Common Cold and Cough: Wash Your Own Clothes! Enthusiastic Netizen (Canary, QQ: 724504680): Hello, Teacher Hu, I’d like to share a folk remedy for children’s colds and coughs caused by fans, air conditioning, or sweating and catching a chill. This method is widely used in our southern region and is usually effective after just one try. Here’s how it works: When giving your child a bath at night, soak their recently worn clothes in hot water and use them to scrub their body. For severe cases, repeat this process for three days. Remember to use hot water and the clothes they’ve just taken off—don’t use a towel. On the second and third days, use the clothes they’ve worn that day for scrubbing. After the bath, make sure they avoid wind or getting cold again. We call this method “children absorbing sweat and catching a chill.” It’s simple but truly effective.
