can we drink coconut water during cough - #25556
I am really confused about something. My little one has been coughing for a few days now, and I keep seeing people talk about the benefits of coconut water. I always thought coconut water is super hydrating and even soothing, but I’m just not sure. Can we drink coconut water during cough? I want to help her feel better, and she loves coconut water, so if it could be good for her, I’d feel great letting her have some. But, I’ve also read that some people say it could aggravate the cough or even cause mucus build-up?! Like, is that a thing? She’s already feeling kinda miserable, and I don't want to make it worse. Her throat feels scratchy, and she’s been coughing a lot, especially at night, which isn’t helping all of us sleep. If coconut water can help, I’m all for it, but I just need some clarity. Can we drink coconut water during cough? Do we need to worry about anything else with it? Thanks for any guidance!
