Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 5 m old boy1 Year agoA. it is important to continue the regular diet of the child and the diet during cough and cold will not change much. but it is always advisable to give easily digestible food and do not force the child for food and if the child is taking around 60% to 70% of the diet then also it's fine.
during cough and cold it is important to give plenty of fluids and water to the child which will help in recovery and also citrus fruits are advisable.
diet to avoid
biscuits, maida, ice creams, cold food items, chocolate, chips and any packet food, sweet sugary item, cakes , cookies.
try to prevent temperature variations around child that is from hot to cold and cold to hot environment.
keep the child well covered.
if the palms and soles of the child are cold to touch then the child is feeling cold and you have to take preventive measures to make the child warm.
you can go for home remedies like tulsi ginger honey (add honey if child is more than 1 year of age) combination which can be diluted with water and given frequently to the child.s
also u can give turmeric with warm milk one or two times everyday.
give warm water to drink as well as nasal saline drops frequently.
