Pertussis disease is mainly a respiratory system disease caused by infants and young children being infected with pertussis bacteria. However, this disease can be prevented by injecting pertussis bacteria vaccine. Occasionally, babies may still be infected. A mother asked, can pertussis be eaten with eggs and how should babies eat pertussis eggs?
When a baby has pertussis, the mother can let the baby eat eggs, mainly by making egg custard for the baby to eat. The specific method is to beat a fresh egg in a bowl, then add a small amount of rock sugar, stir evenly, and put it in a pot to steam for about 8 to 15 minutes over water. Then turn off the heat and take it out. When it is warmed up, it can be given to the baby. Making egg custard for the baby every day has a good auxiliary therapeutic effect on treating pertussis.
During the treatment of pertussis in babies, attention should be paid to avoiding eating raw and cold foods. This is because when babies are sick, their bodies are very weak and their immune abilities will also decrease. In addition, the spleen and stomach function is not yet mature. If they eat raw and cold foods, it is easy to stimulate the spleen and stomach, which not only causes abdominal pain and diarrhea, but also may stimulate the tracheal mucosa, making coughing and phlegm worse, which is not conducive to the recovery of the baby's body.
In addition, oily, spicy and stimulating foods, as well as seafood such as shrimp and fish, should not be given to babies. These foods are not beneficial for the recovery of babies' diseases. Pertussis disease requires a period of treatment to be cured, so mothers do not need to worry too much. They only need to follow the doctor's instructions, take good care of their diet, and let babies eat light, easily digestible and nutritious foods. Drinking more water in daily life can accelerate metabolism and promote the elimination of toxins in the body, so that they can recover their health as soon as possible.
