Cough caused by a cold is very common in clinical practice. Most are due to viral invasion of the respiratory tract, causing inflammatory lesions that lead to varying degrees of coughing. Patients with a cough caused by a cold can eat cherries. This is because cherries have a high nutritional value, containing large amounts of vitamin C, vitamin B, and other micronutrients needed by the body. A cold itself occurs because of low immune function in the body and can lead to upper respiratory tract infection symptoms after exposure to cold. Eating some cherries can also be beneficial for such patients, aiding in a quicker recovery from the illness.
