does ghee increase cough - #25186
I am really worried about my 7-year-old who’s been coughing for weeks now. We took him to the doctor last week and they said its probably just a common cold but I’ve been reading up on what foods to avoid during this time. Someone mentioned that ghee might actually be a problem if a person has a cough. I’m wondering, does ghee increase cough? We have ghee in almost every meal cause I read it’s super healthy and brings lots of benefits for kids. But with his continuous cough, I’m scared we might be making it worse. He really loves the taste but when he eats ghee with his rice, he seems to cough more afterwards. I mean, my mom swears by ghee for so many things. But should I be cutting it out and replacing it with something else for now? Or does ghee increase cough even when it’s in moderation? Trying to figure this out before it gets worse!
