A five-year-old child with a cough: What foods are good to eat?

Patient's question:

Doctor, my child is a girl, 5 years old, and she has been coughing for a while. What should a 5-year-old child eat for cough?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, based on your description, the diet for a coughing baby should be light and include plenty of fresh vegetables. You can consume small amounts of lean meat or poultry. Avoid greasy foods, as oranges are not suitable for wind-heat cough. Do not eat sour foods, as they can hinder mucus discharge. Children need a regular daily routine, and parents should ensure they are well protected against the cold. The above suggestions are for this issue, and we hope they are helpful to you.
