What fruits are good for children with cold and cough

Our traditional Chinese medicine believes that colds are caused by infection with wind and cold, and it is not recommended to eat fruit during a cold. Because they believe that the intestinal function is weak after a cold, and eating fruit at this time will cause symptoms such as abdominal pain and diarrhea. In fact, choosing some milder foods such as apples, bananas, etc. can not only relieve the symptoms of colds, but also have a good effect on improving the body's immunity.

In case of cold, cough and other symptoms, eating some fruits will help the condition. When the cough is severe, even some sweet and sour fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc. should not be eaten. Eating too much sweets will increase heat and make the inflammation difficult to cure. Tomatoes can cure coughs and have excellent expectorant effects. If you have cough symptoms and have excessive phlegm on a daily basis or due to a cold, you can try this method.

In addition, when choosing fruits, you should be aware that frozen and spicy foods will irritate the throat and aggravate the cough. Therefore, it is not advisable to drink cold or frozen drinks when you have a cough. It is best to warm the milk taken out of the refrigerator before drinking it. Children suffering from "allergic cough" should not drink carbonated beverages to avoid triggering cough attacks. Sour food often causes phlegm to accumulate, making it difficult to cough up, thus aggravating the condition and making the cough difficult to cure.

Many people believe that oranges can relieve coughs and reduce phlegm, so they let children with coughs eat more oranges. In fact, orange peel does have the effect of relieving cough and reducing phlegm, but orange flesh can generate heat and phlegm. Common coughs worsen after eating fishy foods, which is related to the fishy smell irritating the respiratory tract and allergies to the protein in fish and shrimp foods. People with allergies should avoid eating the above foods when they have a cough.

In addition, everyone should be reminded that when a child has a cold or cough, you should not give him nutritional supplements, because nutritional supplements at this time will not only make the nutrients difficult to be absorbed by the human body, but it may also cause the internal heat to rise, making the cough difficult to cure. You can give your child more water to dilute the phlegm, so that the phlegm can be quickly discharged from the body and reduce the child's pain.
