Question
What Foods Should Children Avoid When They Have a Cough?
Answer
Children with a cough should not consume sweet foods like candies and cookies. Nuts should also be avoided as they can make coughing worse, such as peanuts and almonds. Cold foods and oranges should be avoided as well. There are many causes for respiratory problems in children, and if a child is diagnosed with a respiratory issue, parents need to cooperate with the doctor for immediate treatment, including gastrointestinal pressure reduction, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should also be cautious not to foster picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
