Can children with cough eat eel congee?

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 young children eat eel porridge when they have a cough?

Doctor's answer:

For children's cough, it's important to determine the cause of the cough, whether it's due to allergic factors or whether there is phlegm in the lungs. This is crucial for treatment, as different causes require different approaches. It's necessary to go to the hospital for a thorough examination and then receive targeted treatment. Also, make sure to keep warm. There are many triggers that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in actively treating the condition, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
