What food is good to eat when you have a fever?

Many people often experience a bitter taste in their mouth when they have a fever. However, if the nutrition is not sufficient during the fever, the fever will be very difficult to cure. Therefore, even if you have no appetite at this time, you should still eat some meals appropriately. For the family members of patients with fever, it is very important to prepare some meals for them that can help them recover and relieve fever. If a person has a fever, what kind of food will help him feel better?

What food is good for children with fever?

1. Choose light, easy to digest and soft food on a daily basis. Because children will have poor appetite when they have a fever, they can eat some millet porridge, noodles, and other foods that are easy to digest and can replenish the body with nutrients.

2. Rice soup. Rice soup can provide children with carbohydrates, and it has sufficient water content, making it easier for sick children to absorb it through their stomachs. Boil the rice until it is soft and remove the residue to get rice soup.

3. Mung bean soup. Mung beans are benign and have the effects of clearing away heat, detoxifying and relieving summer heat.

4. Fresh fruit juice. The main ingredients of fresh fruit juice are vitamins, minerals and carbohydrates. It only contains a small amount of plant protein and is easy to absorb. In summer, you can drink watermelon juice, which has the effects of clearing away heat, quenching thirst and promoting diuresis. In autumn and winter, you can drink fresh pear juice, which has the effects of moistening the lungs, clearing the heart, relieving cough, and removing phlegm. Fresh orange juice has the effects of removing dampness, resolving phlegm, clearing the lungs, and unblocking meridians.

5. Semi-liquid foods that children can eat when they have a fever include lotus root powder, milk substitute powder, porridge, eggs, and soft noodles. It is worth noting that liquid food is generally consumed during the acute phase of illness, and semi-liquid food is consumed during the recovery phase or fever-reducing phase. Do not suddenly add food that the child has not eaten before during the fever period to avoid diarrhea. If a child with a fever has a poor appetite, do not force him to eat, so as to avoid stomach discomfort and vomiting after eating, but be sure to pay attention to replenishing water.

What foods should children not eat when they have a fever?

1. Cold drinks. When a child has a fever, his intestinal function will naturally decline. If he drinks more cold drinks at this time, it will aggravate the child's condition, especially if the fever is caused by bacterial dysentery. He should pay more attention to food hygiene.

2. Eggs. Eggs are recognized as the most nutritious food. Many parents will let their children eat more eggs to supplement nutrition after seeing their children have a fever. In fact, the protein in eggs will produce extra heat after being decomposed in the body, which is not conducive to cooling down the child.

3. Honey. Honey is a tonic that replenishes qi. If you eat it when you have a fever, it will prevent the internal heat from being cleared, thus causing some other complications.

4. Stimulating foods, such as ginger and chili, are actually warm foods. They will add heat to the body. Eating them when you have a fever will only make things worse.

5. Drinking tea. Many people believe that tea has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. In fact, under normal circumstances, drinking some tea is very helpful for relieving heat and reducing temperature. However, if you drink it when you have a fever, it will make the patient maintain a highly excited state, causing the body temperature and blood pressure to rise. Fever itself requires more rest. In this way, the child cannot get effective rest, which is naturally not conducive to recovery. Moreover, if you are taking antipyretic drugs, the decomposition of tea will affect the efficacy of the drugs and is not conducive to reducing fever.

3. After cooking over low heat until crispy, add lotus seeds (lotus juice), salt, MSG, and Shaoxing wine for seasoning, and sprinkle with chopped green onions.
