Due to the immature development of the baby's immune and disease resistant system, it is highly susceptible to the invasion of external bacteria and bacteria in daily life, leading to common illnesses such as colds, coughs, and fevers. Once the baby becomes ill and uncomfortable, in addition to active treatment, dietary therapy is also crucial. So, what should a baby cook for a cold?
During a cold, the functions of various organs in the baby's body will undergo some changes, and their digestive and other functions are relatively weak compared to normal situations. Therefore, improper diet can worsen the cold and cause digestive and gastrointestinal symptoms. Therefore, during a cold, the baby's diet must be mainly easy to digest, preferably liquid or semi liquid foods, and avoid spicy foods.
When the baby has cold symptoms, the mother can cook some easy to digest Congee for the baby to eat, such as millet porridge, yam rice Congee, red dates and rice porridge, vegetable Congee, pumpkin Congee, lily Congee, etc. These babies are easy to digest and absorb in the stomach and intestines, and be careful not to eat too much fish and meat, because fish can easily increase the burden on the baby's stomach and intestines, which is not conducive to the recovery of the disease, or you can boil noodles for the baby to eat, which is also conducive to digestion and absorption of the baby, and is conducive to the recovery of colds.
At the same time, mothers should also encourage their babies to drink more warm water. They can also use Houttuynia cordata water or ginger, brown sugar, and scallion roots to boil water for their babies to drink, which can help treat colds. In addition, let babies drink fresh fruit juices, such as apple juice, orange juice, or grapefruit juice, which are rich in vitamin C. Vitamin C can help babies enhance their body's resistance, resist foreign cold viruses or bacteria, and promote the recovery of colds.
