or cold evil attack on the lungs, damage to the lung yang; or over-eating cold food or taking cold medicines for a long time, so as to injure the lung yang and the emergence of coughing and spitting turbid saliva as the main feature of the symptoms.

Zhang Zhongjing categorized the cold cough syndrome into two types:

Lung cold and rebellious cough syndrome：

The original text of Zhang Zhongjing's book discusses the coughing syndrome of lung cold and qi reversal in this way: "Cold stroke in five or six days, with exchanges of cold and heat, bitter fullness in the chest, hey do not want to eat, upset and vomiting, or upset in the chest without vomiting, or thirst, or pain in the abdomen, or hardness of the coils, or palpitations in the lower part of the heart, unfavorable urine, or no thirst, a slight heat in the body, or coughing, Xiao Chaihu Tang is the mainstay. "

If you analyze the lung cold and qi reversal cough syndrome, it is caused by the evil ambush of the Shaoyang, and the cold drink shooting at the lung. It belongs to the contingent symptoms of Shaoyang disease. It occurs because the sun disease evil transmission of the Shaoyang, or external evil directly attacked the Shaoyang, open the evil division in the half-expression half-li, the pivot machine is unfavorable, affecting the Sanjiao waterway regulation, so that the cold drink within the stop, committed to the lungs, the lungs are not purged, the lungs upward and inversion of Qi into.

The main symptoms of Lung Cold and Qi Reversal Cough Symptoms: cough, sputum thin and white in color, cold and heat, bitter fullness in the chest and hypochondrium, bitter mouth and dry pharynx, and stringy pulse.

Treatment: Reconciling Shaoyang, warming the lungs and lowering Qi.

Treatment formula: Xiao Chaihu Tang or clinical additions and subtractions.

Yangming Stomach Cold Cough Symptom：

Zhang Zhongjing's original text in the book is as follows: "Yangming disease, against no sweat, and small convenience, two or three days of vomiting and coughing, hands and feet syncope, it will be bitter headache; if not coughing and not vomiting, hands and feet do not syncope, the head does not hurt."

Analyzing the Yangming stomach cold cough certificate, its etiology and pathogenesis for the cold in the lungs, the lungs and stomach qi reversal. Mostly by the stomach yang vegetarian deficiency, cold drinks inside, committed to the lungs, the lungs lose purging, lung qi upward reversal, hair for cough.

The main symptoms of Yangming Stomach Cold Cough Symptom: cough, vomiting clear water phlegm and saliva, no sweating, headache, inability to eat, cold hands and feet, dysuria, white coating on the tongue, slow and weak pulse;

Treatment: warming the lungs and stomach, resolving drinks and lowering rebelliousness.

Therapeutic formula: Wu Zhu Tang Prostration plus subtractions.

Causes, Symptoms and Treatment of Hot Cough Symptoms

Heat cough, refers to wind-heat attacking the lungs; or depressed heat closure of the lungs; or yin deficiency and heat, combined with water and drink, water-heat interlocks, up to the lungs; or depressed heat congestion of the lungs, corruption of pus, so that the lung qi is damaged, XuanDiaoDiShi failure, and coughing and spitting yellow sputum, or yellow sticky sputum with blood, or spitting pus sputum for coughing as a characteristic of coughing symptoms.

Zhang Zhongjing also divided the hot cough evidence into three kinds of water-heat offending lung cough evidence and, heat-excessive lung carbuncle cough evidence and lung carbuncle into pus cough evidence.

Water-heat in the lungs and cough syndrome：

Zhang Zhongjing's original text in the scriptures reads as follows, "In Shaoyin disease, with diarrhea for six or seven days, coughing and vomiting and thirst, and distraction and sleeplessness, pig ling soup is the mainstay."

For the original text can be interpreted in this way: water-heat against the lungs cough evidence occurs, mostly due to shaoyin disease, yin deficiency has heat, and the internal storage of water, water-heat junction, the upper attack on the lungs, the lungs are not purged, the lungs upward reversal of the qi, so as to send for the evidence of cough.

