Can you eat mangoes when you have a cough and cold?

It is best not to eat mangoes when you have a cough or cold, as mangoes are tropical fruits, and consuming them during this time can aggravate the production of phlegm and worsen the condition. Additionally, mangoes contain a relatively high amount of sugar, and eating foods high in sugar during a period of coughing or cold can also aggravate phlegm production, increasing cough or secretion of mucus, and worsening the situation. Therefore, it is recommended to maintain a light diet during periods of cough and cold, and to consume fruits rich in vitamins and fiber. It is also important to drink plenty of water to facilitate elimination and enhance body resistance, aiding in quicker recovery from the illness. Furthermore, if symptoms are severe, it may be necessary to take cough suppressant medicines under the guidance of a doctor to alleviate the symptoms.

Does the common cold have phlegm?

The common cold, also known as acute upper respiratory infection, is generally caused by a viral infection for most patients. For the first three days before catching a cold, patients typically experience a dry cough without phlegm. After symptoms persist for two to three days, some patients may develop a bacterial infection as well. Therefore, at this point, some patients with the common cold might also experience varying degrees of phlegm production. In the case of the common cold, once a diagnosis is confirmed, it is important to promptly administer appropriate treatments such as antivirals and heat-clearing detoxifying medications to alleviate the acute clinical symptoms of the patient. By effectively alleviating these symptoms, it prevents the patient from developing additional bacterial infections, thus avoiding the occurrence of a cough with phlegm.
