✅ Include

Warm soups (moong dal, vegetable broth, rice gruel). Ghee or small amounts of cow’s butter to lubricate throat. Milk boiled with turmeric, cardamom, and pinch of licorice powder. Fresh fruits like pomegranate, sweet grapes, and ripe banana (room temperature). Warm water for sipping — avoid cold water at all times.

❌Avoid: Cold, sour, and spicy food. Excess talking, whispering, shouting, and air-conditioned rooms. Coffee, alcohol, and dry snacks.
