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.
You can't eat cold drinks and ice cream after a cold. After a cold, the functions of various organs of the body are declining. Drinking cold drinks and eating ice cream will reduce the function of digestive organs such as the stomach, affect the absorption of food and aggravate the condition.

If you are taking antipyretics or cold medicines containing antipyretic ingredients, you should not take honey at the same time. Many cold medicines, such as Tylenol, Crack, Ganliko, Ganmaoqing, etc. All contain acetaminophen, which will form a complex when it meets honey, affecting the absorption rate of the body, thus weakening the antipyretic effect.

Eggs are indeed nutritious, but it is not advisable to eat more eggs during fever. This is because protein in eggs will generate some extra heat after being decomposed in the body, which will increase the body heat, aggravate the fever symptoms, prolong the fever time and increase the patient's pain.
9, barbecue fried products
Barbecue and fried food, such as fried toast, fried pork chops, barbecue, etc. Although delicious, it is not easy to digest and delay recovery, which is not conducive to the early recovery of the disease.

1 1, coriander
For people who have a cold, you must avoid eating coriander. We all have different degrees of qi deficiency when we have a cold, but coriander is spicy and can be scattered. If we eat it at this time, it will consume gas and damage our spirit, thus aggravating the degree of cold. Not only people who have a cold can't eat coriander, but people who are prone to colds should also stay away from coriander to avoid causing or aggravating qi deficiency.

During a cold, the daily salt intake can be controlled within 5 grams.

Mussels, also known as mussels, are cold in nature and have the function of nourishing yin and cooling. Eating more will hinder the evacuation of pathogenic factors.

15, cold food
Cold foods such as crabs will affect the digestive function of the body, especially the function of the digestive system, and affect the recovery of colds.
16, fat, sweet and thick
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.
17, orange
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.
