Question

Hello doctor, my nephew has a cold and has taken medicine for it. Can he eat taro now? Please give me some advice.

Answer

Hello, I’m glad to assist you: Based on your inquiry, as long as the child’s digestive function is normal, they can eat taro without affecting the recovery process from the common cold. Of course, when a child has a cold, they should pay attention to a light diet, avoid greasy foods and snacks, drink plenty of plain water, stay warm, and get adequate rest. Additionally, taking the appropriate medication for treatment is essential. If you need more detailed advice, it is recommended to consult the relevant department of a local hospital.
