Second, food items that should be paid attention to after catching a cold
Some people think that eating eggs when you are sick with a fever is not only light and easy to digest, but also nutritious. A cold diet is healthy, but unscientific. Eating eggs in patients with fever will increase the body heat, because the heat can't be emitted, just like "adding fuel to the fire" will burn more brightly. The doctor said that eggs are nutritious, but they should not be eaten during fever, especially fried eggs or scrambled eggs. Because eggs mainly contain ovalbumin and ovalbumin, which are completely protein, 99.7% of them can be absorbed by human body. Eating eggs will produce some extra calories, which will increase the body's calories and aggravate the symptoms of fever.
Dietary matters that should be paid attention to after catching a cold II. Don't eat lean meat and fish in a cold diet. Similarly, lean meat, fish and other high-protein foods will also increase human calories, and should be eaten as little as possible.

Generally, liquid or semi-liquid food is the main food, such as rice soup, porridge, noodles and lotus root starch. And some fresh fruit to go with it. After the fever has gone down, you can eat clear chicken soup, noodle soup, vegetable paste porridge and other foods.

For example, honey and ginger cold drinks, honey and ginger juice are properly matched to treat the common cold, that is, "cold", which is mostly caused by viruses, and the general manifestations are milder than the flu, such as headache, toothache and fever. Lemon honey Chaze is mainly used for influenza or common cold. There is also fresh honey black tea, which is effective for influenza or common cold by mixing 60 grams of honey with some black tea.

2, pear: pear is cool, sweet, can produce fluid, clear heat and resolve phlegm. It can obviously relieve wind-heat cold, fever, dry mouth, cough, expectoration and other symptoms. For patients with wind-heat cold, you can use a raw pear, wash it and cut it into pieces, and add rock sugar to stew water for oral administration, which will have a good effect.
3, watermelon: watermelon is cold, sweet, and has the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat. When you catch a cold due to wind and heat in summer, eating watermelon can quench your thirst and dispel summer heat. Herbs in southern Yunnan say that watermelon can cure all kinds of fever.

4. What are the misunderstandings of cold food therapy?
Myth 1: Eating spicy food can cure a cold.
Expert: Irritating food will aggravate inflammation.
Some people like to eat spicy food after catching a cold. On the one hand, because they are disgusting and tasteless, they want to stimulate their appetite. On the other hand, a spicy diet can help their bodies sweat. Others believe that drinking after a cold can also relieve the symptoms of a cold.
Experts pointed out that the diet during cold treatment should be light and easy to digest, and avoid meat, fishy, greasy, spicy, acidic and cold food. Because in the case of any cold, spicy diet will stimulate the respiratory tract, aggravate the inflammation of the upper respiratory tract, and a cold will also make the gastrointestinal tract in a state of dysfunction. Eating greasy and spicy food at this time will increase the burden on the gastrointestinal tract. Drinking to cure a cold is also wrong. Drinking alcohol during a cold is not only easy to get drunk, but also aggravates gastrointestinal congestion, leading to indigestion.
Myth 2: Drink chicken soup with a cold.
Expert: It hurts when you drink it wrong.
Cold patients with the following basic diseases are not easy to drink chicken soup.
Hyperacidity: Chicken soup can stimulate gastric acid secretion. Therefore, patients with gastric ulcer, hyperacidity or gastrorrhagia generally should not drink chicken soup.
Cholecystitis: Cholecystitis and gallstones often occur, so it is not advisable to drink more chicken soup, because the digestion of fat in chicken soup requires bile to participate. Drinking chicken soup will stimulate gallbladder contraction and easily lead to cholecystitis.
Hypertension: Drinking chicken soup for patients with hypertension will not only cause arteriosclerosis, but also increase blood pressure, which is difficult to drop.
Hyperlipidemia: After the fat in chicken soup is absorbed, it will further increase cholesterol. Excessive cholesterol will be deposited on the intima of blood vessels, causing coronary atherosclerosis and other diseases.
Renal Insufficiency: Chicken soup contains some small molecule protein. Patients with acute nephritis, acute and chronic renal insufficiency or uremia can't deal with protein decomposition products in time due to liver and kidney reasons. Drinking too much chicken soup will cause hyperandrogenism and aggravate the condition. In addition, chicken soup has a warming effect, and people with inflammation can't warm it, which will not be conducive to the recovery of inflammation.
Myth 3: Ginger cola is a "special cold medicine"
Expert: Wind-heat cold is not suitable for cola, and it is not suitable for excessive drinking.
Recently, the temperature in most parts of the country has plummeted, and there are still rain and snow in many places. With more and more people catching a cold, a kind of "specific medicine"-ginger cola, which only needs 3 yuan's attention, has been welcomed by many white-collar workers. Many online posts claim that it is cheap, non-toxic and has no side effects, and the effect is very good. However, experts warn that this so-called "special cold medicine" is not suitable for patients with wind-heat colds.
Experts say that many young white-collar workers have caught a cold recently and like to treat them with ginger cola. Some seem to work well, while others are getting worse. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that raw ginger is a pungent and warm product, which has the effects of sweating and relieving exterior syndrome, expelling wind and dispelling cold. Many folk remedies treat wind-cold colds with ginger as the main medicine, such as brown sugar ginger soup.
