Patient's question:
Hello, what foods are beneficial for a child during a fever to alleviate their symptoms? Previously, because of a low-grade fever above 39°C, my child had to go to the hospital for IV drips and was restless for three or five days before getting better. The question I have is: Is it because my child's constitution is too weak and their nutrition hasn't kept up? Hello, how can I enhance her resistance and immunity through diet or more effective nutritional supplements? Thank you for your clarification!Doctor's answer:
Hello: I believe your baby's frequent fever is caused by a weakened immune system, often due to picky eating, poor gastrointestinal digestion, and a lack of exercise. I suggest that your baby's diet should be diversified, focusing on nutrient-rich and easily digestible foods. Avoid extremely cold, hard, and spicy foods that are irritating. Drink plenty of water, eat more fresh vegetables and fruits to obtain sufficient vitamins, and consume more protein and calcium-rich foods to boost the immune system. Take your baby outdoors more often for exercise to strengthen their physical fitness and prevent fever. Pay attention to changing clothes according to weather changes to avoid catching a cold and getting a fever. I hope my explanation is helpful to you.
