Children love to eat sugar, but many parents believe that eating too much sugar can lead to dental caries, so they limit their children's sugar intake. In fact, as long as you eat sugar correctly, it will not cause dental caries. For example, after giving children sugar, they should brush their teeth and rinse their mouth in a timely manner. So, can children cough and eat candy?
Children should not eat sugar when coughing, as sugar can stimulate the airway and digestive tract. Many people believe that coughing is only caused by respiratory diseases. In fact, after eating sugar, the secretion of stomach acid increases, which can lead to symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux. This can stimulate the esophagus and easily worsen cough symptoms
If a child coughs, do not give them candy or drink sugary drinks. This is because coughing can easily cause discomfort in the stomach, and if children are given sugary drinks, it can easily worsen the cough and trigger vomiting symptoms. Moreover, drinking sugary drinks can make children unwilling to eat, and during periods of illness and coughing, the body needs to replenish energy to combat the disease.
Giving children glucose water when coughing is also not possible, but they can drink some honey water. Honey contains many nutrients, which can not only supplement nutrition for babies, but also promote the discharge of phlegm and relieve cough symptoms. So when a child coughs, it's worth drinking some honey water.
