can banana cause cough and cold   

This is absolutely a myth that has been prevailing for ages. There is no harm in giving bananas to your child. Bananas are rich in vitamin C, Vitamin B6, and potassium. These vital vitamins and minerals boost a child's immune system. It is heavy food, so it's advisable to not give it to a child in the late hours because it gets difficult to digest. However, a banana milkshake cannot be given to a child suffering from a cold or cough. No fruit should be given in combination with milk or curd during cold or cough. When you should not give bananas, you know your child is allergic to this fruit. This is very rare, though. Keen observation can help you find whether your child is allergic to bananas or not. Parents tend to overlook that the child gets exposed to dirt and dust, so they might get sick because of that and blame bananas for sickness. So be observant and be sure what exactly the cause of your child's sickness is.
