Many parents believe that oranges are rich in vitamins and may often buy some for their children to eat. However, if a child catches a cold and has a special physical condition, parents may not dare to give them oranges, fearing that it may not be beneficial for their recovery from the cold. So, can children eat oranges when they have a cold?
Firstly, if a child catches a cold, they can eat oranges. Oranges contain a lot of vitamins, which are beneficial for enhancing children's immunity. Therefore, if children catch a cold, they can eat some oranges appropriately. However, when eating oranges, be careful not to keep them too cold, as it can easily irritate the child's digestive system and cause digestive problems.
Secondly, if a child has a cold, they should drink some hot water appropriately, keep warm, and wear more clothes. Parents should also pay attention to monitoring their children's body temperature. If there is a fever, physical methods should be used to cool it down in a timely manner to avoid continuous temperature rise, which may have a greater impact on the child's health. If a child has a severe cold, they can also take some traditional Chinese medicine appropriately, which has fewer side effects.
In addition, children have poor immunity and are prone to catching colds and other illnesses. At this time, parents should be careful not to let their children wear too little, as it can easily lead to catching a cold. If there is a high incidence of influenza, do not often take children out or go to crowded places, as it is easy to be infected with bacteria and subsequently catch a cold. If a child has a severe cold, they may need to be hospitalized for injections.
