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. Could you please tell me what foods children with cough should avoid?Doctor's answer:
Babies with cough should not eat sweet foods, such as candies and biscuits. Nuts should also be avoided as they can worsen the cough, like peanuts and almonds. Ice and oranges should not be consumed either. There are many reasons that can cause respiratory issues in children. If a child is diagnosed with a respiratory condition, parents need to cooperate with the doctor to start treatment immediately, assist with gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. Parents should be mindful not to let their children develop picky eating habits and ensure a balanced diet.
