A. 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 willz help in recovery and also citrus fruits are advisable. diet to avoid biscuits, maida, ice creams, cold food items, chocolate, chips and anyz packet food, sweet sugary item, cakes , cookies.
