Dietary Taboos for Cough Patients
1. Avoid fatty, sweet, and rich-flavored foods
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mostly caused by lung heat. In daily diet, eating too much fatty, sweet, and rich-flavored food can generate internal heat, aggravate cough, and make the phlegm more sticky and difficult to cough up.
2. Avoid fish, shrimp, and crab
In general, people know that they should avoid "heat-inducing foods" when coughing, so they should not eat fish and shrimp. Fish and shrimp have the greatest impact on "cough due to wind-heat".
Children with cough will experience worsened symptoms after eating fishy foods, which is related to the stimulation of the respiratory tract by the fishy smell and protein allergies to fish and shrimp.
3. Avoid sweet and sour foods
Sour foods often cause phlegm to congeal, making it difficult to cough up, thereby aggravating the condition and making the cough difficult to heal.
When the cough is severe, it is not advisable to eat apples, bananas, oranges, grapes, and other fruits. Eating sweets will also contribute to heat, making it difficult to cure the inflammation.
