When a baby is sick and uncomfortable, it is not only necessary to actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment, but also to regulate their diet, which is beneficial for the baby's body to recover as soon as possible. Although dietary regulation is important, it should be noted that not all foods can be eaten. If the baby eats inappropriate foods, it may worsen the baby's condition. A mother asked, can the baby eat eggs when coughing?
If the baby is only coughing without symptoms of fever, or if the baby's cough is not an allergic cough, then the mother can give the baby some eggs to eat, but must pay attention to the appropriate amount and not eat too much, mainly because eggs contain a lot of protein, but these proteins are difficult to digest, especially the yolk of eggs, which is even more difficult to digest.
During the period when a baby coughs and gets sick, all systems of the baby's body are in a relatively weak state, especially the digestive system. The peristalsis of the gastrointestinal tract will slow down. If the baby eats too many difficult to digest eggs, it may lead to indigestion and even worsen the condition. Therefore, when coughing, it is necessary to control the baby to eat less eggs, preferably easily digestible foods such as porridge or soft and rotten noodles, in order to facilitate the recovery of the baby's cough disease.
In addition, if the baby's cough is caused by allergies, it is not recommended for the baby to eat eggs. This is because the protein contained in eggs is actually an allergen, especially for babies with protein allergies, the use of eggs is absolutely prohibited. If the mother does not pay attention and lets the baby cough due to allergies eat eggs, it may worsen the baby's cough condition and even trigger more serious pneumonia.
