Can babies eat eggs when they have a fever? Why?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

The diet for feverish patients should be light, easy to digest, and rich in vitamins. Generally, liquid or semi-liquid foods are preferred. Eggs mainly contain ovalbumin and ovotransferrin, which are complete proteins that can be absorbed by the human body. Consuming eggs will produce a certain amount of additional heat, increasing the body's temperature and exacerbating fever symptoms. Eggs should not be eaten during a fever.
