Patient's question:
Because I have been living in my hometown for a long time, after coming back to Jiangsu, I have been coughing. It's mainly severe in the morning and evening. At first, it was a light cough, but later I heard phlegm in my throat that I couldn't cough up. Usually, it's not bad, but I have seen many doctors and taken many cough suppressants and anti-inflammatory drugs. However, none of them have improved.What kind of assistance is needed: Hello, what should the baby eat when coughing?
Doctor's answer:
① Persimmon: It is highly cold in nature and can clear heat, cool blood, and clear the lungs. However, babies should only eat one at a time, as eating too many may cause stomach discomfort.② Loquat: It is cool in nature and can moisten the lungs, resolve phlegm, and stop coughing. It is suitable for babies with hot cough who produce yellow and purulent phlegm. When a baby has wind-heat cough, they can also be given winter melon stew, stir-fried loofah, stir-fried lotus root slices, and stir-fried bitter gourd, which similarly help reduce internal heat, clear fire, and clear the lungs. Spicy and easily heating-up foods are strictly prohibited, such as mutton, dog meat, black-bone chicken, fish, shrimp, jujubes, longan meat, lychees, walnut kernels, chili peppers, cherries, and silkworm pupae.
