The autumn rain is continuous, and the temperature is falling. It is easy to catch a cold and cough without paying attention to keeping warm at this time. Therefore, I have introduced some dietary remedies for treating colds and coughs, hoping to be helpful to everyone.

Diet therapy for cold and cough

1. Radish and scallion soup

Practice: Put an appropriate amount of water (about two bowls) in the pot, peel the radish, cut it into pieces, put it in the water and cook it, then add scallion white and ginger. Until there is a bowl of soup left, drink it together with the residue.

Efficacy: Radish relieves cough and reduces phlegm, removes dryness and generates fluid, clears heat and relaxes poison. Ginger diverges, stops vomiting, and relieves cough. It has a good effect on treating cold cough and phlegm foam.

2. Brown sugar ginger tea

Practice: Slice the ginger, boil the water in a pot, and add brown sugar after the water boils. After the brown sugar melts, put in the cut ginger slices and boil for another ten minutes.

Efficacy: Brown sugar ginger tea can not only prevent cold and flu, but also have a certain effect on warming the palace and treating dysmenorrhea. But it is recommended that you do not drink it at night, as it is easy to get angry.

3. Rock Sugar Sydney

Practice: peel and core the pears. Put rock sugar in the core-removed hollow, add a small amount of water, then put the pears in a porcelain bowl, and finally steam them in a pot for an hour.

Efficacy: Rock Sugar Sydney has the functions of moisturizing the lungs, clearing away heat and relieving cough. It is also suitable for fever, fluid injury, thirst and other symptoms caused by exogenous warm virus.

4. Sesame rock sugar water

Practice: Put sesame seeds and rock sugar into a bowl together and drink with boiling water. It is more convenient and fast.

Efficacy: Sesame rock sugar water can moisturize the lungs and generate fluid. It has a good effect on coughing at night and coughing without phlegm.

In addition, avoid going to crowded public places to reduce the chance of infection. Drink plenty of warm water at ordinary times, and try to avoid caffeinated beverages such as cola, strong tea, coffee, etc. When drinking water, swallow it for five seconds to help moisturize the throat. In terms of food, eat less fish, shrimp, seafood, and fried foods. Oranges and watermelons will aggravate the night cough. It is best to eat less; the neck and soles of the feet are particularly sensitive to cold, so protect the neck when it is cold, and wear socks.
