Diet
People with a dry cough should eat small meals during the day with easily digestible foods. This will allow the immune system to get sufficient energy to fight against the disease. Avoid consuming heavy or greasy foods as they would worsen the condition. Make sure to add high-quality protein in skinless poultry and fish, as well as complex carbs such as oatmeal and cereal. Yogurt is also a good option as it contains active bacterial cultures that would improve your immunity and gut bacteria. Some other nutritious foods to eat include sweet potatoes, squash, carrots, oranges, and some leafy green veggies. [15]
