Patient's question:
I've had a cold for the past couple of days and have been coughing badly. My throat also feels uncomfortable. My wife bought some bananas today, and I'd like to ask if it's okay to eat bananas when you have a cold and cough?Doctor's answer:
Cold can be eaten bananas. Cough during cold is often due to reduced body resistance after catching cold. During cold, urethral mucosa congestion occurs, so symptoms like cough and phlegm may reappear. Active treatment is generally required. It is recommended to use active medication while consuming light and easily digestible foods, and to eat lung-moistening and blood-cooling foods like white pears and black fungus. During this period, pay attention to preventing colds by drinking warm drinks, avoiding colds, and not eating spicy and irritating foods. Cold can be eaten bananas. The more ripe the banana, the higher the auto-immune activity on its peel. Eating more bananas can enhance white blood cells in the body, stabilize immune system function, and increase human anti-aging immunity.
