Can young children eat very spicy food?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Women should avoid spicy and irritating foods, especially in the early stages of pregnancy. It's not just pregnant women who should avoid very spicy foods; even normal people shouldn't eat excessively spicy things, as they can cause significant harm to the stomach and easily damage the superficial mucous membrane of the stomach. It's better to eat lighter and simpler dishes.
