Patient's question:
Doctor, because of a sore throat and cough, I got a cold. Now I'm coughing again and still have a cold. Tonight, my family is planning to have a hot pot, and I really want to eat lamb. Hello doctor, is it okay for me to eat lamb like this? I'm so upset that it might get worse.Doctor's answer:
People with colds are not recommended to eat mutton, especially hot pot mutton. People with colds are generally in a contagious state, and under this condition, the body's absorption capacity is increased. Eating high-protein foods like mutton will put pressure on the absorption function. If it's hot pot mutton, it also requires eating a lot of sesame paste-like high-fat foods and high-salt foods, which can cause more local irritation to the throat in this situation.
