What fruit should I avoid if baby (10 months old) is having cough and phlegm? Or rather, what fruit is ok to give? My mom said don't give banana and all citrus fruit. How about apples, avocado, pear, strawberry etc?

When my child is coughing with phlegm, I would just stick to apples and papaya. I would avoid banana (causes phlegm), citrus as well as berries and all the "liang" or cold fruits like watermelons and Chinese pear.. I have found steaming oranges with some pink Himalayan salt and then giving the juice to for her to drink helps to eliminate some coughing. I also find that apple soup (apples boiled with 川贝,南杏 and 北杏) when she's starting to cough helps to prevent it from getting worse. Some people may replace the apple with Chinese pear but I don't as I find that it is still quite "liang" for her constitution and she ends up coughing more.
