Can I eat pineapple when I have a cough? Why?

Generally speaking, because pineapples contain a high level of sugar, they are not good for the respiratory tract and coughs, so it is not recommended for friends who suffer from coughs to eat them. Patients who want to treat cough can eat some lighter foods to help reduce phlegm and relieve cough.
