Question
Doctor, I have something to say. My son is 14 years old and has been coughing recently. Can a child with a cough eat pizza?
Answer
If your baby is experiencing a cough again, it’s advisable not to eat foods like pizza. Pizza is rich in ingredients, including meats, vegetables, and carbohydrates. The bread, sauce, and cheese in pizza contain a considerable amount of salt, and excessive consumption may lead to severe coughing. Therefore, it’s best to limit pizza intake when coughing. Maintain a regular routine, take precautions against the cold, ensure good ventilation, and drink plenty of hot water. Lastly, pay attention to maintaining a positive mood in daily life, as a good mood can be very helpful for recovery from illness.
