What is the best way for a child to cough all the time?

What should I do if my child has a bad cough?

Speaking of this, I really have a personal experience, and that feeling is very sour.

When I was in elementary school, I had a very bad cough, but my mother took me to the hospital many times, took a lot of medicine, and drank a lot of syrup, but it didn't help my cough. And my mother tried a lot of home remedies at that time, but in the end, they all failed, and I still had a long-term cough.

Later, an aunt in the neighborhood told my mother that she could try to let me take compound licorice and licorice tablets, saying that this effect was particularly good. I was relatively young at the time, and I would retch when I smelled the licorice flakes, and I was very uncooperative with my mother. But for the sake of my condition, my mother took the trouble to tell me that it would be good to eat this, and also told me that I must take it in my mouth and not swallow it.

At that time, I was crying and fussing, very uncooperative with my mother, and she also beat me, saying that this is the best way, if it really can't get better, I will go to the hospital**.

Under my mother's soft grinding and hard foaming, I took a piece of licorice in my mouth, and I wanted to vomit it because it smelled so bad. I couldn't stand the disgusting smell myself, but I couldn't help but spit it out when I saw my mother's request. I kept it until it melted, but the whole process was very unbearable, because I wanted to vomit from time to time, and I wanted to vomit.

In this way, I took the first compound licorice tablet, and then drank a lot of water, and when it was time to go to bed at night, my mother let me take one in it, and I took a compound licorice tablet, and then I fell asleep. When I got up the next day, I found that my cough was indeed better, so my mother was more convinced of the method told by the aunt, so every time I came home from school, my mother would grind hard and soak and persuade me to take compound licorice tablets. A few days later, my cough was magically better.

But until now, I still can't accept the taste, and I feel that there is a psychological shadow.