The main symptoms of water-heat cough syndrome: cough, sputum yellow and sticky, heartburn and sleeplessness, thirst, vomiting, short and reddish urine, dysuria, fever, red tongue, thin yellow moss, and fine pulse.

Treatment: Clearing heat and inducing diuresis, nourishing Yin and moistening the lungs.

Therapeutic formula: pig ling soup with additional subtractions.

Carbuncle Cough Symptom：

Zhang Zhongjing's original text in the scriptures reads as follows, "Lung carbuncle, wheezing and not being able to lie down, Dajiao Lung Diarrhea Soup of Drabanemerosa hebecarpa is the mainstay."

For the original discernment: heat bloom lung carbuncle cough certificate occurs, mostly due to the feeling of wind-heat disease evil, the development of the disease is divided into:

That is, the superficial stage: due to the wind-heat invasion of the Wei division, the lungs and Wei lose publicity, the lungs and Qi are unfavorable, so the cough is seen.

Stuffing pus stage: wind-heat congestion, lung qi is unfavorable, qi does not spread fluids, phlegm-heat internal knot, hot corrosion into pus, symptomatic coughing and spitting smelly phlegm, prescription scape hebecarpa jujube diarrhea lung soup with flavor.

Pus ulcer stage: evil heat congests the lungs, knotting and not dispersing, blood stagnation and rotting, symptomatic coughing and vomiting pus and blood, foul-smelling and abnormal, the formula chooses Platycodonopsis Tang and Qianjin Reed Stem Tang.

The main symptoms of Heat Sheng Lung Carbuncle Cough Symptom: coughing, coughing and spitting foul-smelling phlegm, wheezing and fullness, dry mouth, dry pharynx and no thirst, chest pain, vibration of cold at times, red tongue, yellow and greasy moss, slippery pulse.

Treatment: Clearing and removing heat from the lungs, resolving phlegm and relieving cough.

Treatment formula: Drabanemerosa hebecarpa jujube diarrhea lung soup with addition and subtraction of clinical evidence.

coughing fits caused by carbuncle abscess：

Zhang Zhongjing's original text in the scriptures is as follows, "Coughing with chest fullness, vibrating cold and number of pulses, dry pharynx without thirst, and sometimes producing cloudy saliva with a foul odor, and vomiting pus like rice gruel for a long time, for the carbuncle of the lungs, and the Platycodonopsis Soup is the mainstay."

The identification of lung carbuncle into pus cough certificate: lung carbuncle into pus cough certificate occurs, mostly due to wind-heat offend lung, lung qi is unfavorable, phlegm congestion of the lungs, the lungs are not purged, the lung qi upward reversal, the hair for cough chest fullness.

The main symptoms of lung carbuncle into pus cough evidence: cough, chest fullness, or chest pain, coughing and vomiting pus sputum odor, dry throat, thirst, sometimes cold, yellow tongue, slippery pulse.

Treatment and cure: clearing away heat and removing toxins, resolving phlegm and draining pus.

Therapeutic formula: Platycodon grandiflorum soup with addition and subtraction of clinical evidence.

I don't know if the above answer is helpful to the subject on how to differentiate between cold cough and hot cough, as well as the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.

The other deficiency coughs and drinking coughs are not covered in the question, so they will not be analyzed in detail.

Follow me, with a rigorous attitude, science and health; with love, to convey happiness.

What is the difference between a hot cough and a cold cough?

The difference between a hot cough and a cold cough needs to be based on the sound of the cough, the color and amount of sputum, and the accompanying symptoms.

