Patient's question:
Hello, my child is a boy, 12 years old. He has been coughing recently, so I want to ask if it's okay for children to eat malt sugar when they have a cough.Doctor's answer:
Hello, if your child has a cough, it's best not to eat malt sugar because sugar is a component that promotes mucus production. Malt sugar itself is a type of sugar, and when dissolved in water, it becomes glucose, which is not conducive to coughing patients. If they do eat it, it may worsen the cough. Children should maintain a regular schedule, stay warm, and eat a light diet with plenty of warm water. I hope my answer helps you!
