Children with pneumonia should not eat what

Patient's question:

Children with pneumonia should not eat what

Doctor's answer:

Got pneumonia, you can't eat high-sugar foods. A high-protein diet is not only necessary for the treatment of pediatric pneumonia, but also requires attention to avoiding certain dietary taboos in daily life.
(1) Avoid high-sugar foods. Sugar is a pure energy supplement, basically containing no other nutrients. If children with pneumonia eat too much sugar, their white blood cells' ability to fight infection will be inhibited. The more sugar they consume, the more significant the inhibition will be, leading to worsening conditions.
(2) Avoid a high-protein diet. The main component of meat, fish, and eggs is protein. 1 gram of protein absorbs 18 milliliters of water in the body, and the final product of protein metabolism is urea. If children eat a lot of protein, their excretion of urea will also increase. For every 300 milligrams of urea excreted, at least 20 milliliters of water must be taken away.
