Can babies with a cold and cough eat oranges?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving lately and crying non-stop. Even the hospital check-up didn't help. Can babies with colds and coughs eat oranges?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, it is appropriate to eat some of it. The key is to identify the cause of the cough to treat it correctly. If it is a bacterial infection of the respiratory tract, antibiotics should be used; if it is a viral infection of the respiratory tract, antiviral drugs should be adopted; since most chronic coughs lasting over 2 months are allergic coughs, the focus should be on eliminating allergic inflammation of the respiratory tract. If it is combined with allergic rhinitis, it may be allergic bronchial rhinitis, and desensitization treatment should be the main approach.
