Patient's question:
The child has been feeling unwell these past couple of days with a slight cold and a bit of a cough. They are drinking something today. I saw some fresh produce at the market and bought some. I was wondering if the child, with a cold and cough, can eat shrimp?Doctor's answer:
Children with a cold and cough should not eat shrimp. During the treatment period for a cold, the diet should be light and avoid spicy and greasy foods. It is advisable to let the child drink more and eat more fruits and vegetables to aid digestion and replenish vitamins. Vitamin C can help eliminate viruses. Rest more and drink more millet, corn, and porridge. Pay close attention to monitoring data, such as body temperature, to avoid fever. Do not drink randomly. There is no medicine for viral colds; it can only be by the body's immune cells. Providing sufficient nutrition for the immune cells is essential.
