Question

Can a baby eat egg yolk when they have phlegm?

Answer

In a situation where the baby is constantly crying and not eating much, the question arises whether it’s okay to feed them egg yolk when they have phlegm.

Answer

Based on the information provided, eggs are classified as irritants and should not be consumed during colds or coughs to prevent exacerbating the condition. When there is inflammation, it is advisable to avoid eating eggs, fish, shellfish, and other irritants, and to focus on light foods. If the baby’s cough is severe, it is suggested to prepare some Lo Han Guo Lean Meat Soup or Houttuynia Herba Lean Meat Soup for them to drink. Additionally, there are no special requirements for the baby’s sleeping position as long as they do not sleep on their stomach. It is also important to pay attention to a balanced diet, consuming more fresh vegetables and fruits, and timely supplementing with various vitamins.
