What should children eat when they have a cough in autumn?

Every autumn is a season when children are more likely to get sick. Due to the dry climate in autumn, children often have symptoms of colds or coughs. Because children are relatively young, it is not recommended to use medication to treat this type of illness. The symptoms of children can be greatly improved through diet therapy. So what should children eat if they have a cough in autumn? Let’s take a look at the introduction below!

Drink some autumn pear paste. Autumn pear paste is a paste made from white pear as the main ingredient, combined with other cough-relieving, body-stimulating and lung-moisturizing medicines, such as licorice, loquat, kudzu root, radish, lotus root, ginger juice, Sichuan fritillary, honey and other Chinese medicinal materials. It has a good therapeutic effect on lung dryness, constipation and other symptoms. When children cough frequently, parents can mix 1 spoon of autumn pear paste into boiled water and give it to the children to drink.

Eat lung-moistening foods. Pears, white fungus, candied dates, lilies, loquats, etc. all have the effect of moistening the lungs. Making soup with these ingredients is a good lung-moisturizing dietary therapy.

Eat less seafood. In this season, it is best to let children eat less seafood such as fish, shrimp, crab, etc., because the fishy smell can irritate the respiratory tract, and fish and shrimp can easily cause protein allergies, all of which can aggravate coughing.

First of all, the diet should be light, eat less greasy food, and should focus on nutritious food that is easy to digest and absorb; secondly, you cannot drink frozen drinks and eat cold food when you have a cough. If the diet is too cold, the symptoms of cough will worsen and will not heal over time; thirdly, babies with coughs should eat less fishy fish and shrimp foods, otherwise the cough will worsen; finally, you cannot eat oranges, and eat less salty or sweet food. When the baby has a cough, you should stop taking supplements to avoid making the cough difficult to heal.

Through the above introduction, I believe friends already know that when children cough in autumn, they should eat more foods that can moisten the lungs. Parents can also follow the methods and steps introduced above to make homemade autumn pear paste for their children to take. In addition, children should avoid eating seafood or fishy foods during coughing to avoid aggravating the symptoms. Oranges are also not allowed to be eaten.
