I always have a cough in summer, what is the best diet to treat it?

Coughing does not distinguish between hot weather and cold weather. First of all, we need to find out what causes coughing. The causes of coughing in summer generally include the following.

1. It may be because the weather is too hot and they drink less water. Some patients have chronic pharyngitis due to congestion in the throat or staying up late for a long time. At this time, the patient can be told to avoid smoking. Alcohol, avoid spicy food, drink more water, and eat more fruits and vegetables that can clear your throat, such as pears, loquats, apples, grapefruit, etc. For vegetables, you can eat more tomatoes, radishes, broccoli, etc. Of course, coughing may also be caused by other reasons.

2. It is also possible that the patient has been taking some antihypertensive drugs, such as captopril, for a long time. If such patients have a cough in the summer, it should also be considered that it may be caused by the drugs, so for this type of patient The patient is generally advised to stop taking the medication, and his cough symptoms will usually resolve on their own.

3. It is possible that the patient has persistent long-term cough due to some chronic pharyngitis caused by catching a cold, especially in summer, because it is relatively hot, and he does not pay attention to drinking some cold drinks regularly. Or eating some cold food can aggravate the patient's chronic throat congestion and edema. Therefore, long-term coughing will also occur at this time. For this type of patients, we generally recommend avoiding cold drinks, drinking more water, and not staying up late. Properly enhancing the body's immune function will also alleviate cough symptoms.
