When children catch a cold, they often cough, which actually tightly grips the hearts of many mothers. Because children's coughs are usually recurrent and the condition is very unstable, this is also related to mothers not paying enough attention to dietary care when their children cough. Mothers should pay attention to their diet. So, can children cough and eat eggs?
It is best not to eat eggs when children cough. This is because eggs have high nutritional value and belong to high protein foods. They are difficult to digest after eating, which can affect intestinal digestion, reduce digestive function, and be difficult to absorb, resulting in bloating. So it is not recommended for children to cough and eat eggs. Moreover, when children cough, they often experience loss of appetite. If eggs are consumed, diarrhea may also occur. Therefore, when coughing, the diet should be mainly liquid food, and it should be light and easy to digest, making it easy for children to absorb.
Similarly, lean meat and fish, which are high protein foods similar to eggs, should be avoided as much as possible. They are not suitable to eat during coughing, as they not only do not relieve coughing, but may even worsen symptoms.
When children cough, unless the symptoms are severe, try to take medication as little as possible. Because children have poor immunity, long-term consumption can make them dependent on medication, damaging the body's immune system and weakening their resistance. Mothers can use humidifiers for their children because when they cough, their throat feels uncomfortable. Humidifiers can humidify the indoor environment, thereby reducing the child's symptoms. Finally, drink plenty of water as it can moisten the throat and relieve dryness, itching, and coughing.
