Can people with bronchitis and cough eat eggs?

Generally, patients with tracheitis and cough can consume eggs if they are not allergic to them; however, those with a known egg allergy must absolutely avoid eggs. The details are as follows:

For patients without egg allergies, eating eggs in moderation during tracheitis-related coughing can be beneficial. Eggs are rich in high-quality protein, vitamin A, and B-complex vitamins, which help supply essential nutrients for tissue repair, enhance immunity, support the recovery of respiratory mucosa, and alleviate inflammation. It is recommended to prepare eggs using light cooking methods such as steaming or boiling, and to avoid frying, so as not to irritate the throat and worsen coughing.

If a patient is allergic to eggs, consuming them may trigger allergic reactions such as rashes or wheezing. These reactions can directly exacerbate congestion and swelling of the tracheal mucosa, leading to more severe coughing and even breathing difficulties. Such patients must strictly avoid eating eggs and processed foods containing egg ingredients to prevent potential risks.

During tracheitis with cough, diet should be light and nutritionally balanced. Drinking plenty of warm water helps keep the throat moist. Additionally, ensure good indoor ventilation and avoid exposure to irritants such as dust and smoke to reduce coughing episodes and promote recovery.
