On the road to raising children, nothing worries parents more than their children getting sick.

Colds, in particular, are a "little trouble" that almost every child will encounter as they grow up.

Especially during the change of seasons, when the temperature is high and low, if the little ones have a little less resistance, they will suffer from nasal congestion, coughing, runny nose and other conditions.

Once many parents see their baby suffering from a cold, they rush to give him medicine. However, the child will cry and not open his mouth, or he will spit out the medicine after finally taking it in, causing the whole family to become anxious and get angry.

In fact, for common colds whose symptoms are not particularly severe, some milder dietary remedies can be used as auxiliary treatments. This can not only make it easier for the baby to accept it, but also have a very good relief effect.

Several recipes that closely follow the cold stage of children are specially created for babies. The ingredients used are all home-cooked dishes, and the preparation methods are simple. The focus is on matching the diet according to the symptoms so that the child can comfortably survive the cold period while eating. This is the key to these recipes.

Green onion and white japonica rice porridge, a "little warmer" to dispel colds and colds

If you notice that after your baby catches a cold, the discharge from his nose is clear and continuous, like clear water, and when he coughs, the sputum is relatively thin, and he is also afraid of the cold, his hands and feet also show coldness, and his urine is clear and long, this situation is mostly due to the invasion of wind and cold, and it is a cold cold.

At this time, a bowl of hot White scallion rice porridge It couldn't be more appropriate.

Start preparing, select five or six sections of white scallions, which are the white parts at the base of the scallion stems, and leave out the leaves. In addition, prepare six or seven slices of ginger, and prepare an appropriate amount of japonica rice.

First, wash and clean the japonica rice. Then, put the washed japonica rice into a pot, add enough water, and then bring it to a boil over high heat. Then, turn the heat to low and slowly simmer it into a porridge base.

When the porridge is almost ready, add the chopped green onions and cook together. When the aroma of the green onions comes out, add the ginger slices and continue cooking for about five minutes before turning off the heat.

Scallions have their own effect in causing sweating and relieving the skin, while ginger has the effect of warming the body and dispersing cold. The combination of the two can help the baby dispel the cold in the body.

Be careful not to put too much ginger. You can pick it out after cooking it. Otherwise, the taste will be too strong and pungent, causing the baby not to like drinking it.

Mint and burdock porridge, "cool down" hot colds

If after a baby catches a cold, the runny nose is yellow and thick, and the phlegm he coughs up is yellow and sticky, making it difficult to cough up. At the same time, he is also accompanied by a sore throat, a dry mouth and a desire to drink water, and dry and hard stools. Generally speaking, this is a febrile cold, which is what we usually call wind-heat cold.

At this time, some heat-clearing ingredients are needed to help.

Such babies tend to sweat as long as they move a little bit. Their constitution is relatively weak, and they are particularly prone to repeated colds. They are not easy to recover from colds. This is often a cold caused by Qi deficiency.

During the recovery period of a cold, or when the symptoms are mild, you can try yam and pork porridge for this kind of baby.

Prepare an iron rod of yam in advance, remove its skin and cut it into small pieces for later use, and then prepare some minced pork and rice.

Wash the rice first, then put it into the pot to cook the porridge. When the porridge is cooked until it becomes sticky, add the cut yam slices, then add the minced pork, and cook together until the yam becomes soft and the minced meat is cooked. That's it.
