Question
Can children eat watermelons when they have a cough?
Answer
It is recommended to avoid eating watermelons when a child has a cough. This is because watermelons are relatively cool fruits and may increase respiratory secretions and worsen cough symptoms. Additionally, it is advised to drink plenty of water to keep the body well-hydrated, and to monitor the child’s cough closely. If the cough is severe, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