The etiology of cough is complex and is divided into two categories: exogenous and internal injuries. In Chinese medicine, external cough is divided into wind-cold attacking the lungs, wind-heat attacking the lungs, and wind-drying and hurting the lungs; internal cough can be divided into phlegm-dampness-embedded lungs, phlegm-heat-embedded lungs, liver-heat-embedded lungs, and lung-yin-deficiency coughs. Wind-cold attacking the lungs, phlegm-dampness impregnating the lungs belong to cold cough; while wind-heat offending the lungs, wind-dryness injuring the lungs, phlegm-heat and non-cough, liver-fire offending the lungs, and lung-yin deficiency belong to hot cough.

Cold cough performance: frequent cough, shortness of breath, cough sputum thin white; or cough recurrence, cough heavy sound, cough due to phlegm, phlegm out of the cough slow, phlegm more white, sticky or thick into a block; or accompanied by nasal discharge of clear snot, cold, no sweating, fever, headache, or accompanied by chest tightness and epigastric ruffling, poor fatigue, stools when loose, and so on.

The performance of hot cough: coughing frequently, thick or hoarse cough, throat dryness and sore throat, coughing sputum, sputum viscous or yellow, often accompanied by yellow nasal discharge; or coughing thick, phlegm can be heard in the throat, phlegm more yellow, thick or viscous, coughing and vomiting, or a hot fishy smell, accompanied by fever and thirst, irritability, yellow urine, stools, dry and knotty, and so on.

Cold cough, caused by cold, with thin, watery sputum, worse at night, with wheezing.

Hot cough, sticky, yellowish phlegm, difficult to cough up, dry mouth, thirst.

Cold cough:In the wind-cold cold after coughing, coughing spit sputum is white, foamy, nasal congestion to stay clear snot, thin white tongue, headache or cold fear of cold symptoms, and most of the early stage of the disease are sneezing non-stop, this is a typical wind-cold cold caused by the cold cough. Such a situation, if we can seize the opportunity to help the body in time to get rid of cold, coughing is very right will be restored.

Cold cough can drink Chenpi ginger tea

Directions: Put 3 orange peels in a pot with water to boil, put in 9 slices of peeled ginger (ginger slices cut thicker, not too thin) and cook together for 5 minutes off the heat. Pour out the juice and drink it while it is hot. Cooked ingredients, you can also add water again to cook again.

phlegm: If you have a cold and cough with yellow, sticky sputum and a sore throat, nasal congestion, yellow tongue coating, red tongue edges, a feeling of dryness of the mouth accompanied by fever and a headache, you need to clear the heat and then expel the cold. If you find a hot cough, you need to clear the heat and then drive away the cold.

Drink pear and carrot water for hot cough

Practice: use the skin of a pear and the skin of half a white radish, add cold water to the pot, boil and then cook for seven or eight minutes off the fire.

Don't forget to forward the good methods to your friends, and I wish you all a healthy body!

I've learned this lesson the hard way, I think it's best not to take medication when babies are sick, food therapy is best, and it ends up delaying the illness and making it worse. Food therapy for adults is okay, and all are auxiliary means.

In addition, cough and cold is sometimes very complicated, there are wind-cold plus wind-heat, as well as bacterial infections, viral infections, the use of medicine are completely different, there is no symptomatic is a waste of time.

Baby sick can not be careless, the most important thing is not to procrastinate, thinking of their own judgment of wind-cold or wind-heat to buy some medicine, or dietary therapy, I can only say that it is too childish, adults so okay.

I've seen too many babies with small colds that dragged on and ended up in the hospital, my baby had one and I never dared to slack off after that.

Especially with a cough, dragged a few days into a bronchitis, pneumonia, treatment is more difficult, so parents must be long careful, do not think that a cold on the medication injection is not good, so that the baby's own resistance to defense well, that depends on whether the common cold or infection, bacterial infections and viral infections have to be combined with antibiotic treatment to be able to do, the common cold medicine does not work, the more delayed, the more serious. A blood test will tell you if there is an infection, it's a simple matter of treating the symptoms ah, timely treatment.

Here's some advice from my baby mama, with a picture of my baby.

It's all about experiencing the lessons first hand, not all the specialized theories on the internet.
