Question
Dear doctor, my daughter is 5 years old and has been constantly coughing recently without any phlegm. Her coughing is severe at night, and after a hospital check-up, she was diagnosed with bronchitis and received intravenous treatment. I would like to ask about diet therapy for pediatric bronchitis. What foods should be eaten? Thank you.
Answer
Children with bronchitis often have a close relationship with bacterial or viral infections. It is recommended to determine the appropriate medication for symptomatic treatment and to complement this with various diet therapy methods, such as drinking water with pear, rock sugar, and Fritillaria, or using garlic and rock sugar to boil water. Both of these methods can have a certain therapeutic effect on coughing. I hope the child’s symptoms will recover quickly! Wishing the patient a swift recovery to good health!
