Question

Can children eat oranges when they have a cold and cough?

Answer

Although oranges can be beneficial for the common cold, it’s advisable to avoid serving them cold to children with a cold. It’s suggested to heat the oranges before serving them in small quantities. Additionally, children should continue taking their cold medicine and lung-clearing medicine until they fully recover. Generally, it’s recommended to keep taking the medication for two more days after the cough subsides before discontinuing it.
