Patient's question:
My baby has had a cold for nearly a month. Symptoms include coughing, nasal congestion, and runny nose. After taking medicine, the symptoms were relieved, but they started to worsen again just a few days after stopping the medication. What kind of food should the baby eat when they have a cold?Doctor's answer:
The child has a cold again. Pay attention to a light diet, preferably easily digestible foods. Also, be careful not to eat greasy foods. Children with colds should drink more water to help digest fluids, moisten the respiratory tract, slow down metabolism and detoxification, which aids in a complete recovery. Additionally, they should eat more fruits and vegetables. The patient needs to go to a formal, top-tier hospital as soon as possible for systematic and standardized examination based on their condition to receive targeted treatment and recover quickly.
