Shrimp should be eaten in moderation during a cough, because the protein content of shrimp is relatively high and if too much is eaten it is a burden on the gastrointestinal tract and not easily digested. For severe coughs, the body’s resistance and digestive ability will be reduced, and at this time if you eat shrimp will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. It is recommended to eat simple, light and easily digestible food, such as millet porridge, rice porridge, iced sugar sorbet, or white radish, with the right amount of easily digestible meat, eggs and other proteins.
