Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Zhou Xiaofeng
For relieving cough and expelling phlegm in children with bronchitis, the following foods are recommended:
1. Light and easily digestible foods: Such as Chinese yam porridge and lily bulb porridge. These foods are not only nutritious but also easy to digest, helping to alleviate symptoms of bronchitis.
2. Fruits rich in vitamins: Such as pears and loquats. These fruits have effects of clearing heat, promoting body fluid production, moistening dryness, and resolving phlegm, which can help relieve coughing and phlegm.
3. Soups: Such as white radish soup and rock sugar pear soup. These soups are not only nutritious but also have certain effects in relieving cough and expelling phlegm, making them suitable for children with bronchitis.
In managing cough and phlegm associated with bronchitis in children, attention should be given to dietary regulation. Choosing light, easily digestible foods rich in vitamins and combining them with appropriate food therapies can promote recovery in affected children.
