Question

What should I feed my baby if they cough in the morning and evening?

Answer

When your baby has a cough, you can offer foods that have a cooling, cooling blood, and lung-clearing effect, such as persimmons and loquats. Persimmons are cold in nature and can clear the lungs, but they should not be eaten in large quantities to avoid discomfort. Loquats are also cool and can moisten the lungs, dissolve phlegm, and relieve coughing, making them suitable for babies with hot coughs. Additionally, you can give your baby vegetables that have a cooling, fire-dispersing, and lung-clearing effect, such as winter melon, luffa, lotus root slices, and bitter melon. At the same time, it is important to avoid feeding them spicy or heat-inducing foods such as lamb, dog meat, black-bone chicken, fish, shrimp, jujube, longan meat, lychee, walnuts, chili peppers, cherries, and silkworms.
