Covid symptoms and sore throats 'worsened' by enjoying these foods, expert warns When you're feeling under the weather with Covid, reaching for comfort foods like chocolate or cheese and crackers might seem like a small consolation.
Some people find dairy [including chocolate] can make a sore throat worse as it coats the throat allowing mucus to build up leading to more frequent coughing episodes.
Dr Gareth Nye, lecturer in Biomedical Science at the University of Salford, previously told the Mirror about the food items to steer clear of for a speedier recovery from throat discomfort.
Beyond avoiding irritants, NHS Guys' and St Thomas' asserts that diet can play a significant part in your Covid recovery and meals should include 'a variety of vitamins, minerals, protein, energy, fibre, and fluid'.
The symptoms of this illness are strikingly similar to those of other diseases, but usually include a persistent cough, sore throat, and loss of smell and taste, among others.
