Oral taboos for pediatric asthma? Can you eat beef and mutton?

Patient's question:

Duration of onset and persistence of the illness: 30 days
Current general condition: Cough and wheezing, with audible sounds
Medical history: None

Doctor's answer:

The general dietary principles for asthmatic children are: light, easy to digest, and nutritionally balanced. They can eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, while limiting overly sweet, salty, cold, or hot foods. It is especially important to avoid spicy, fried, greasy, and rich foods. Try to avoid foods with too many additives and seasonings.
Children with weaker constitutions who have stable asthma can supplement their diet with appropriate food therapy methods when their condition is stable. For example:
- Grind walnuts and mix them with honey, then take 1 teaspoon daily.
- Remove the internal organs and eyes of geckos, then steam them with minced meat once a week.
- Alternatively, consuming dishes like braised duck with ginkgo nuts can help replenish vitality, moisturize the lungs, and alleviate asthma.
