10 Home Remedies For Croup
Home Remedy #5: Avoid Certain Foods
In croup, some symptoms can be attributed to the presence of excessive sticky mucus lining the airways. While the presence of mucus is normal and functions to protect the respiratory system, excessive mucus can cause difficulty breathing, coughing, nasal congestion, and throat discomfort.
There are also certain foods that increases mucus production. Therefore, during times of illness such as croup where excessive mucus can be problematic, it would be best to avoid foods such as tree nuts, eggs, milk, soy, sugar, and processed meats.
