"External sensation" is a common clinical respiratory disease, usually manifested as fever, chills or bad wind, head and body pain, thin white tongue coating, nasal congestion and runny nose, itchy and sore throat, cough, etc. Meng Xiang, an emergency physician at Guangwai Hospital, reminded that generally speaking, the following foods need to be abstained from during a cold and fever:

Cold dishes and cold rice When you have a cold and fever, the righteous qi in the body is insufficient, the spleen and stomach are weak, and the transportation function is reduced, so it is necessary to abstain from cold dishes and cold rice, cold fruits and cold milk, and undercooked food.

Indigestible foods During a cold and fever, it is best not to eat indigestible foods such as glutinous rice and rice cakes.

Greasy and spicy food: Eating fatty, glycerinous, spicy barbecue, as well as liquor or some fermented foods containing alcohol, is prone to internal dampness and heat, causing damage to the spleen and stomach; Xin, sweating, and food can deplete yang energy.

At the beginning of recovery, we should pay attention to a light diet, eat less meat and high-calorie food, pay attention to let the body rest more, drink more water, and supplement high-quality protein, vitamins, minerals and other nutrients.

When you have a cold, you can eat a bowl of chicken noodle soup. Chicken soup can inhibit inflammation in the nasal cavity, throat and other parts, and has a certain effect on eliminating nasal congestion, runny nose, cough, and sore throat caused by colds. Noodles are both energizing and easy to digest. Adding some vegetables can also supplement vitamins and other nutrients. Boiled eggs, steamed custard with milk, etc. are also good choices.
