Question
Doctor, I have something to ask. My son is 12 years old and has been coughing recently. Can a child with a cough eat oyster sauce stir-fried vegetables?
Answer
Based on the described situation, the child’s recurring cough may be due to an upper respiratory infection or bronchitis, which is a common respiratory disease. If the cough recurs, it is recommended to consult a pediatrician for symptomatic treatment. It’s not advisable for a baby to consume spicy foods when they have a cough, but oyster sauce can be considered. I hope my explanation helps!
