One should not eat cold drinks or frozen drinks when coughing. Chinese medicine believes that "cold drinking will hurt the lungs", that is to say, the body is cold and drinking cold products can hurt the lungs of the human body, and coughing is mostly caused by lung diseases. Lung qi is not clear and lung qi is 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. Whether children or adults, cough is often accompanied by phlegm, and the amount of phlegm is related to the spleen. Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, which is in charge of the digestion and absorption of human diet. If you eat too much cold food, it will hurt the spleen and stomach, causing the function of the spleen to decline, gathering dampness and producing phlegm.
Second, avoid fat, sweet and thick food. Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially for 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. Don't eat too much fried food. When a child coughs, the gastrointestinal function is weak, and fried food can increase the gastrointestinal burden, help damp and heat, breed sputum, and make cough difficult to heal.
Three bogey fishy shrimps and crabs Most people know that coughing needs to avoid "hair" and should not eat fishy smell. Fishy smell has the greatest influence on "wind-heat cough". The cough of children with cough is aggravated after eating fishy food, which is related to the stimulation of respiratory tract by fishy smell and protein allergy to fish and shrimp food. Children who are allergic to some fish and eggs should pay more attention, among which silver carp and hairtail have the greatest influence.
Four bogey sweet and sour food sour food often accumulates phlegm, making it difficult to cough up phlegm, thus aggravating the condition and making cough difficult to heal. Even some sweet and sour fruits, such as apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, etc., should not be eaten when cough is severe. Eating more sweets will also help heat up, making inflammation difficult to cure. There is a folk habit of "stewing raw pears with rock sugar" to treat cough, which is inappropriate for the first cough (new cough).
Five don't eat oranges. Many people think that oranges are cough-relieving and expectorant, so 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. It is generally impossible for children to eat orange peel instead of orange meat.
Six bogey eating too salty is easy to induce cough or make it worse.
Seven bogey peanuts, melon seeds, chocolate and other foods contain more oil, which is easy to breed sputum after eating, making cough worse. Eat less chocolate even if the baby is not sick. Chocolate is a high calorie, high sugar and high fat food, which is not easy to digest, and can affect the appetite of infants and children and the intake of other nutrients.
In addition, the heavy taste of chocolate dulls the baby's taste. Because of its high viscosity, substances containing more sugar are easily embedded in the teeth to form dental caries. Try to make infants eat less chocolate for their health. Eight don't eat supplements Many parents give some supplements to their weak children, but they should stop taking supplements when their cough is not cured, so as not to make it difficult to cure.
