What fruits and vegetables are good for children with colds and coughs?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Vegetables and fruits cannot replace medicine, so medication should still be the primary treatment.
Suggestions:
If you prefer dietary therapy, you can give the child some dishes like braised pears with rock sugar, braised pork ribs with lotus seeds, or braised water chestnuts with jellyfish, etc. However, it is best to take these under the guidance of a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner, as coughing is categorized into cold and heat, and foods are also classified as cool and warm. Eating the wrong combination can actually worsen the condition.
