Why do I keep coughing?

Some friends will always cough. Coughing all the time brings great harm to patients. It not only affects the body, but also causes serious psychological harm. Patients who always cough also have poor sleep quality, so they have no energy, and their resistance and immunity decrease, which makes it more difficult to recover from the disease. So what causes constant coughing?

We need to understand the cause of the cough, which will be very helpful for us to prevent and treat the cough. If we always have a bad cough, we must actively find ways to treat it to avoid causing greater harm to the body.

If you often cough, you can use specific foods as an auxiliary treatment: if you have a dry cough with some phlegm and mucus that is difficult to clear, you can eat pears, radishes, honey, white fungus, lilies and loquat leaves. In case of wet cough with phlegm, it is suitable to eat tangerine peel.

When the body has a fever and the sputum is yellow-green, this condition is generally called a hot cough. At this time, you can eat foods with cooling effects such as radish, winter melon, pears, loquat leaves and persimmons. It is better to eat radish raw by cutting it into pieces, as the effect is better than cooking it.

If the body is cold, one is afraid of cold from time to time, the phlegm is transparent, and one feels cold, then it is a cold condition. Suitable foods include ginger, onion, tangerine peel, ginkgo, etc. Add a little chopped ginger to water and drink it to keep warm.

Depending on the season, you can choose boiled water, herbal tea, cabbage soup, rice soup, fresh fruit juice (such as watermelon juice, orange juice), etc. At the same time, attention should be paid to supplementing vitamins, inorganic salts and appropriate amounts of protein, and let children eat some milk, eggs, vegetables, etc.

When coughing is accompanied by hemoptysis, you can choose fruits rich in vitamin C such as oranges and strawberries for your child to eat. Avoid too sour juices and spicy seasonings, and do not overheat food to avoid inducing hemoptysis.

Fresh vegetables can provide children with a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts. Soy products contain high-quality protein and have no disadvantages of increasing phlegm and dampness. You can also add a small amount of lean meat and protein. Dishes should avoid being too salty, and should be steamed or boiled as much as possible instead of fried, stir-fried or stewed.
