Many mothers are not sure why their babies have been coughing so badly. In fact, it is because we have not understood the reasons for their children's coughing. Only by truly understanding the causes of coughing can we treat the symptoms and root causes, and ultimately recover. Most children's coughs are treated with medication, but taking medication for a long time can make them very irritable, so dietary adjustments are even more important. Next, let's introduce the dietary therapy methods for a two-year-old baby with cough and phlegm in the encyclopedia!
1. Chinese yam Congee
Method of production: Peel the yam, cut it into small pieces and put them into a food grinder. Add half a bowl of water and process the yam into a thin paste. Then pour it into the pot, set it on fire and stir continuously until it boils. It is best for your baby to eat it on an empty stomach. The prepared bowl of yam Congee can be fed to your baby 2 to 3 times.

3. Walnut+Sesame+Red Date+Honey
Method of making: Half a pound of walnut kernels, 2 liang of black sesame seeds, and half a pound of red dates. Crush them and place them in a large bowl, stirring evenly. Then add 1 tablespoon of honey and 3 tablespoons of water (as honey is difficult to mix evenly, you can first heat the honey and water over fire). Cover the large bowl and steam it in a large pot. Bring it to a boil over high heat and steam over low heat for 40 minutes. Give the baby a spoonful every morning and evening.
