Children with cough should not eat fish. After a cold, you cannot eat high-protein food. Generally, after a cold, the patient’s gastrointestinal function decreases, and it is not easy to digest and absorb fat. A large amount of fat is adsorbed in the esophagus and throat area, which is also not conducive to the discharge of secretions. When the gastrointestinal function is dysfunctional, high protein such as meat, fish and shrimp, which are not properly digested, can enter the body through the damaged gastrointestinal mucosa and induce certain strain diseases. Coughing is a symptom of inflammation of the throat, but according to Chinese medicine, it is actually a sign of fire, so try to eat some light food. Because “fish produces fire and meat produces phlegm”, the smell of fish can also stimulate coughing and make it worse. Fish, shrimp and eggs are all fishy foods. You should not eat fish, shrimp or eggs, drink more water, eat more vegetables and fruits, and pay attention to the humidity of the air to avoid getting cold again.
