Can children with coughs eat eggs?

Patient's question:

These days, my boss said I'm not in good spirits, which has affected my work performance. Actually, I didn't want to, either. I often can't sleep at night, and sometimes feel anxious and uncomfortable. If it gets worse, I'm worried it will affect my health and work. By the way, can children with coughs eat eggs?

Doctor's answer:

It is not advisable to eat eggs. Because during a cold or cough, it is not recommended to consume "fattening" foods, as they can easily worsen the condition. Eggs are considered "fattening" foods. Eating eggs can lead to increased heat and phlegm. Therefore, it is not recommended to give children eggs.
There are many factors that can affect a child's respiratory system. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in active treatment, follow gastrointestinal decompression measures, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should pay attention not to develop picky eating habits in their children and ensure a balanced diet.
