Question
My child had a particularly severe cold when they were young, and subsequent treatment may have been delayed, leading to the development of asthma. I am especially worried about asthma recurrence during winter. I want to know what dietary precautions should be taken?
Answer
Children with asthma should pay attention to their nutritional intake, including foods rich in protein and iron such as lean meat, animal liver, tofu, and soy milk. These foods not only contain high-quality protein and iron but also do not increase phlegm or heat, helping to enhance physical fitness and disease resistance, and promote tissue repair. High-protein foods can also increase calories and boost disease resistance. Those with poor digestion should adopt small meals more frequently.
