Dr Vandan H KumarFather of a 7 yr 4 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.d
diet to avoid
biscuits, maida, ice creams, cold food items, chocolate, chips and any packet food, sweet sugary item, cakes , cookies. d
whether the child will have an illness or cough and cold or sore throat with any particular food or not (banana, curd, chocolates , sour fruits / grapes or in case sometimes milk) is totally a individual thing.
if there is history of allergy and cough and cold within 2 to 3 hours of consumption of any food and you observe this on multiple occasions then only that particular food has to be avoided otherwise you can give this food during illness as well as when the child is having cough and cold.
