Question

A parent of an 11-year-old boy is seeking medical advice. The child has recently developed cough symptoms, and the parent wants to know if it is suitable to feed the child fish during this period.

Answer

Children with coughs usually suffer from lung heat, so it is recommended that parents ensure their child consumes enough fresh fruits and vegetables to help cool down and reduce heat. For children with coughs, it is advised to use appropriate medication for treatment. During medication, it is best to avoid giving the child fish or shrimp and other seafood. It is also encouraged to have the child drink plenty of water. I hope these suggestions are helpful to you.
