Can children with cough eat glutinous rice?

Patient's question:

Hello doctor, my child is a 5-year-old boy. He has been coughing recently. Can children with cough eat glutinous rice?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your description, it is recommended not to give the child rice for the time being. Rice is relatively difficult to digest. During a cold, the body's immunity is weak, and the spleen and stomach's digestive function is also weak. If medication is used, it may also stimulate the stomach. During a cold, maintain a light diet and eat more fruits and vegetables. Parents should take good care to prevent cold and keep warm, eat light and soft foods in daily diet, ventilate frequently, and drink more hot water.
