1, drink cold drinks and eat cold food

Chinese medicine believes that once the body is cold, it will hurt the lungs of the human body, and cough is mostly caused by lung diseases.

At this time, if you eat cold drinks again, it will easily lead to lung qi occlusion, aggravated symptoms, and will not heal for a long time. At the same time, the amount of phlegm is also related to the spleen. Eating too much cold food will also hurt the spleen and stomach, causing the function of the spleen to decline.

2. Fried food

Cough is also mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. Daily fried food should not be eaten too much. Because fried food will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract and produce sputum, which makes it difficult to cure cough.

Fried food is not easy to digest, and it is easy to make children's stomachs feel full, thus affecting their interest in taking other foods and their appetite.

3. Fish, shrimp and seafood food

Cough children will get worse after eating fishy food, which is related to the fishy smell stimulating respiratory tract and protein allergy to fish and shrimp food.

Especially children who are allergic to some fish and eggs should pay more attention to avoiding this kind of food, among which silver carp and hairtail have the greatest influence.

4. Sweet and sour food

Sour food will gather phlegm, making it difficult to cough up phlegm, leading to cough difficult to heal. Eating more sweets will make inflammation difficult to heal.

For example, many people think that oranges are cough-relieving and phlegm-resolving. In fact, orange peel does have the effect of cough-relieving and phlegm-resolving, but eating too much orange meat will cause heat and phlegm.

5. Eating too much salt and too salty food.

First of all, excessive salt intake is the cause of upper respiratory tract infection, because high-salt diet can reduce oral saliva secretion and lysozyme accordingly, which provides an opportunity for the invasion of various bacteria and viruses.

In addition, a large amount of salt is a burden to the child's immature kidneys.

6, melon seeds, chocolate

Foods such as melon seeds and chocolate contain more oil, which is easy to breed sputum after eating, making cough worse.

For children with cough, the daily diet must be light, but it should be nutritious and easy to digest and absorb. Children with loss of appetite can make some light and delicious digestible foods such as porridge, slice soup and noodle soup.

7. Take supplements

Many parents will give supplements to children with weak constitution, but children should stop taking supplements when their cough is not cured, so as not to make it difficult to cure.

It is suggested that you can drink more water for your baby and eat some fruits and vegetables with the functions of moistening lung, promoting fluid production, relieving cough and resolving phlegm, such as pear, water chestnut, lily, citrus, pomegranate, grape, lotus root and tremella, but you can't eat too much.

Giving children more seasonal fruits can help them to supplement the vitamins they need in time and improve their immunity. Children are less sick and mothers are at ease.
