Question
What are the dietary precautions for children with asthma? Can they eat foods like beef and mutton?
Answer
The dietary principle for asthma children should be light, easy to digest, and nutritionally balanced. It is recommended to consume a variety of fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and to avoid overly sweet, salty, cold, or hot foods, especially spicy, fried, and fatty foods. In addition, it is advisable to avoid foods containing too many additives and flavorings. When the condition is stable, children with weak constitutions can be supplemented with necessary dietary treatments, such as mixing walnuts with honey for consumption, steaming meat with pangolin powder, or simmering white fungus with duck, which all help to nourish the body, moisten the lungs, and alleviate asthma.
