Question
My child has been coughing for the past two days, especially worse in the morning and evening. What are some good foods for a child with a cough?
Answer
Coughing is a normal protective response of the body, through which pathogens and phlegm in the respiratory tract can be expelled. This is an important function for cleaning the respiratory tract and keeping it always clear. It is recommended to eat spicy, cool, and light foods such as chrysanthemum, tea leaves, cabbage, white carrots, sweet pears, sweet oranges, apples, tangerines, and kiwis. At the same time, children should increase their rest and strengthen their constitution. It is suggested that you pay attention to your child’s cold prevention in daily life, eat more vegetables and fruits, and also should go to a regular hospital for a detailed examination to clarify the cause of the disease and treat it accordingly. Regularly check body temperature. In addition to medication, it is also recommended that children strengthen their physical exercise and build up their constitution.
