Children cough and diet taboo

When a child has a cough, parents should pay more attention to their daily diet besides trying diet therapy.

1, fast cold food

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "cold-forming and cold-drinking will hurt the lungs", that is to say, once the body is cold, drinking cold products can hurt the lungs of the human body, and cough is mostly caused by lung diseases, which lead to lung qi failure and lung qi going up. At this time, if the diet is still too cold, it will easily lead to lung qi occlusion, aggravated symptoms, and will not heal for a long time.

2, fasting fat sweet thick food.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. In the daily diet, eating more fat and sweet flavor can produce internal heat, aggravate cough, and phlegm is sticky and difficult to cough up. For children with asthma, overeating fat and sweet can cause phlegm-heat interaction, block the respiratory tract, aggravate asthma, and make the disease difficult to heal. Therefore, you should eat some light food during coughing.

3. Fasting oranges

Many people think that oranges are cough-relieving and expectorant, so they let children with cough eat more oranges. In fact, orange peel does have the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but orange meat produces heat and phlegm instead. The average child can't eat orange peel instead of orange meat.

4. Avoid animal products.

As the saying goes, "fish make a fire, meat produces phlegm, and green vegetables and tofu keep you safe." Chinese medicine believes that fishy and greasy foods such as fish, crab, shrimp and fat meat may help damp and produce phlegm, and some may also cause allergic reactions and aggravate the condition.
