The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming, which is also the time when a large number of pomelos are on the market. Yuzu is rich in vitamin C and various trace elements, which can have the effects of moistening the lungs, nourishing the liver, and converging yang energy. It is a very suitable fruit for consumption in autumn. When a child is sick, many parents know to pay attention to their child's diet. So, can children eat grapefruit for colds and coughs?
After a child catches a cold, supplementing a large amount of vitamins can improve the body's ability to resist virus invasion, and grapefruit is rich in vitamin C, which can play a corresponding role in promoting cold recovery. Therefore, if a child only has a simple cold, eating grapefruit can promote recovery. However, if the cold is accompanied by severe coughing, acidic fruits such as grapefruit and oranges are best not to be eaten because they have the effect of reducing phlegm. After consumption, it is difficult to expel phlegm, which can make the child's cough symptoms more severe.
Yuzu is a fruit with a cold attribute, but its coldness is not as strong as pear and watermelon. However, for young children, they should not eat too much Yuzu at once, and usually only eat two pieces at most. If it is found that a child has pomelo residue in their stool the next day after eating pomelo, then the amount of pomelo consumed by the child needs to be further reduced, or it is best to squeeze the pomelo into juice for the child to drink.
