Patient's question:
Can children with cold and fever eat bananas?Doctor's answer:
Bananas are cooling fruits and belong to the category of cooling foods, which can help reduce internal heat and aid in digestion. When experiencing bloating or constipation, eating bananas can effectively improve these conditions. However, it is important to note that people with symptoms of spleen deficiency or those with a more cold-sensitive constitution, especially those experiencing cold hands and feet, should avoid eating bananas. When children have a cold and fever, it is best to limit their intake of cold foods, so bananas should not be given to children after a fever. Additionally, bananas promote bowel movements, so if the child is also experiencing diarrhea, it is even more inadvisable to consume bananas.
