the changes in the weather make the tender baby easy to catch cold and cough. Obviously, if it is blind to the baby, it can play a role in some of the cough, but it will affect the baby's appetite. Poor appetite, poor nutrition, poor resistance. Baby cough, in addition to the cause of treatment, if during the cough during the diet taboo, can play a double effect, the specific attention should be paid to the following eight taboos:
: cold food
cough should not eat cold food, cold drink or frozen drink. 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 point, if you eat cold drinks again, it will easily cause lung qi occlusion, symptoms aggravate, and not heal for a long time.
cough in children may be accompanied by phlegm, and the amount of phlegm is related to the spleen. The spleen is the foundation of the day, responsible for the body's digestion and absorption of food. If you eat too much cold food, you will damage the spleen and stomach, resulting in the decrease of spleen function and the accumulation of damp and phlegm.
two avoid: fat and sweet food
Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. Eating plenty of fat and strong food in daily diet can cause internal heat, aggravate cough, and the sputum is thick and hard to cough. For children with asthma, excessive consumption of fat and fat can cause phlegm and heat to interpose, obstruct respiratory tract, aggravate asthma, and make the disease difficult to recover. So in the period of coughing should eat some light food. In addition, fried foods should not be eaten because fried foods will aggravate the burden of the stomach and intestines.
three taboos: fishy crabs
coughing will increase after eating fishy food, which is related to the smell irritation of the respiratory tract and the protein allergy to fish and shrimp food.
especially for some fish and egg allergy children, we should pay attention to avoid this kind of food.
four bogey: sweet and sour food
acid food will collect phlegm, make sputum not easy to cough, cause cough hard to heal.
eating sweets will make it difficult to recover from inflammation.
five avoid: eating oranges
many people think that oranges are antitussive and expectorant, so that children with coughing eat more oranges.
in fact, orange peel has the effect of relieving cough and phlegm, but orange flesh generates heat and sputum instead. In general, children can't eat orange peel without eating orange peel.
six bogey: eat too salty
eat too salty, easy to induce cough or make cough worse.
seven taboos: peanuts, melon seeds, chocolate and other
the above foods contain more oils and fats.
eight bogey: food supplement
many parents will take supplements to the weak children, but the child should stop taking tonic when the cough is not healed so as not to make the cough difficult to heal.
therefore, children should have a light diet during coughing. Children who have long coughed for a long time can be boiled with pear and sugar and boiled water. The effect is to moisten the lungs and relieve the cough.
can also be used for porridge with fresh lily bulbs, which is very effective for children with cough and lung qi deficiency.
for children with more spleen deficiency, they can eat more yam, or lotus seed gruel, Coix porridge and jujube porridge.
