Fruits such as pears, apples, grapes and oranges can be taken orally when a child has a cough. They are not particularly sweet, especially pears are good for generating fluid, clearing heat and resolving phlegm, and apples are rich in vitamins, which are good for the recovery of a child’s cough. But try not to eat too much fruit during coughing, as fruit also has some sugar, and acidic fruit is not good for the recovery of gastrointestinal function. During the illness of children, there are signs of spleen and stomach disharmony, poor feeding, individual bloating, nausea or diarrhea. Therefore, even if you can take fruits orally, you should pay attention that the amount of fruits taken orally should not be too much, or you can take fruits orally after steaming, which is good for absorption and will not stimulate the stomach and intestines.
