The dietary禁忌 for children with bronchitis mainly include the following points: 1. Avoid greasy and irritating foods: Greasy foods, such as fatty meats and seafood, tend to produce phlegm and are difficult to digest; irritating foods, such as chili peppers, pepper, and garlic, may worsen coughing symptoms and should be avoided as much as possible. 2. Avoid overly sweet or salty foods: These types of food may cause phlegm to become thick and difficult to expel, thus affecting recovery from the illness. 3. Avoid alcoholic foods: Alcoholic foods may irritate the respiratory tract and worsen symptoms of bronchitis. 4. Avoid foods that may cause allergies: Such as seafood and certain fruits, to prevent allergic reactions that may irritate the respiratory tract. Children with bronchitis should follow the dietary principles of being light, easily digestible, and nutritionally rich, avoiding the aforementioned禁忌 foods to promote recovery. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to the child's food hygiene to prevent allergies and infections.
