What can't you eat when you cough?
1, avoid the cold
My throat is very sensitive when I cough with a cold. Cold food can easily irritate my throat and make my cold painful. When you are sick, you need to avoid all cold food, especially cold drinks.
On the one hand, this kind of food aggravates the condition of throat, on the other hand, its hygiene and safety are often worrying. If it is a cold and fever caused by infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery caused by unclean food, the digestive function will decline. Drinking cold drinks at this time will not only aggravate the condition, but also lead to a serious deterioration of the condition and even endanger life.
2, avoid sweet and sour food
Sour food will accumulate phlegm, making it difficult to cough up phlegm, which makes it difficult to cure cough. Eating more sweets will make inflammation difficult to heal. When the cough is severe, common fruits such as watermelon, pear, banana, kiwi fruit, apple, banana, orange and grape are not edible!
3, avoid coriander
For people with colds and coughs, be sure to avoid coriander. We all have different degrees of qi deficiency when we have a cold and cough, but coriander is pungent and can be scattered. If we eat it at this time, it will consume gas and damage our spirit, thus aggravating the degree of colds and coughs.
Not only people with colds can't eat coriander, but people who are prone to colds and coughs should also stay away from coriander to avoid causing or aggravating qi deficiency. Experts pointed out that patients who recover after childbirth and illness often have a certain degree of qi deficiency, so coriander should also be avoided.
4, avoid fat and sweetness
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. Eating more fat and sweet flavor in daily diet will cause excessive internal heat and aggravate cough. In addition, fried foods should not be eaten more. Because fried food will increase the burden on the stomach, breed sputum, and make cough difficult to heal.
5, avoid spicy food
Many people cough for a long time after catching a cold. The reason is that they didn't control their mouths. When they feel almost good, they can't help drinking spicy food. During a cold, the body temperature will rise and the metabolism in the body will increase rapidly. Avoid eating all spicy food at this time.
If spicy food stimulates bacterial infection and invades tracheal mucosa, bronchitis will form. At this time, the cough will be aggravated, sputum will be formed, and the cough will become persistent.
6, avoid eating oranges
Many people think that oranges can relieve cough and resolve phlegm. Although orange peel does have the function of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, orange peel meat will generate heat and resolve phlegm instead.
7. Avoid eating mutton, duck and pork.
Because colds and coughs are exogenous diseases, the treatment should be based on evacuation and reconciliation. However, duck meat is cold, rich in honey and stagnant, easy to slip the intestines and gather evil spirits, and pork is fat and greasy, which helps to dry dampness and phlegm, dispel wind and astringe dampness; Mutton is warm and helps heat, but it is often warmer in the middle and warmer in the lower part, which has the disadvantage of converging evil.
8, avoid fishy shrimp and crab
Cough patients will get worse after eating this kind of food, which is related to the irritation of fishy smell to respiratory tract and protein allergy to fish and shrimp food. In particular, patients who are allergic to some fish and eggs should pay more attention to avoiding such foods.
9, avoid eating too salty
Eating too salty can easily induce cough or make it worse. Don't eat peanuts, melon seeds and chocolate either. This kind of food contains a lot of oil, and it is easy to breed phlegm after eating, which makes the cough worse.
10, dietary supplement
Some people think that frequent colds and coughs are bad for their health, so they try their best to increase nutrition and take supplements. American ginseng, for example, is always considered "cold". In fact, when you are sick, it is better to "make up" less other ginseng and red ginseng.
