During pneumonia, the patient consumes a lot of energy, so it is important to pay attention to replenishing enough energy in the diet. You can eat starch-rich foods such as rice porridge, millet porridge, or noodles, which are good for replenishing energy. Patients with pneumonia often have severe coughing and coughing up phlegm, so greasy, spicy and stimulating foods should never be eaten. In addition, alcohol or coffee drinks are also not allowed, which can aggravate the coughing and phlegm, and even lead to some suffocating asthma. Fish and meat should also be eaten sparingly or not at all, because they have a phlegm-producing effect and can aggravate the coughing and phlegm. Patients with pneumonia can drink milk or eat eggs in moderation, which not only replenishes the protein lost in the body, but also does not aggravate the cough. Pneumonia patients should also eat more fresh fruits and vegetables to give the body enough vitamin C to help strengthen the body’s resistance.
