Patient's question:
Doctor, my child is a 9-year-old boy. He has been coughing for some time. Can he eat purple sweet potatoes if he has phlegm in his cough?Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your baby has a cough, they can eat a small amount of purple sweet potato. Most coughs in babies are caused by phlegm in the throat. Using expectorant medication reasonably can be very helpful in treating respiratory diseases. If the phlegm in the throat is cleared, the cough symptoms will gradually improve. Children need a regular schedule, and parents should ensure they are well-protected from the cold. In daily diet, it's recommended to eat light, soft, and liquid foods, keep the room well-ventilated, and drink plenty of hot water.
