Hey guys,
I have a really bad cough but it’s not due to soar throat. The reason for my cough is my sinus which is irritating my throat..so can i have rice? normally ppl tell you to avoid rice and banana if you have soar throat..
given my condition, do i still have to avoid?
Thanks,
Chaachi
Re: Cough and Rice
ya rice and banana are considered phlegm inducing foods, so if its a serious cough than better to avoid it. heard that from my mum all the time.
Re: Cough and Rice
how can your sinus irritate your throat? 
if you have a perpetual sinus infection, see a doc.
you can eat banana rice whatever. all that is just desi lies.
Re: Cough and Rice
The sinus draining must be trickling down your throat...post nasal drip.
Anyway, my doc said milk may be avoided as it stimulates production of mucus. Rice is OK.
i saw my doc..forgot to ask him bout rice though..m on anti biotics and he gave me this nasal spray to treat the sinus i guess
gud thing u mentioned tat cuz i have a lot of phlegm
yeah it is trickling down my throat..ok i’ll avoid milk. thanks

the above is true ! my mom has asthma and milk causes her above problem esp if she has it before sleeping.
rices also affects her but not as much as milk.
