Shrimp and chicken are two foods that are often present in the diets of children and family members. However, not all mothers know when and when not to feed their children shrimp and chicken.

When coughing

Usually when children have a cough, mothers will abstain from giving their children fishy foods, especially shrimp and chicken, because the notion that shrimp shells and chicken have many fibers cause itchy necks, making children cough more.

According to MSc Le Thi Hai, Former Director of the Center for Nutrition Examination and Consulting – National Institute of Nutrition, this is completely wrong. By:

+ Cough is caused by a disease, not by eating.

+ In contrast, seafood such as shrimp, crab, fishrich in protein, Easy to digest, nutritional supplement very good for children.

Thus, it is not advisable to abstain from shrimp and chicken when children cough, on the contrary, mothers should give their children more chicken to strengthen their resistance, as well as shrimp to help children supplement the necessary nutrients.
