New mothers will have a cough after catching a cold while breastfeeding, and they will have a lot of phlegm in their cough, which may cause common symptoms of respiratory inflammation, so it should not be taken lightly. Especially during the critical and sensitive period of breastfeeding, for the health of both the mother and the baby, it is necessary to learn scientific and effective treatment. Let me introduce some dietary therapies to mothers below.

1. Monk fruit mint tea. Take 30 grams of monk fruit, 10 grams of mint, 5 grams of green fruit, and 3 grams of licorice every day. First, cut the monk fruit into thin slices, cut the mint into small pieces, and crush the green fruit. Then put the monk fruit slices, mint pieces, crushed green fruit and licorice into a pot, soak them in water, then simmer over low heat. After it boils, take the juice and drink it at any time.

2. Crucian carp soup with fresh mint. Take 1 live crucian carp, 20 grams of fresh mint, 1 scallion, and 1 slice of ginger. First, clean the crucian carp, boil it in water, and add fresh mint, scallion and ginger. When the fish soup boils, add seasoning, oil and salt, and eat the soup and meat together. Eat once a day. It is especially suitable for children with long-term cough.

3. Steamed persimmon cake with rock sugar. Take 3 persimmons, a small amount of water and an appropriate amount of rock sugar. First, remove the stems of the persimmons and wash them. Then cut each persimmon into 4 pieces, place them on a plate, sprinkle them evenly with water and rock sugar, steam them in a steamer, and eat them when they are soft.

4. Loquat seed drink. Take 9-15 grams of loquat kernels and 3 slices of ginger. First, mash the loquat seeds, then put them into a pot together with ginger, add water and boil, remove the residue and take it twice a day.

You can take medicine to treat it during the breastfeeding period. It is recommended to take cough medicine and Shuanghuanglian oral liquid. You can also boil Houttuynia cordata and loquat leaves with rock sugar water to drink.

During breastfeeding, you can take fresh bamboo sap oral liquid for cough with phlegm. This is a traditional Chinese medicine preparation and has no effect on breastfeeding.

If you currently have symptoms of coughing and phlegm in the trachea, it may be caused by an upper respiratory tract infection. You can take Nian Ji'an loquat cough syrup for treatment and drink plenty of water during treatment.
