Patient's question:
What kind of food is good for children with colds, fever, and cough?Doctor's answer:
To supplement sufficient water and enough calories, foods like congee, milk, soy milk, vegetable soup, and fruit juice are easily digestible, nutritious, and suitable for people with colds. At the same time, patients with colds should also drink more water, such as boiled water or mineral water. During a cold, the body's constitution weakens, affecting appetite and reducing digestive ability. It is best to avoid foods that are difficult to digest and greasy. Instead, choose easily digestible foods rich in protein, such as milk, tofu, and fish. Avoid fatty and greasy foods like chicken, duck, and fried foods, as they can hinder digestion and impede recovery. Additionally, during a cold, it is important to increase vitamin intake. Fresh fruits and vegetables contain a high amount of vitamins.
