Summer children's pneumonia diet

The digestive function of children with pneumonia will be temporarily reduced. If the diet is not appropriate, it will cause indigestion and diarrhea. Give nutritious and easy-to-digest food according to the age characteristics of the child. Children who are breastfeeding should mainly drink milk, and can drink some water appropriately. Milk can be diluted with water appropriately, and feed less each time and increase the number of feedings. If choking occurs, the milk in the nostrils should be cleared in time.

Food taboos for children with pneumonia

(1) Avoid eating polysaccharides. Sugar is a calorie supplement with a simple function and basically does not contain other nutrients. If children with pneumonia eat too much sugar, the bactericidal effect of white blood cells in the body will be inhibited. The more sugar is consumed, the more obvious the inhibition will be, which will aggravate the condition.

(2) Avoid high-protein diets. The main components of lean meat, fish and eggs are proteins. 1 gram of protein absorbs 18 milliliters of water in the body, and the final product of protein metabolism is urea. Children who eat more protein will excrete more urea, and every 300 milligrams of urea excreted will take away at least 20 milliliters of water. Therefore, children with high fever and dehydration should avoid high-protein diets. In the later stages of the disease, they can supplement appropriately to improve their physical fitness.

(3) Avoid spicy food. Spicy food is very irritating and can easily generate heat and damage body fluids. Therefore, chili oil, pepper and spicy condiments should not be added to the diet of children with pneumonia.
