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

Children with coughs should not only seek medical treatment in time for symptomatic treatment, but also need good care in their daily life, especially in terms of diet. Failure to pay attention may affect recovery from the disease, such as not eating spicy, cold, or pickled foods.

Foods that children cannot eat when coughing:

1. Spicy and irritating foods: Spices such as peppers, onions, ginger, garlic, etc. should not be added when the child is sick, otherwise it will aggravate the irritation to the throat and is not conducive to the relief of symptoms such as cough and sore throat.

2. Cold foods: such as ice cream, ice cream, cold drinks, etc., may stimulate the spasm of the trachea and bronchus after ingestion, thereby aggravating coughing. It may also cause gastrointestinal discomfort and induce symptoms such as abdominal distension, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.

3. Pickled foods: such as sauerkraut, pickles, pickled meat, etc., which contain more nitrite. Eating them is not conducive to the recovery of the throat mucosa and may also aggravate symptoms such as sore throat and cough.

Notes on children's cough:

In addition to the above common foods, children should also try not to eat fried foods during coughing. In addition to diet, they should also pay attention to keeping warm, avoid catching cold, and keep the indoor temperature appropriate.
