Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhang Ziyi
For children with lung qi deficiency, consuming foods that nourish and moisten the lungs is the best and fastest approach. Ingredients such as pears, water chestnuts, Chinese yam, and white radish generally meet the goal of replenishing lung qi. Recommended dishes include pear and lotus seed fungus soup, water chestnut salad with yam, and goji berry and white radish stewed with lean pork. If a child is a picky eater, more creative and enjoyable eating methods can be adopted to encourage greater intake, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of treating lung qi deficiency.
