When children suffer from upper respiratory tract diseases, it is essential to make appropriate adjustments to their diet. Here are some suggestions:
1.Choose a light diet: Avoid greasy, spicy or irritating foods that may irritate your airways and make your condition worse.
2.Maintain a balanced diet: Make sure your child is getting enough protein, fat, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. These nutrients help boost immunity and better fight disease.
3.Hydration: Make sure your child is drinking enough water every day, which is very important for respiratory diseases. Because respiratory infections can easily lead to dehydration, children need to be hydrated.
4.Avoid allergens: If your child has allergies to certain foods, try to avoid these foods to prevent the allergic reaction from worsening respiratory symptoms.
5.Pay attention to dietary therapy: Traditional Chinese medicine believes that some foods have certain medicinal properties and can help relieve the symptoms of respiratory diseases.
For example, a child with a long-term cough can eat lilies, almonds, pears and other foods in moderation to help relieve cough and phlegm.
Please note that these are just some of the recommendations and specific dietary changes should be made based on your child's condition and the doctor's recommendations. At different stages, your child may need to adjust his or her diet to suit the disease.
For example, during a fever, your child may need to eat foods that are easy to digest, such as porridge and noodles, and avoid foods that are greasy or difficult to digest.
