What to eat for children with allergic cough

We all grew up eating whole grains, so some diseases in life are inevitable. However, we need to understand the causes of the disease. It is also very important to know what to eat to alleviate the disease and what to eat to aggravate the disease. In fact, many times the disease worsens because people do not pay enough attention to it. So what should children with allergic cough eat?

1. Patients with cough should have a light diet and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as radish, sword bean, loofah, pear, apple, orange, loquat, grape, walnut, etc. Honey and maltose are also good.

2. Eat small meals frequently, chew slowly, and do not overeat. Cough variant asthma attacks repeatedly. Due to lack of oxygen in the body, the gastrointestinal function is weakened. Eating small meals frequently can reduce the burden on the gastrointestinal tract, and chewing slowly is beneficial to digestion and absorption. As the saying goes, "Leave a bite when eating, and you will live to be ninety-nine." Overeating is harmful to normal people, let alone patients!

3. Food should be warm, avoid being too cold or too hot. Patients with cough variant asthma, especially children and the elderly, are already physically weak and have weak spleen and stomach functions. Eating raw or overcooled food will cause gastrointestinal motility to slow down, leading to indigestion, loss of appetite, and a deterioration of the patient's physical condition, which is not conducive to the recovery of cough variant asthma. Avoid overheated (or scalding) food, especially if the patient eats too fast, as this can cause paroxysmal coughing and induce cough variant asthma, which should be paid special attention to.

4. When choosing diet therapy, you must be careful, do your best, and take it patiently. It is best to use it correctly under the guidance of a doctor and never give up halfway.

5. Avoid eating foods that are too sweet or too salty. What Chinese medicine calls "sweet asthma" and "salty asthma" are caused by eating too sweet or too salty foods. Sweet and salty foods can produce phlegm and heat. Overly sweet and salty foods may not only induce cough variant asthma attacks, but also cause cough variant asthma. Therefore, patients with cough variant asthma should eat less sweets and overly sweet foods; and less salty and overly salty foods.

The above is an introduction about what to eat for children with allergic cough. In fact, there are many things that can be eaten for cough, generally some fruits rich in vitamins. However, parents need to pay attention that when the child’s cough is not relieved accordingly, they must go to the hospital for treatment in time, and cannot rely solely on diet to assist.
