During cough and cold bananas should be avoided not because it increases cold but the reason is that if the person is suffering from cough and cold or other respiratory ailments bananas may cause irritation when it comes in contact with mucus or phlegm.. that is why it's better to avoid bananas during cough and cold.

Gud evening I would like to make u clear there is inter link of eating banana causes cold,rather poor immunity power catches cold very frequently.Pls consult a paediatric for boosting up your baby's immunity power.Try to give your baby fresh Tulsi leaves water Luke warm one in small amount after waking up in morning time.Try to add varieties into your baby's day to day food pattern.
