Diet taboo of allergic cough
1. Fast cold food
According to traditional Chinese medicine, cold drinking can hurt the lung, that is to say, once the body is suffering from cold, drinking cold products can hurt the lung of the human body, while cough is mostly caused by the lung disease caused by the undeclared and reversed lung qi. At this time, if the diet is still too cold, it is easy to cause lung gas occlusion, aggravation of symptoms and long-term non recovery. Whether children or adults, cough is often accompanied by phlegm, and the amount of phlegm is related to the spleen. The spleen is the foundation of the day after tomorrow, which is in charge of the digestion and absorption of human diet. If you eat too much cold food, it will hurt the spleen and stomach, cause the function of the spleen to decline, gather dampness and produce phlegm
2. Fast fat and sweet food
Traditional Chinese medicine believes that cough is mainly caused by lung heat, especially in children. In daily diet, eating more fat, sweet and thick taste can produce internal heat, aggravate cough, and phlegm is more viscous, not easy to cough up. For asthmatic children, excessive consumption of fat and Gan can cause phlegm and heat to coalesce, block the respiratory tract, aggravate asthma, and make the disease difficult to cure. So you should eat some light food during the cough.
3. Fast orange meat
Many people think that oranges are effective in relieving cough and resolving phlegm, so let children with cough eat more oranges. In fact, orange peel has the effect of relieving cough and resolving phlegm, but orange flesh can generate heat and phlegm instead. But ordinary children can't just eat orange peel without orange meat.
