Question
Can children drink chicken soup with mushrooms during a cold and cough?
Answer
Since mushrooms are considered to be irritants that can trigger coughing, it is not advisable to feed them chicken soup with mushrooms during a cold and cough. For treatment, common cold medicine can be administered, and attention should be given to rest, vitamin supplementation, eating more fruits and vegetables, and being aware of possible complications such as viral influenza, tonsillitis, otitis media, or pneumonia. It is recommended to seek medical assistance for diagnosis and treatment. In managing symptoms, temperature control should be noted to prevent febrile convulsions, and antipyretic medication should be used.
