Coughing is a common respiratory disease in babies during their growth, and there are many reasons that can cause coughing in babies. It's okay if the baby coughs, what's important is how to deal with it correctly. Dietary therapy is a method that many parents choose, so let's take a look at whether babies can eat bananas if they have a slight cough?
Babies can eat bananas when coughing, but it is not advisable to eat too much. Due to the high starch content of bananas, they are a fruit rich in starch. If babies eat too much, it can easily cause indigestion, which can hinder their intake of staple foods and lead to malnutrition. When a baby coughs, their body feels uncomfortable and their appetite is usually not very good. If they consume too many bananas, their gastrointestinal function may be disrupted. Therefore, it is not advisable for babies to consume too many bananas during coughing.
During a baby's cough, try to eat less or avoid acidic fruits such as oranges, pomelos, etc. It is also best not to give sour apples to the baby. Because acidic foods have the effect of reducing phlegm, it is very harmful for babies to expel phlegm after eating them, and may even worsen coughing.
During coughing, one should eat more pears. Because pears have the effects of clearing and moistening the lungs, as well as quenching thirst, they have a good relieving and therapeutic effect on cough symptoms in babies. Therefore, it is important to adjust the diet during the baby's cough period. You can stew pear water for the baby to drink, which can moisturize the lungs and relieve cough.
