Patients with coughs can eat eggs if they are not allergic, but they should do so in moderation. Eggs are rich in protein and a certain amount of riboflavin, niacin, calcium, phosphorus, iron and other nutrients. Cough patients who are not allergic to eat eggs in moderation can supplement the body’s need for the above substances, to maintain the body’s normal physiological functions, beneficial to the recovery of the disease. If cough patients eat too many eggs at one time, it can lead to excessive protein intake, resulting in increased renal load, which is not conducive to the recovery of the body. Cough patients should eat a balanced diet to ensure comprehensive nutrition, daily intake of meat, eggs, dairy, vegetables, fruits, etc., while avoiding spicy, fried, greasy, cold food, and increase the amount of water. If the patient’s cough symptoms have not been relieved, it is recommended to consult a doctor for active treatment.
