The diet should also be light, and you can eat vegetable cakes, but try to eat as little as possible.
Some foods must not be eaten.
First of all, candy
You must not eat candy when you cough, even a small piece. Candy is sweet and greasy, which will help damp and produce phlegm and aggravate cough.
When the child coughs, the mother must strictly control it and never eat sugar. Hard candy, soft candy, lollipops and other ordinary sweets should not be eaten, and chocolate and cotton candy should also be eaten less or not.
Second, cake dessert
Cake dessert is very attractive, but these attractive foods are high in oil and sugar. Most cakes are made of vegetable cream, which contains a lot of trans fatty acids, and normal consumption will cause a burden on the body.
When you cough, you will get wet phlegm. Those children who used to cough quickly will get worse after eating sweet and greasy cakes, and their sputum will suddenly increase.
During the period when the cough is not cured, no matter how tempting the cake dessert is, it should be controlled not to give it to the baby.
Third, fish, shrimp and seafood.
Some mothers think that their babies are weak when they are sick, and thin when they are sick. If they don't eat well and supplement nutrition, their babies will be more wasteful. Therefore, the more babies cough, the more they should eat some nutritious food.
In fact, this idea is wrong. As the saying goes, "fish makes a fire, and meat produces phlegm." Fish, shrimp and seafood are mostly high-protein foods, which are not easy to digest. When coughing due to yin deficiency or indigestion, these foods will increase the burden on the stomach.
At the same time, my own cold and dampness can't go on under the guidance of stomach qi. These cold and dampness are transformed into heat, which fumigates the lungs and will aggravate the cough.
When the baby coughs, she must be willing to let her not eat fish, shrimp and seafood.
4. Fried food
Some babies like to eat fried foods, such as French fries, fried chicken wings and fried pork chops ... These fried foods will cause yin deficiency when eaten at ordinary times, and will further aggravate the symptoms of yin deficiency when coughing. The fried food itself is hot. Eating it when coughing will increase the burden on the stomach and cause hot phlegm. Cough can be cured.
During coughing, you must not eat fried food. A vegetarian diet based on porridge, steaming and cooking can help the body recover.
Five, cheese
Cheese food will also be converted into heat due to yin deficiency, leading to dampness and phlegm, so don't eat sandwiches and pizzas containing cheese during the baby's cough.
Six, fat sweet thick greasy food
Fat, sweet and greasy food is wet and produces phlegm, which will also aggravate the symptoms of spleen deficiency and lung heat. I told her to control her diet, and the whole family ate vegan for a week first.
Many babies cough badly. In fact, in addition to their own reasons, eating too much at home is also a pit!
Seven, melon seeds, peanuts and other nuts
When the weather gets cold, nuts such as melon seeds and peanuts become hot. Eating these foods at ordinary times will also aggravate the dryness and heat, and eating too much is easy to get angry. Eating melon seeds and peanuts during coughing will add fuel to the fire, aggravating throat discomfort and coughing.
Other deeply processed nuts are artificially added with some sweeteners during processing, so try not to eat them when coughing.
Of course, not all nuts are inedible. Walnut has the function of relieving cough. Take a handful of walnuts, boil the water to make it warm, and add a spoonful of honey to treat tracheitis. Suitable for children over 3 years old.
Eight, hot fruit
Many baby coughs are caused by yin deficiency. In the case of yin deficiency, if you eat hot fruit, it will add fuel to the fire and your cough will be more serious.
It is not advisable to eat longan, mango, durian, pineapple, jackfruit, litchi and other hot fruits during cough. In addition, other fruits can also be eaten, as long as the amount is appropriate.
In short, it is very important to keep your mouth shut when coughing. The diet must be light. If the child can't control it, adults must help him.
