What food can't cold cough eat

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that sweet food is easy to help heat and generate phlegm, leading to poor respiratory tract and aggravating cough and expectoration. Therefore, people with cough should not eat sweets, such as candy, chocolate, white sugar, brown sugar, preserved fruit, ice cream, etc., nor should they eat fruits with strong sweetness, such as oranges, watermelons, grapes, etc.

Raw and cold food often damages the spleen and stomach, leading to the imbalance of spleen and stomach transportation, weakening the body's rehabilitation function, increasing sputum and aggravating cough. Such as ice stick, frozen soda, ice juice, ice cream, etc., are not suitable for eating.

Spicy food can easily trigger bacterial infection, invade tracheal mucosa, aggravate cough, form sticky phlegm and delay the disease. Therefore, when coughing, we should pay attention to avoid eating spicy, warm and salty food, such as ginger, pepper, leek, coriander, onion, ginseng, mutton, dog meat, beef, pickle, bacon, etc. Pineapple, peach, cherry, litchi, bayberry, longan and plum should also be eaten less. No drinking, smoking, strong tea or coffee.

matters needing attention

Many people still cough for a long time after they have a good cold. The reason is that they don't take care of their mouth. They can't help drinking spicy food when they feel better. During a cold, the body temperature will rise, and the metabolism will also increase. At this time, we should avoid eating all spicy food.
