Bronchitis patients have a long course of disease, persistent cough and poor physique, so diet conditioning is also an important link in the treatment of traditional Chinese and western medicine. Pay attention to the following aspects in diet:
(1) Food should be light: fresh vegetables, such as Chinese cabbage, spinach, rape, radish, carrot, tomato, cucumber, wax gourd, etc., can not only supplement the supply of vitamins and inorganic salts, but also have the functions of resolving phlegm, removing fire and relaxing bowels; Soybeans and bean products contain high-quality protein needed by human body, which can supplement the nutrient loss caused by chronic tracheitis, without the disadvantages of phlegm accumulating fire.
(2) The patient's cough lasts for a long time, which leads to essence failure and lung and spleen weakness. Therefore, foods with the functions of invigorating spleen and lung, kidney, regulating qi and resolving phlegm, such as pig, cattle, sheep, lung, loquat, orange, pear, lily, jujube, lotus seed, almond, walnut, honey, etc., are usually selected, which is helpful to strengthen physical fitness and improve symptoms.
(3) Do not eat oily seafood. Because "fish makes a fire, meat produces phlegm", children with chronic bronchitis should eat less yellow croaker, hairtail, shrimp, crab and fat to avoid helping the fire produce phlegm.
(4) Do not eat irritating food: spicy things such as pepper, pepper, garlic, onion and leek can stimulate the respiratory tract and aggravate symptoms; The seasoning of dishes should not be too salty or too sweet, and the hot and cold should be moderate.
