Children with colds and coughs should pay attention to a light diet and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables.

Children's cold and cough are mainly caused by upper respiratory tract infection. It is suggested that patients should have a light diet, drink plenty of water and supplement the water needed by the body. You can eat more soft and digestible foods, such as porridge, noodles, egg soup, etc., and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods and greasy foods. You can eat more fresh vegetables and fruits, such as tomatoes, carrots, pears, apples, Fritillaria, yam, etc., to supplement the vitamins needed by the body, improve the body's immunity, and help to recover from colds. If the child's cold and cough symptoms persist, it is recommended to seek medical advice in time to avoid delaying the illness.
