Patient's question:
My child is 18 years old and currently has a low fever and has developed pneumonia. In the past few days, he hasn't been eating anything. Treatment history and effectiveness: None. What kind of help is needed: Just wondering what fruits and vegetables are good for pneumonia, and how to take care of pneumonia.Doctor's answer:
During the feverish period, it is advisable to follow a light and easily digestible diet, preferably consisting of fluids and semi-fluids such as congee, rice powder, lotus root powder, fruit juice, mung bean soup, etc. Additionally, drink plenty of water to ensure regular bowel movements.During the full recovery period, after the fever subsides, you can gradually reintroduce bowel-moistening, lung-nourishing, and fluid-producing foods, as well as meats such as milk, eggs, fish soup, lean meat soup, and loofah. Avoid warm and hot foods, as well as greasy, fatty, and spicy foods, to prevent exacerbating heat and phlegm.
Furthermore, overly sweet or salty foods, which can promote dampness and phlegm, and sour foods, which may make phlegm harder to expel, should also be avoided.
