What should children eat to supplement nutrition when they have a cough

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Do not give children with severe cough cold or spicy foods. It is also best to avoid sweet fruits such as apples, bananas, grapes, etc. Pears and watermelon are better choices for fruits. Some parents give their children rock sugar or pearl milk with stewed pears, but in fact, sweet foods can increase heat and worsen inflammation instead.
