Patient's question:
The child has been suffering from a severe cold and cough recently, with phlegm every time they cough. I want to ask the doctor how to relieve the cough with phlegm in children with colds.Doctor's answer:
When a child has a cough, the diet should be light, and fresh fruits and vegetables should be eaten more. Noodles, congee, and similar meals are suitable, but the child should not consume puffed snacks, sugary and spicy snacks, fats, fried foods, ultra-cold instant foods, or refrigerated foods.On a daily basis, we should pay attention to diet to enhance immunity. Poor nutrition in children weakens their immune system, making colds and coughs very common. Some children may even stay in the hospital for half a month. Only by strengthening a child's immunity can we prevent bacterial infections. For example, colostrum powder, protein powder, and cross-linked vitamin powder are health supplements that can boost immunity.
