What can't children eat when they have a cough?

Cough in children is a common disease. During a cough, children should avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, choose light and easily digestible foods, maintain adequate water intake and good rest, which will help relieve and recover from the cough.

1. Taboo Foods

1. Spicy and irritating foods include peppers, ginger, garlic, onions, etc. These foods are irritating and irritating, which can cause choking or aggravate inflammation, leading to aggravated cough symptoms. When children cough, try to avoid feeding them these foods. Spicy and irritating foods may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort, aggravating symptoms such as stomach discomfort or diarrhea. Children's gastrointestinal tract is relatively delicate, and eating too much irritating food will burden the gastrointestinal tract, which is not conducive to recovery.

2. Foods that are too sugary or too salty should also be eaten less or avoided. Too much sugar will irritate the throat mucosa and aggravate throat discomfort, while overly salty foods will aggravate edema in the body and affect the relief of coughs.

2. Suggestions

1. Mild and light food: such as porridge, clear soup, fruit, etc., can help soothe throat irritation, relieve cough symptoms, and are also beneficial to gastrointestinal health.

2. Keep the indoor air moist, maintain adequate water intake, and let your child rest more, which will help the recovery of cough.

Providing children with good diet and living habits is an important step in preventing and treating cough. I hope every parent can pay attention to their children's diet in the process of taking care of their children and give them the best care and attention.
