What kind of diet is helpful for children's cough?
I can tell you some dietary advice that can help relieve your child's cough symptoms. Please note that the following suggestions are for reference only. If your child's symptoms are serious or last for a long time, please consult a doctor in time.

1. Drink plenty of water: keeping enough water intake is helpful to dilute mucus and relieve cough symptoms. Provide children with enough water or other decaffeinated liquids, such as warm water, warm soup or fruit juice.

2. Warm food and drink: Hot food and drink can relieve sore throat and cough. For example, warm chicken soup, warm tea or honey lemonade.

3. Foods high in vitamin C: Vitamin C helps to enhance the immune system function and promote the body's resistance to infection. Citrus fruits (such as oranges and lemons), strawberries and tomatoes are all foods rich in vitamin C.

4. Mild condiments: Some mild condiments, such as ginger, garlic and onion, have anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects and can relieve cough symptoms. These condiments can be added to children's meals.

5. Avoid irritating food: Some foods may irritate the throat and aggravate cough symptoms. These foods include spicy food, fried food, chocolate, coffee and so on. It is best to avoid these foods during the child's cough. Diet is only an auxiliary measure to relieve cough symptoms. If the child's symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time to get more professional diagnosis and treatment suggestions.
