Cool food

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "cold drinks will hurt the lungs", that is to say, once the body is cold, drinking cold products can hurt the lungs of the human body, and cough is mostly caused by lung diseases, leading to lung qi failure and lung qi ascending. At this time, if the diet is still too cold, it will easily lead to lung qi occlusion, aggravated symptoms, and will not heal for a long time. Whether children or adults, cough is often accompanied by phlegm, and the amount of phlegm is related to the spleen. Spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, which is in charge of the digestion and absorption of human diet. Eating too much cold food will hurt the spleen and stomach, reduce the function of the spleen, and accumulate dampness and produce phlegm.

Fat and sweet food

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat, especially in children. In the daily diet, eating more fat and sweet will produce internal heat, aggravate cough, and make phlegm sticky and difficult to cough up. For children with asthma, overeating fat and sweets will cause phlegm-heat interaction, block the respiratory tract, aggravate asthma, and make it difficult to recover. Therefore, you should eat some light food during coughing.
