It is possible to eat bananas when you have a cold. When you have a cold, some patients will have gastrointestinal symptoms, such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea, etc. This is due to the release of inflammatory mediators on the gastrointestinal tract irritation when you have a cold, resulting in gastrointestinal symptoms. It is not recommended to eat food during the acute phase because the gastrointestinal tract is in an agitated state and eating food can easily lead to aggravation of gastrointestinal symptoms and even lead to dehydration and shock. However, for the recovery period, it is possible to eat when the patient’s gastrointestinal symptoms are not severe. Because banana is a fruit, it is rich in vitamin C, which is very helpful for cold treatment and recovery. Therefore, if the gastrointestinal symptoms are not very heavy, eating bananas can be helpful for the recovery of cold. In addition, other fruits, orange juice, etc., are possible, but only if the patient’s gastrointestinal tract function must be tolerated. If there is a serious adverse reaction, postpone the time to eat fruits. Also drink more water and treat the cold regularly with antiviral drugs so that early recovery can be achieved, and also pay attention to rest.
