Cold is a common illness, and people who are not careful, catch a cold or are infected with influenza virus can easily get a cold. Babies have weaker bodies and are more prone to catching colds. At this time, parents should take good care of their children and balance their diet reasonably. So, can babies eat cake when they have a cold?
When a baby has a cold, they can eat cake, but only in small amounts, and do not give them overly sweet cakes, otherwise it will increase the burden on their respiratory system. Children should be given more light and vitamin C-rich foods, such as vegetables and fruits, and encouraged to drink more water.
If a child has severe coughing symptoms during a cold, they cannot eat cake. This is because cakes belong to the category of sweets, which are high in oil and sugar, and many of the cream in cakes is made from plant-based cream. However, plant-based cream contains trans fatty acids, which can cause a burden on the body even when eaten regularly and have no health benefits.
Eating cake during a cold and cough can cause dampness and phlegm, especially after eating a sweeter and more greasy cake, which can easily worsen cough symptoms and lead to a sudden increase in phlegm. Parents should prepare some cough relieving food, such as snow pear, pipa, etc., when their children are coughing, which has excellent cough relieving effect and is very helpful for their children's physical recovery.
